Crazy for Umbrellas

 

Being a brand new month it is time to introduce our Crazy4Challenges hostess, Frances Byrne. Our Guest Designer for March is Sandy Diller, I am sure you (like me) will enjoy seeing her creations this month.  Here is this week's challenge.......

Did you know that March was National Umbrella Month. This marvelous invention which helps prevent us from getting wet on those rainy days or can keep us sheltered from that sun was invented over four thousand years ago … wow!  Let's celebrate the umbrella this week by including one on our cards this week … it could be an umbrella to stop the rain, parasol or beach umbrella.

 

My umbrella was made with a Spellbinders die set.  The sentiment comes from a Flopsy set by MFT.  I added some piercing and a few polka dotted brads.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

As the hostess for the April Crazy4Challenges DT, I gave the team the following challenge--

It is said that ‘April showers bring May flowers”, so let’s show both.  Have flowers and  rain be a part of your card/project in some way.  Remember -- the sentiment counts too.

I used this sweet Penny Black image,  My raindrops can be found on the designer paper in the background.  My flowers are the three flower brads in the lower right.
