April Showers

Hi,what a beautiful,bright,spring day we are having today! The Monday Challenge over at fantabulous cricut  is themed April Showers and we were to use an umbrella or hat cricut cut. Also, over at the paper variety there is a photo inspiration challenge, which I have submitted this card for :-) and then I entered  challenge 51 at sheri crafts the theme being April Showers. Thought about this for ages as didn't know what to do with this. My son when he was younger loved to put his wellies on  and splash in the puddles(and we usually get a lot of opportunity for that in the UK!!!!). So here's my card.....



I tried to show the 'fun' side to rain!
