My sweet nephew is graduating this year and he has already enlisted in the Navy. He ships out just before his 18th birthday. He and my son are the best of friends and I am going to miss him when he ships out.
I used the Karen Burniston pop up photo die cuts to create the collage. I also used the Heartfelt Creations pocket die so I could add a place for me to sign the card and add a note.
On the photos I used many of my nephew, his family, pictures of him with my son and the main picture is of him and I. I added a heart to our picture then I thought oh his mom would have my hiney if I don't add a heart to the one of the two of them so I added an heart to their picture too. LOL!
I can't wait to give this card to him. Oh and the embossed panel was a RAK from a teapot Tuesday and it is perfect for my nephew.
Thank you for stopping by for a look at my card. I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards. Thank you for looking!

What a wonderful gift you've given your nephew, Lisa! Something to maybe put in the bottom of his trunk. Memories that are rekindled from photos are simply the best. Love your front.

Fantastic embossing folder for a navy theme. What a very special card, Lisa, full of memories.
I remember going to a very interesting exhibition in Paris all about how naval uniforms had influenced fashion.

When I first saw this I loved it. It is such a special card for your nephew and to incorporate family photos for him to take away with him is genius. Such a precious keepsake for him. TFS. Happy day
