Here comes Santa Claus

This card is actually for this past Christmas. My grandson wasn't here for Christmas so this is the card I made for him. We will be having a party when he gets home to celebrate his becoming a Marine and to celebrate Christmas. 

A very simple card using card stock and a button die cut from mirror card stock. 

Retirement - the money is pathetic but the hours are great.




Be kind to one another.

This is so fun, Brenda. I bet your grandson loved getting this card in the mail. Retirement hours are THE BEST! :) xx

Great card for your grandson! I hope everything is going well for him! Our three nephews are Marines---the oldest is a C-130 pilot, the middle one flies fighter jets, and the youngest is currently at Quantico for basic training.

That is a cute card. I'd call this a grown up Santa card. It is good to see your grandson again. I can relate to the retirement comment!

This is a great card for your grandson Brenda! I always love the Santa suit on cards or tags. They are always so fun. Sounds like your grandson will be coming home soon??? I hope anyway, I know you will love celebrating Christmas with him!!! Now will he go foreword for more training? My son did his basic training then the day after basic graduation, he had to report to AIT training. Advance Individualized Training. Anyway, enjoy having him home even if it is only for a little while!!! Hugs, Brenda

Just love this card, Brenda! How wonderful that he will get Christmas & a congratulations celebration! I have button dies I've never used & will remember that gold metallic cardstock is a good option!
