April Showers

 Dora Phillips

I love rain.  Honest.  My favorite is a powerful summer storm where you can just smell the rain coming; can feel it in the air.  Those storms have such power and leave the earth so clean and fresh afterwards. 

 

As I sit here just a few days away from April, I wonder if we will see any showers that do not include the word snow this month.  It has been an especially rough winter, with more than double our usual snow.  I confess, I am starting to dream of a nice WARM spring rain to play in.

 

 

Design Note:  I did this page using an acrylic sheet as a background. I bought a large piece of acrylic and cut it down to a 12x12 sheet with a glass cutter.

 

Journaling:  (on the back of the card stock) My two grand-daughters had so much fun playing in the gutter after this downpour! The gutters were running fast and the water was warm. They played until the gutters were almost empty again! I had to take them in and put them in a hot bath afterwards. They were freezing!!!

Design note: I made the melting snow by smudging a circle and using a clear plastic layer style.

 

Journaling: Tucker January 2008. After 5 miles at 20 miles and hour, I'm feeling HOT HOT HOT. Melting snow keeps me cool cool cool!

Design Note:  I used an Exacto knife to cut some of the beautiful patterned paper to overlay on top of my photo and mat.

 

Journaling: August 18, 2007 ~ Cort and I went to Mid-Michigan to visit. Mom bought us Trace Atkins tickets. We had a great time, even in the rain!!!   pg 2: Trace Atkins Concert After waiting in line for over an hour, we picked a seat on the top row of the bleachers, so we could see over all the umbrellas. Cort zoomed her camera to take a pic of the stage & all the umbrellas in front. A wet concert but fun anyway!!!
