Week 90: WET

 

April showers bring May flowers.  At least they used to.  For some of us, spring is still hiding so we're going to use a little moisture to try to hurry it up a bit this week!  Rain doesn't have to be only thing that this week's cue word makes you think of, however!  Take this word and find something that works for you!

STAMPlorations, one of our fantastic sponsors, is returning this week and with Mother's Day quickly approaching, you're going to love this week's prize:

If you love the looks of this stamp set, you'll want to go and check out the rest of the mother themed sets that are now in their store!  For even more inspiration, be sure and visit their blog!
