His Little Ones: Soldier with flag 'missing soldier' card from a soldier's mom:

Hello friends,
Today one of our Design Team members, Jenn, is getting her son ready for boot camp.  She made this card in his honor.   She says, "With today's image I wanted to create the feeling of something missing, the soldier.  So I embossed the HLO using clear embossing powder on white glossy paper then inked my browns and greens over it to create a camo paper."

How precious and heartfelt this soldier's mom's card creation is!  Jenn, we will be praying for you and for Jimmy (your so well put 'something missing') as he goes off to boot camp!  As an Army wife, I have a special place in my heart for you and your son during this very proud and bittersweet time!!

Thanks so everyone who stopped by today!
We have all the orders placed today IN THE MAIL and on their way home!!
We'll be back soon!

Linda August 18,2012 1:05pm
Oh my goodness. Each set is just fabulous! I have two favorites, but if I have to choose one it is the "Thinking of You" set. I think this set is such a wonderful way to let people know that I'm thinking of them, praying for them, remembering them, and even waiting before God for them. I know I would feel so encouraged to receive a card from someone like this because it shows the Lord's love and care coming through the heart of the individual who made the card going out to the receiver of the card. This is why this set is a "must have" for me. Linda E.

Congratulations LINDA E!!  EMAIL us at inspiredstamps@gmail.com with your mailing address and we will get the THINKING OF YOU set mailed out to you!

Tomorrow is a THANKFUL theme for our Design Team Thursday so be sure to stop back by and get inspired from the Design Team!

Happy Shopping!
