Our Tea Party Hostess this week has asked us to make patriotic themed cards for a gold star family, the Trahans, who recently experienced a major fire destroying many precious memories of their deceased son. I took my inspiration from our talented Design Team and borrowed the stars from Jen (Jennifrann); the navy theme from Lisa (Shoe Girl); and the stripes and eagle from Polly (Peeps 321). I downloaded the Navy logo from icon-library.com. The sentiment is computer generated using Roboto font.
This is one strong family. Their family motto is "Tough times don't last; tough people do". I find that so inspirational. I hope our cards of support help them through this toughest patch and they will once again feel strong, resilient and at peace. Hang tough, everyone. TFL

What an amazing design Debbie! I love the personalized logo with the eagle and of course the gold star. The embossed stars are great and go well with the red bg stripes.

Debbie, your card is amazing! I love the stars and stripes, the navy insignia (what a nice personal touch!) and that star embossing folder gives it such great texture! Super card!

Beautifully designed patriotic card. The design, the colors, and the layers are superb. The EF, the red stripes, and the blue framing are awesome...
