Woo!! A last minute entry from........

Melinda Johns - Rain or Shine

Hi,
 
This month was perfect as a couple of days after the challenge was 
posted, My daughter's uncle gave her a umbrella. She insisted on 

taking it everywhere and would sit in the top of the pram on a 

bright sunny day and have the umbrella out. ( I trusted Big W 

to print photos and they took for ever to arrive)
 
I decided to take a dew photos and she posed like a model twirling 

it everywhere.
 
I have included a rain related, title, a umbrella in the pictures and 

in 3's 3 photos, 3 home made flower embellishments, 3 stickers, 

3 word major title.I loved the paper as it matched the colours 

and umbrella so well I didn't want to add much to the paper to 

cover it up, a Nice

simple page..

Sorry for the not so flattering photo I run out of day light 

today and only just remembered that it was dead line tonight.....

I decided to played along for this months challenge.

We have been having so many rainy days up here were I am,

a clock, an old photo and a tag.

Thanks for a great poster to work with.

Christy Strickler - Such A Glorious Feeling

Hi Shazza,

  Attached is my entry for "Singing in the Rain." When I first saw this poster, I knew I had to somehow use " what a glorious feeling" somewhere in the page. It ended up changing a wee bit, but did become part of the title. It's the perfect way to describe how my son and I feel walking in the rain together. Thank you for the fun challenge. I am anxiously awaiting next month's!

Karen Knight - One Rainy Day

Hi Shazza,

Here is my entry for this months challenge, and my very first entry for a screen 2 scrap challenge! What fun!

This is my little man and I at Dreamworld.. Fine weather all the way there, and then ..

 rain all day as soon as we hit the golide.. giggle

Didn't stop us having a wonderful time for his first ever trip to Dreamworld.

I have used the word "rainy" in my tittle, as well as three rows of stitching where ever i sticked,

 and three different types of fabric embellishments. i hope this is alright, thanks for a fantastic challenge..

I have included a few umbrellas and used 3 pic, 3 umbrella embellishments and 3 different patterned papers.
Thanks for looking

Melissa O'Neill - Gonna Rain 2Day Mum

Hi Shazza, what fun this months challenge was, had these photos of when Nate told Jan that it was going to rain that day....she said no, I don't think so Nate, but sure enough it did......we can only assume it was a very clever guess. I have the umbrella in the photos, rain in the title, and 3 photos, 3 different fonts. Hope you like the layout, this gave me the perfect opportunity to scrap this wonderful memory.....
Love Melxx

Hey Mel! What a wonderful memory to scrap! I love the pics of Jan with the whimsical umbrella and look at Nate keeping an eye out for that rain! Love the doodle looking flowers you have used across the bottom of the page.....and great journaling too! Well done!! Cheers Shazza

Every Summer we go to this Festival, sometimes the weather is very good other times it 's very, very bad!!
In the year of 2007 we had som very rainy days! :0)
The umbrellas are in the photos, my title is rain-related.
I have used 3 pictures, 3 clouds, 3 circles and 3 handwritten journaling strips.

My blog can be viewed here:

Julene Matthews - There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in..........

Hi Shazza, Here's my entry for Singing in the rain.I used only one photo(sorry!) as it is the only one I have of her with an umbrella.There are 3 embellishments including the altered CD and 3 pattern papers 2 on the CD and one behind the photo.The quote says "There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in;but they're ever so small that's why rain is thin."and that must be one of the longest titles you'll get for this challenge.The beads are all glued on separately.

Thanks,Julene Matthews

Thanks for your entry Julene! Love, Love that title, its just great!....and I think it is one of the longest titles we have had at FS2s. I love the little metal umbrellas and love the beads that you stuck on for the rain......and how cute is the little girl with the umbrella. A gorgeous layout! Well done! - Cheers Shazza

I have added 3 umbrellas to the right of my photos.
I used 3 pp's and 3 photos.
I added the tile no "Rain" on our wedding, so there is the word "rain" related word.
Thanks for a great challenge
have a great day
tc from mel ;)

 

Hi Mel! Nice to see you join us this month. Beautiful wedding photos, and I'm glad it didnt rain on your special day :) I love the vintage umbrella images you used. I also like how you popped the ribbon and bow on to just one photo. The die cut scallopped shape is just pefect for your entry, Great work Mel! Cheers Shazza

Wow! here is another great entry from.....

Lena Schreijenberg - Rain

Hi Shazza,

Hereby my take on the "Singing in the Rain" challenge.

I hope it's okay to enter a collage for this challenge.... I tried to make a layout with photo's but it didn't work out because I had this collage in my head.... so I gave up on the photo's and made this collage.

I do have a "rainy" title, I have the umbrella (3!!), I have 2x3 pink circles and the quote has 3 sentences...

I used lots of glimmermist on the background, I drew the umbrella's on transparent plastic, gave them color with permanent markers. The image, the pink circles and the raindrops are cut out of old magazines.

I hope you will like it.....

XOXO, Lena

Hi Lena!  I love it!! A collage is fine to enter. We take cards, canvases and 'Off the page' items as everyone is inspired differently...plus we love to see all the different interpretations of the challenge. I love the opaque looking umbrellas! The raindrops just look fantastic. Great entry! Well done! - Shazza 

Look at this fabulous entry from a newbie...

We have an entry today from......

Nicole - Pet Walk

Hi Shazza!
This page is for Screen 2 Scrap.  When I saw Rain I immediately thought of the Pet Walk I went on in February with my dog.  Yes of course the 1 day we get rain here in the desert has to be the day of the walk.  The rain was not a glorious feeling but raising money for homeless pets was.  For my groups of 3 I used 3 hearts I cut out of the event's brochure and I also used 3 rainbows: 1 on her coat, 1 on a tag that came with some shoes I bought, and 1 on a chipboard button by love, elsie.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Nicole
http://paperbackpirate.blogspot.com/

What a great idea for your page Nicole, and a great fundraiser for animal charity. I see you did get wet with your clothes hanging over the bath!!! Love your groups of 3 rainbows and 3 hearts. I also love the rainbow coat on your dog too.... Great page, glad you joined us for this months challenge. Cheers Shazza

Next up with some great inspiration is.....

Holly Rogers - No Rain on Our Parade

Hi Shazza,

I'm not one to pull my camera out in the rain so it had me quite stumped. Originally I remembered a photo under an umbrella at Melbourne Cup a few years ago... but its such a close up, it doesn't really look like an umbrella. Then I remembered the prop we had on our wedding day... white paper parasols. So not umbrellas in the traditional sense, but still fitting for the challenge. We were also lucky enough to have absolutely perfect weather on our wedding day... despite a lead up of rainy weather... hence the title "No Rain on Our Parade". It was my only stress before the wedding since it was something I couldn't control. The final part of the challenge was to have lots of 3, so I have 3 photos, 3 patterned papers (including the background, as its a patterned paper in reverse with the edges distressed and folded back) and 3 flowers.

http://harmonydiy.blogspot.com/2011/04/no-rain-on-our-parade.html

Thanks for a fab challenge.

Holly

 

Hi Holly! I think you wedding parasol photos are just perfect :) The title is just so fitting and I'm glad it didnt rain on your parade! Great that you did 3 photos, flowers and pp's! This is a beautiful entry and its so nice to get a wedding photo scrapped...Well done! - Cheers Shazza

Great entry today from....

Lisa Kamphuis - What a Glorious Feeling

Hi Shazza
I managed to get this months  inspiration done but I failed with some of the criterion.  If it rains here - an umbrella  wont help you!!!  So  I have NO photos with umbrellas!  So  I decided to go with Ocean spray as my  "rain" and so this is my take on this months movie.  I loved the "What a glorious feeling" so have  taken that as my title!!
Thanks as always
Lisa K

 Hey Lisa! I suppose an umbrella is not going to help you with a Queensland Downpour !!! lol. I like how you have thought out of the box and included a beach photo with ocean spray! love your flowers in three's and great idea taking a line from the title of the movie. Well done! Cheers Shazza

A great page today from......

Liz Hocking - 3 Mates

 

Hi there Shazza,

Well here is my entry for Singing in the Rain!!!  I was inspired by the 3 somes and went off on a different tangent!!! Just could not fit Rain into the LO.   LOL.  Not to worry.

I have used American crafts 'pacific' cardstock and Kaiser Fun in the Sun (lol still no rain) range of patterned papers.  Also sundry umbrella paper that my friend Cheryl made brads for me.  Well that's about it.

Take care

Love Liz

 

Hi Liz!  Cutest entry by far.....love these three little mates :)  Like your added rainbow and your 3 brads/photos and pp's. Your 3 furry friends are adorable......Glad you joined us this month.

Good Luck! and well done! - Cheers Shazza

We have our first entry this month and its from a newbie.....

Lets meet our new DT member......

Mary Steinmetz

 

Here is a little bit of information about Mary :)

Hi...I'm Mary Steinmetz from Wisconsin. I have been doing  

scrapbooking for about 12 years. I get my inspiration from 

my lovely family. I have 2 beautiful daughters and 2 crazy 

British shorthair cats, and my adorable hubby.
What got me into scrapbooking, is that I wanted to write a 

book, but since my writing isn't that great, I decide to 

my make story book into pictures. I have made over 7 albums 

and finally I'm doing a book on myself. I hope in years to 

come, my family will remember me and how much love I have 

poured into these books.

Here are some of Mary's favourite layouts :)

Shazza

Here is my submission for April.......

Shazza Bishop -Life isn't About .........

I loved this months poster, it was so easy to work with. I used a Quote on my page 'Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain!

I have thee birds, 3 leaves, 3 clouds, 3 raindrops, 3 journaling spots and 3 figures cut from photos.

And umbrellas!

I hope you all ENJOY this months challenge :)

Who's next with some 'Singin in the Rain' inspiration......

Karen Williams - Umbrellas

Hi Shazza
 
This LO is Nancy playing with her umbrella in the garden 

- this challenge made me realise how many different sets 

of photos I have of Nancy with umbrellas ( at least four!) 

and got me to scrap a few of them- there are two other LOs 

on my blog!
 
Any way I think I got everything- umbrella- in photo, rain 

in the title and threes I managed three photos, three papers 

and three clumps of embellishments (it looked too bare 

otherwise) you can always dock me points if I cheated!
 
Karen

Look at what this DT member has come up with......

Debi Clark -The Rain was ending, and Light....

Hi Shazza,
 
What a great inspiration the poster from Singing in the 

Rain was! Loved the colours of it & had to introduce 

them into my LO a little bit.
 
The criteria was great, a rain related title & I have 

chosen a poem called The Rain was ending, and Light, 

lifting the leaden skies.  I thought it was perfect for 

these photos of my daughter in Sweden, on a very showery
evening. Love all the lights upon the trees, so magical.
 
Umbrella - in the photo & then 3 photos, 3 pp's, 3 

clusters of embellies & 3
alphas.
 
Hope we see a lot of our lovely ladies works of art this 

month.
 
Cheers, Deb xx

Can't help lovin' this submission from......

Sandi Robinson -Sunshine and Showers

 

 

Hi Shazza
 
I had great fun putting this one together & have met all the extra criteria!! Rain related title...yes! Umbrella's...yes!! & things in 3's...3 photo's, 3 brolly's, 3 clouds, 3 daisies...is that enough?!! ; )
 
The photo's are of my elder son, taken in 2009, playing with the lawn sprinkler in the sunshine...simple pleasure!!
 
I dug out my seed beads & threader for the sun & swirls, the brollies & clouds were cut on my silhouette!
 
Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this challenge...& what great choice of poster for April!!

Another Fantastic submission from .......

Jane Howden - Rain Dog Blues

Hi Shazza,

 

When I found out my suggestion of “Singin in the Rain” was up for this month’s inspiration I just knew which photos I had to use – these have been sitting on my computer for some time begging to be used.

 

I have the same general colours that appear in the poster, umbrella patterned paper, the use of a raincoat theme, a rain related title and most things come in three’s.  And the fact that it was absolutely bucketing it down in torrents when I scrapped this must count for something eh??

 

All the best,

Jane

 

Look at this inspirational sub from....

Dale Tiernan -Showers of Blessing

 

Hi Shazza,

Here is my sub for Singing In The Rain. It is called Showers of Blessings (tick for the rain related title). It shows us after we had just toured Westminster Abbey. It was grey and rainy outside. The facade of the Abbey is so beautiful and I wanted to show off the stoneworking so I used a lot of filigree stickers to enhance it. I've used red paper with crowns on and a fleur de leys punch as there is a lot of royalty buried in the Abbey. I've used 3 kinds of patterned paper which are from 3 different manufacturers, 3 photos, 3 shots of the blue umbrella, 3 people, 3 stickers across the bottom border and 3 words in the title.

I've included the products used on my blog entry which can be viewed at www.daleys-dailies.blogspot.com.

Kind regards,

Dale

Next up is.....

Chantal Vandenberg -So Glad the Rain didn't Dampen the Day

Hi Shazza,

Please find attached my DT submission for April's movie poster "Singin' in the Rain".  I have been influenced by the curvy writing on the poster, the rain and the vertical "movement" in the painting.
 
I've included all three criteria;
1. Rain-related title (So glad the Rain didn't dampen the day)
2. Umbrella/s - I've got three - a felt umbrella, an umbrella brad and the umbrella in the photo
3. Let's do it in 3's - 3 x brads, 3 x photos, 3 x doilies, 3 x types of alphas, 3 x brands of pp & 3 x felt embellies

I really enjoyed this challenge, I love this movie and I've watched it many times!  Great inspiration this month!!!

Kind regards,
Chantal.

Look at this great submission from.....

Jennifer Manis -Under my Umbrella

Hi Shazza,

I loved this month's challenge!  My page is titled, "Under My Umbrella", which qualifies for the rain related title criteria, as well as the 'do it in 3's' criteria.  I tried to use 3's all over my page- 3 patterned papers,  clusters of 3 different embellishments, 3 pics.  I had to include my birdy, Athena in the page, because she is an Umbrella Cockatoo.  I am ready for Spring, so I just wanted to make a fun, bright & happy page!

 

Thanks  :)

Jen
