I took inspiration from the coffee mug on top of the "computer". I have a border stamp that I thought matched the coffee mug. I stamped the border and then colored in some of the squares with an orange marker.
Our Destination this week is for my friend Lisa Lara's son who is deployed in Afghanistan. I made my card a "thank you" card for serving for our country. I kept it simple and fun. I hope he likes it!
That's it from me... no story. Not good at that, so I don't even try anymore. haha
TFL!

Your stamped border and your EF BG works so PERFECTLY together! LOVE it! Then the added different EF on the star! What a WOW card! Lisa loved it and I'm sure Kyler will too!
