No, I haven't joined up - um.... don't think they'd take me at this age (THANK GOODNESS!!!). I wouldn't last five minutes there!!! This is going to a very sweet young man that IS in Army boot camp right now and thought he would probably like getting a little mail and a "cheer me up" card.
I used the sketch from
CAS(e) this Sketch, added some stars, twine, and did the whole card up on Kraft card stock. I didn't add many extras to it at all since I don't think guys really like all that "stuff" on cards.
Thanks for stopping by....................

Great stars and patriotic colors to cheer this young man away from home serving his country. God bless him and you, Lynn, for sending him this wonderful card of encouragement!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Thinking of You card. It's sure to cheer him up!
ReplyDeleteSome gals aren't so keen on a load of 'stuff' on cards either Lynn and this is perfect for either gender that don't! How kind of you to think of that sweet young man and I'm sure it'll cheer him up.

The patriotic colors against that neutral gray, perfect. The simplicity you manage to achieve, while still making such a pretty card, always awes me. CAS is hard to do, & make it look WOW. You always do. Your young friend will love this, that you thought of him, and please tell him thank you from me, for his service to our country. HUGS
ReplyDeleteLove your card- the patriotic colors and the stars are a wonderful combination!
