April Showers - Clouds and Umbrellas

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...the ladies at Practical Scrappers, however, have been wide awake and busy creating projects in which the precipitation is the inspiration.  Scroll down for a look at today's rain clouds (and umbrellas) which are anything but gray and gloomy!

Practical Scrapper Wendi Robinson made a rainy day card.  She pop-dotted her clouds, used mists to create rain, and then added Glossy Accents for raindots

Practical Scrapper Caz decided to let her pictures be her focal point.
 

Practical Scrapper Mary Pat stamped her clouds.

Practical Scrapper Marcia Dehn-Nix couldn't help but make a baby shower invite with this cute die cut from the Silhouette store.

Practical Scrapper Malika Kelly used chipboard clouds to embellish her layout.

 

Clouds like these are guaranteed to brighten anyone's day - even on a Monday!

Cloudy with a chance of Cards!

I love to use clouds as an embellishment on my cards and layouts.  Since it has been about a year since we last featured them, I thought it was time to share some projects with them again.  Today you'll get to see cards with fussy cut clouds, embellished clouds, and more....perfect for the cloudy days we often see in April!
