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!

Family day out

Hi, hope you are all having a good Saturday. My family and I had a ride out in my new car today to visit my mother-in-law who lives in Gloucester.

We had a lovely day and decided to pay a visit to a nearby craft shop, PaperArts, in Brimscombe. It's been a couple of years since I last visited the shop. Was really nice to meet the new owners, Sue and Irené. If you are in the area, do pay them a visit.

Tomorrow, is Mothering Sunday in the UK, so I will post photos of both cards I've made. Can't spoil the surprise for them, so you will have to wait until then!

Hope to see you all tomorrow, glass of wine beckons. Jayne x
