Rain, Rain - Go Away

It's a beautiful time of year when the weather is warm, but those April showers sometimes dampen our spirits a bit.  We know that the rain is necessary to bring forth the flowers in May.  But today, I'm asking the rain to "go away".  I made this card using Melissa Frances and Simple Stories patterned papers, a Melissa Frances die-cut sticker image on a doily, a Melissa Frances rub-on sentiment saying, "Rain Rain Go Away", some hand-made scrunched seam binding, machine stitching, a metal heart, and a beautiful stick pin made by the talented Viola Mahr in the hopes that the rain will go away soon.

I am entering this little "Rain Themed Card" in the following challenges:

I'm also entering this wonderful challenge:

I hope that all of you are dodging the raindrops wherever you are, and hoping for brighter days.  May God make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you - as He is to me.  And remember, "Rain Rain - Go Away, and COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS every day". 

Have a blessed day.
