Divas by Design - April Showers

Hello.... how are you today? hope everyone is doing ok...I can't believe it's May tomorrow! where did April go!! Looking at the weather forecast it looks like we will be having May Showers as well as April ones! but at least it waters the garden! :-)

Today it's Team A's turn over at 


and we have a wonderful theme for you this week of....

'April Showers'

I've used this very cute image from Bugaboo Stamps and a quotation that I found on the internet... I really like the words... perfect for a rainy day and for life also!! Sorry about the blurry photo.... my camera auto focus really didn't like this card! I took SO many photos and these were about the best.

Papers: Pink Petticoat - 'Isabelline'
Flower: Bo Buny
Pearls: from Stash


I've digitally paper pieced everything apart from the Bear himself Lol... lots of Waterfall Stickles on the puddle and drops.

We are sponsored by another of my favourite shops... the wonderful Dies to Die For!



I hope you can pop on over to our main blog at Divas by Design and see the team's gorgeous creations!!! :-))

I've had one of those weeks with technology keep going wrong... as I speak Blogger is saying that I am logged in at another location and do I want to log out and in again!! ROFL what is that all about? I just clicked Close and it went away.... 
My printer totally packed in on Monday... after 4 years of heavy use it has finally gone to the Big Junkyard in the Sky! On Tuesday I accidentally put one of my number dies through the eBosser the wrong way up... so my Magnetic Sheet has a great big No 3 hole in it!! Lol... I will keep plugging the No. 3 back in the hole until the new Magnetic Sheet arrives!! hope nothing else goes wrong!! 
I have ordered a new printer anyway, and so should be up and running again very soon! :-)) it's amazing how much you miss it for printing out the Digis, Papers and Sentiments. 
I still have lots of other Crafting stuff that I can be getting on with though, so it's not too bad really!
Hope you all have a good day! 
Take Care
Love and hugs

This is a fabulous card Sue, I love your fun image and fabulous quotation - it's so very true isn't it.
It does sound like you are having a bit of a bad time at the moment, I have to admit I did chuckle a little when I read the bit about you plugging the No. 3 back in the hole - sorry!
Take care.
