Our Destination Station this week is Mrs. Eula Cousins, who will be celebrating her 109th birthday on September 14th! We're filling a See-Thru Teapot with beautiful things and birthday wishes for Eula! I've filled my teapot with a huge bouquet of flowers, and I'll fill the inside of my card with the story of the flower gardens I inherited from my grandmother.
The TLC challenge today was to use Altered Designer Paper. I used up some scraps of DP that have been cluttering up my table, then cut them out and arranged them on black cardstock. Added some ribbon and pearls that I colored with markers.

How nice to send such a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Miss Eula! Come back and share with all of us about the gardens you inherited from your grandmother?

Ooh, how appropriate! A big ole beautiful bouquet of birthday flowers! Why am I thinking the flower gardens from your grandmother look just like this? That would be an interesting story. Love this Hilda....Its a wonderful birthday card for a 109 year old! Love the various DP, a great way to get color to a boquet! You did good and Eula will love it!

What a wonderful way to use up those scraps! I'd love to hear the story of your garden . I have an amazingly fertile garden this year and we're loving it! Eula is sure to love this!
