The Few. The Proud. The Marines.

My niece is a Marine! She graduated from boot camp with honors March 15th. We are all so proud of her. She came home after graduation for about a week.

All the family

My brother, youngest niece Destiny, Addison (the Marine), Taylor and their Mom Sherri.

This girl is dangerous!

We had a big family cookout yesterday to celebrate and learn the scoop. She headed out today for another month of training.

I made her this card.

These papers are Pebbles "Let Freedom Ring collection from last summer. I bought them to make some "AnyHero" cards to send to our troops. I used sketch#162 from Operation Write Home.

The flag is a Tim Holtz diecut. I paper pieced the flag and put foam tape behind it. The stars are out of some scrap self adhesive glitter paper I had in my stash. The sentiment is from Stampin Up also popped with foam tape. On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment "God bless you for serving" from "My Hero Sentiments Set" by Stampers Best.

While I was at it I decided to make another card for a Hero to send to Operation Write Home. I changed a few things and actually liked this card better than the first.

I paper pieced the flag on this one too but used more colors to make the flag look more realistic.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good one.
