Basic Training Congrats -

Hello & Happy New Year my Crafty Friends! I hope you all had a great weekend, enjoying the New Year Celebrations - I had New Years Day off to spend with my Family then back to work on the 2nd! No New Year's Resolutions here - but I always try to make myself a better person than I was the year before - :)
Today, I'm gonna share the card I made for my Son's Boot Camp Graduation, which is coming up in 2 1/2 weeks! I so can't wait to see him, and in his uniform at that! This is one Proud Marine Mom!!! :)
The file I'm using today is from KaDoodle Bug Designs

Cutie KaToodles Army Penguin

Now, My son is NOT in the Army, so I had to 

change the hat color to suit the Marine's!

The Boots match the Marine's already, but no 

green hat goes upon his head! :)

Here's what I created -

I honestly like how it turned out and I think he will too! 

I did do the inside as well, but got lazy about taking the picture -
