VSNMAR14K - Rain or Shine - Saturday, March 8 - 7:00 pm

[fionna51]

Challenge Title : Rain or Shine
Hostess : Fionna51 (Diane)
Keyword : VSNMAR14K
Date : Saturday, March 8, 2014
Time : 7PM Eastern, 6PM Central, 5PM Mountain, 4PM Pacific


So, I have a funny tale for you. Two of my granddaughters went to Disney World this past summer, and their choice for their souvenir was to get ruffled parasols with their names on them. At Thanksgiving, well, there was a problem. Five girls and two parasols is...well...inconvenient . So, when Christmas came around, guess what was in three packages. Betcha can't figure THAT one out!

Well, I don't know that there's much difference between a parasol and an umbrella. One's for the sun and one for the rain, I suppose, but some are for both. You can use them year-round! (maybe not in the snow, though!)

So, your challenge is to create a card for any type of occasion that includes an UMBRELLA or PARASOL.

It could be a baby or wedding shower...or a day at the beach...or jumping in puddles in the rain...or whatever else you can think of, just as long as there is an umbrella on your card.

Extra points if you make it Clean and Simple.

Now those weathermen remind me of Groundhog day.

You think they really stand in front of a blue screen when they do their thing?

[fionna51]

I should ask my nephew. He's a sports broadcaster type of guy. I'm sure he knows an occasional weatherman and cameraman... LOL

[Lmn]

Still waiting for my "blowing technique" paper to dry ... I think I put a little too much ink on, LOL.

so ... I've been looking for an "Umbrella" ... found one w/ some beach stamps so we're good to go

[fionna51]

Ooh, beach umbrella. Take me there right now! I'm ready for some heat! Too much below zero this winter.

[fionna51]

I was thinking about making a card with an outside caf� umbrella and coffee...

Give anyone some ideas?

That's what I was thinking too ... not to mention, it's the only umbrella stamp I found ... so a beach scene it is ...

Wishing for Summer

[fionna51]

Liz...that's a beautiful image...and your coloring is great.

[janeenk]

whoo-boy. i'm getting tired. gonna have to come back to a couple of these challenges tomorrow. we already set the clocks ahead. and i didn't sleep well last night so i will be ready for bed soon. It's going on nine with the new time. :cool:

[fionna51]

I've reset all the ones that don't reset themselves. I'll let those do their thing.

It's almost 8 here on the DST. Should call it Daylight Reorganizing time, or Lets play with the clocks time. No daylight is saved, no matter what "they" say. I say lets leave well enough alone. Hmmmph. ;)

Thanks everyone for playing! I had great fun, even if this week has been a bit sketchy for keeping up! After my nephew's wedding tonight, MAYBE it will calm down? Well, maybe not. I'm teaching another class beginning in two weeks. Have to get ready for that.

There's still time to upload your creations...until 10pm eastern tonight. So if you're still making cards you have just shy of 12 hours to finish! :rolleyes:
