I am preparing posts for this whole week on Sunday the 16th. As of today we are in Day 7 of no electricity. Posting cards today is possibly only because we have a good generator. National media has barely given Iowa a blip of news so in case you hadn't heard a storm called a Derecho started in South Dakota and moved SE into part of Nebraska but then East all the way through Iowa into Illinois. The Derecho produced Category 2 and 3 Hurricane winds and rain. The wind damage through Iowa is devastating. Thousands of trees, farm buildings, corn crops flattened and hundreds of homes losing the roof and other damage. No "storm surge" only because we aren't near the coast.
Personally our home was spared and no tree damage since previous storms took all of what we had.
In an effort to continue using up retired Stampin' Up! designer paper, this week I will be showing cards made a couple of weeks ago from the "Birthday Bouquet" pack. I have used all but a couple of pieces that approximately 6 x 6.
The designs in the pack coordinate nicely. This card includes three of the designs. I'm starting with the one I like the least. Hopefully you will agree that the rest are better. :)
Thank you for coming by today!

Oooh, I think those papers are very pretty, Vicki! Can't wait to see the ones that you like better. Glad you were spared damage, and also that you have a good generator!
This is a really lovely card. Those papers are so pretty! So glad you didn't have any damage. I read about the derecho and also heard about it on TV. We had a storm here, too, but it was nothing compared to what you endured.
