This is for Emily’s inspiration challenge (SIC96) to use something about springtime weather on our page. The title of her challenge is "It’s Raining Sunshine," and that’s about right for most of the year in this part of Arizona (Phoenix area.) We’re actually supposed to get down in the low 60’s this weekend, which is extreme from the 90’s we‘ve been having. We might even get some rain (maybe I’ll take some pictures—I never think to do that because I got tired of the rain after 40 years in New York!)
I used clouds, rain, umbrellas, rain boots and the sun for this page. I had a fun kit in my digi stash called April Showers which helped me out a lot, then I searched around for some goodies from some other kits I have.
I used the cookie cutter tool in PSE9 to add ragged edges to a couple of papers and added some depth and shadowing to the words Arizona Style which use the Wee Bairn font.

Very fun page! The pictures and all the elements look fabulous!
You get rain in August. We used to go out in our swim suits and play in the rain when we'd visit grandparents in Mesa. Love your monsoon season!
