Tie a Yellow Ribbon - I started with the Friday Freebie this week. This image is Love Tree by Sew Many Cards. It took me a while to decide how I wanted to color it, then I ran across this DP. It came together very quickly after that.My DP is Making Memories, Just Chillin pad. The USA take was cut with my Cricut, useing the Base Camp cartridge. The chain I picked up at a discount store and did not have any brand labels on it. The image was cut with a Spellbinders die-cut.
As many of you know, my husband is in Iraq, so I will be sending this card to him. For those of you who don't know or may have forgotten; a yellow ribbon signifies that we are waiting for someone to come home. A lyrics of a song by Tony Orlando and Dawn are" Tie a yellow ribbon around an old oak tree, if you still want me."
For my second card, I used Sew Many Cards Duncan with Heart Balloon. Isn't he the cutest? My DP is Twinkle, Twinkle little star boy by MME. The flower is 3 petals by Petaloo. The brad is from the Seasonal Shop at Hobby Lobby.Both of my images were colored with Copics and Duncan recieved some Stickles on his tuff of hair and on the hearts.

This is marvellous Mari... a wonderful tribute! I wonder how many people would like the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" if they actually listened to the words, instead of thinking it a silly song from pre-80s! This is a fab creation! Thanks for sharing at For Fun this week!
