This is just a quick post this morning to celebrate the Men and Women serving this great country during Memorial Weekend! To help Celebrate, Creative Me made some more cards for the fabulous folks at Operation Write Home (OWH).
If there is any doubt in your mind that this is a for real and awesome charity (sending blank cards to the troops to write home), fear not! Awesome Auntie has received two OWH cards from her husband (my brother-in-law) since he left for Iraq in April.
Here are my cards…
Since it was embellishment week, we had to use buttons (LOVE them!) even though Fabulous Spouse put us on button probation for overuse… (that’s okay, Creative Me snuck a clear button on to his Iraq layout on the previous post on the Bingo Travel Card…maybe we do have a problem!) We especially love the heart button with the yellow ribbon. The POW does, however, want to show that we can be more than just buttons, so...
The POW did snag us some blog candy for this weekend. One name will be drawn from this post (don’t really need to be a follower, but it is easier to get a hold of you!), one from yesterday’s Iraq layout post, and the final one from our June 1st post! Winners announced June 4th! So, that is 3 chances…Woo Hoo!
Happy Hopping!!! And a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!

I really love, love, love the button heart card! Very clever and the heart says it all! Blessings.
I love both your cards. The heart with its buttons (absence makes the heart grow fonder comes to mind). And the fabulous patterned paper and how you embellished it with the dimensional clear glaze. AWESOME
Cool cards!
What a clever card with buttons! Thanks for sharing it here.

Buttons! This is the first card I have seen with buttons being the big wembellishment! And you can't go wrong with red, white, and blue.

It made me smile to see that you used dimensional gel. It's one of my current favorite embellishment techniques! Also, you are the only recipient of OWH cards of whom I am aware! Thank you for sharing photos of those two special cards with us! Please convey my gratitude to your brother-in-law for his service. May God bless him!
Beautiful work with a lot of detail. You are very talented.
