Souvenirs from Canada

Both this summer and the last one, my mom and brother went on a summer vacation in Canada.
I joined them only for a couple of days (work is calling..), but it was still fun.
Last summer we spent the weekend in Toronto and at the Niagara falls. The way there is a beauty itself, with the small boutique wineries and the picturesque town Niagara On The Lake which seems to be taken out of a fairy tale. This summer we spent our time only in Toronto area.
Mom and bro continued their journey to Montreal, and then to beautiful Victoria on the west coast.
So...of course, I couldn't help myself but creating some souvenirs from these vacations.

Don't know where this was taken... :)

How it all started...

Most of my adult life I remember myself sitting and playing with Photoshop.
Basically you could say I learned how to use that program on my own, just trying out all sorts of manipulations and options.
When I finished my military service, I participated in a graphics and web design course which lasted a year, during which I learned how to use Illustrator, Freehand, Dreamweaver, Flash and of course-my beloved software Photoshop.
I think I still love it the most.
Recently, I started falling in love with digital scrapbooking.
One can create a precious souvenir with a million forms of design. It's fabulous and so fun to make!
I'd like to show you some of the stuff I made, and I'd love to hear your opinions.

Here are two scraps I made for my colleague's son, Maor.
