Hi I am writing this post on my phone with very little cell service or battery because of Hurricane Ian so I’m going to get right to it! Thankfully we are safe and our house is in tact! The neighborhood looks awful but all can be fixed and or cleaned up. My prayers go out to southern Florida! I haven’t been able to see much footage but I heard it was horrendous and can only imagine as it wasn’t easy here in Bradenton. I feel extremely lucky and thankful that’s for sure!
It’s Word Week at Just Us Girls and the word is Scraps! I’ve had these scraps in my stash forever and am so glad I could finally put them to use! This card was made weeks ago, but I hadn’t gotten to the post before Ian came along!

Come by JUGS and join us! Take care, Nanc’

Hi Nancy. I am in New Port Richey, FL. Glad you fared well for the storm, as we did also. We have actually had worse thunderstorms! Barbara Riefner

Beautiful bright happy card Nancy, I love those colours together!
We were watching Ian on the news here in the UK, it must have been so frightening

How pretty your trio of circle-framed swirls and flowers! A wonderful way to showcase just how lovely scraps can be.
So happy to know you were safe through this incredibly scary event! Sending positive energy that the clean-up goes smoothly!

So glad you “weathered” the storm unscathed. Yards can be fixed up again. Your card is so pretty! I love the color combo.
