Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

April’s This or That? Challenge #7 offers you the prompt April Showers (a) or May Flowers (b). For today’s installment of Thursday Treats, I decided to focus on the first of those, so I strolled through the Shoppe looking for kits and templates you can use to scrapbook your rainy-day photographs. From jumping in puddles to showing off a new umbrella and galoshes (or Wellingtons, depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re on), whether you are storm chasing or staring out the window, bemoaning the bad weather, these products are exactly what you need to capture those memories with style and panache!
