Spring Showers/May Flowers at Elphine House!!

Good Evening to you all on the first day of Spring!!
It's so weird the way my creations are posting along with the weather!
(Please scroll down to see my first posting today if you've missed it.)
This morning the weather was so sunny, warm and breezy...perfect for Spring.  This evening the weather is calling for some severe thunder storms!!  I think our Spring really came in like a lamb for sure!  It's already been such lovely weather for the last couple of weeks!

So anyhoo....I have a creation to share with you as it is also the brand new challenge for the
The theme is none other than "Spring Showers bring May Flowers!"
So you have your choice of making a flower or shower theme this time...hope you'll join us!
Here's what I came up for the challenge:
LOL!!  I had so much fun with the new stamp called Tommy Splashing Puddle from The Elphine House Australia!  Tommy has all that special cuteness that all Elisabeth Bell images have for sure!  He was so much fun to color!  I thought it wouldn't be complete without adding a bit of sparkle to the puddle!  It's hard to see in the photo, but I've added some glaze over his boots and the little froggie jumping away.  LOL!

I've got a fun template for scrap booking that had these raindrops and so I cut them out, sponged the edges in white ink and added them to my layout.  The sentiment and raindrops stamped on the image panel are from a stamp set by Flourishes.  The bottom sentiment is from a Gina K. stamp set.

Here are a few other challenges I wanted to enter:
Crafty Catz - red, white & blue
Totally Gorjuss - Spring
allsorts - 3 in a row
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - related to the new Season

So that's it for me today friends!  Hope you've enjoyed my Spring Shower creation and that you hop right on over to the Elphine House Challenge Blog to see what my talented teamies have come up for this theme!!  If you play along with us, you have a chance at winning your choice of TWO stamps....that right there is totally worth playing along for!!  We can't wait to see what you come up with! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and your comments really make my day!!
