CCEE1417 April Showers Bring . . . .

"What do April showers mean to you?"  That was the question posed by this month's CCEE Stampers hostess, Kathy Bradley.  I guess I'm a traditionalist -- April showers bring May flowers.  And one of the flowers that bloom in May are cherry blossoms.  So that was the route I took.


While most of the images I used are from two sets by Mark's Finest Papers, I did have to pull out my old Snap Stamps for the "May Flowers" sentiment.  Stop over at the CCEE Stampers blog to see what April showers mean to the rest of the team.

Paper:  Mark's Finest Papers - ABC Bubblegum, Black Linen, Snow Storm Smooth; scraps of sky and pink plaid DP

A beautiful card. I love the cherry blossoms and it was a great idea pairing it with the pretty, paper pieced umbrella.
