Another start to a brand new week and something to look forward to, the long weekend - Yipee!
In 2011, Victoria Day falls on Monday, May 23.
Victoria Day celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday (May 24th). Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, of which the Queen is head.
Victoria Day is always on a Monday, and thus the holiday is part of a long weekend, which is commonly referred to as the Victoria Day Weekend, the May Long Weekend, the May Long, or the May Two-Four (a case of beer there is called a "two-four" and many of these are consumed over the holiday). The weekend is also called the May 24th weekend, although it does not necessarily fall on May 24th.
The Victoria Day Weekend always falls on the weekend before Memorial Day in the U.S.
The Victoria Day Weekend is the first popular weekend for spring / summer travel. Lots of people open up their cottages, plant gardens, or just get away. Expect crowds at resorts and hotels and busy highways. Fireworks displays are common, especially on Monday night.
So to start the week off I've made a card for the 365 Cards Challenge. It is Day 77 - White Space and here is the sketch......
With Father's Day coming up, I thought it a perfect time to get a head start and
here is my card.

Paper - DCWV Mat stack - Neutrals
Ink - StazOn Timber Brown
Stamps - Stampin Up - Wonderful Favorites

Another beauty. I love the tones of brown. Hope your May 24 weekend is rain free. Not likely where we are, it's suppose to be clear Saturday but rain the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Father's Day card!
