Cupcakes with SilhouetteSD

This is a special posting for me and my family....

My nephew Misael is a Marine and is being deployed for the second time 
to Afghanistan on the 18th of this month.
Today we had a get together to wish him a safe come back!! in 7 (seven) months!!
I decorated some cupcakes
using my SilhouetteSD because it had
the Marines emblem design





I had purchased this cupcake tree that I had never opened before.
It holds 35 cupcakes!
This is the print and cut option with SilhouetteSD
I first printed on my Lexmark printer and inserted into the SilhouetteSD

Thanks for visiting!!
I want to take this opportunity to thank the heroes in my life/family
My daughter Yajaira -served 8 years in the Air Force
My nephew Ismael - served 6 years in the Coast Guard
My son-in-law David - about to retire after 21 years in the Air Force
And the today celebrated
Misael
on his way to Afghanistan!
Your good wishes and prayers will be much appreciated!!
