April Suns and April Shadows

Bobbi here. Life got in the way of my crafting, and I missed out on playing along with our challenge post. So, I'm popping in with our W2CB mid-challenge post.  :)

In Ohio, we eagerly look forward to spring and sun and the smiles that they bring. This was the inspiration for my card.

Annie found some perfect paper for her card. It even has "April" printed on it, and I love that sweet sentiment.

W2CB #28: April Suns and April Shadows

Hi, everyone! Sybrina here with the April/May W2CB Challenge.

Springtime is such a wonderful time of the year. Trees are budding, birds are chirping, and the grass is greening.

However, for those of us who live in the northern or central part of the country, it can be a frustrating time. One day, the sun is shining and the skies are blue. On the next day, the winds are cold and the storm clouds loom.... or the snow falls, which brings us to this challenge's words to craft by.

Let's see how our I-Team interpreted these words, starting with this month's Guest I-Teamer Cat. From the looks of things, these words reminded several of our gals of umbrellas and flowers.
