Hello folks I hope you are enjoying/have enjoyed a good Saturday wherever you are. We have had one or two spits and spots of rain but the sky is still blue so can't complain.
Anyway here is a perfectly apt card to share with you
The delightful little maid is Maggie and I just love her - she is such a jolly little character. She was coloured with Promarkers to match the papers from Pebbles, which (apart from pretty florals and checks) conveniently had a sheet that says "rain, rain go away come again another day". I used another page to paper piece her umbrella and stamped the sentiment onto a die cut cloud...as you do!!
Some challenges to play along
Without Words - Under my umbrella
Crafty Catz #274 - Two or more patterned papers
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
The Sugar Bowl #123 - Anything Goes
Fantasy Stampers #34 - CAS
( if it doesn't fit the brief please feel free to delete me!!)
The house is quiet so I'm going to have a play in my work room.
Thank you for your visit and your continued support, your comments make my day xx

This is just gorgeous Sarah - she looks just like my daughter did when she was little and loved to put her raincoat and frog wellies on to splash around in puddles. Great colouring and ,paper piecing and the sentiment on the cloud is a great idea.
Hope you enjoyed your time in the workroom!
