Survive the Storm

April is renowned for April Showers. Rain and thunderstorms are expected. But, weather is not the only way people are experiencing storms. How do you survive the storm?

Are you trying to survive actual weather related storms?

Weather Related Storms

  • Rain
  • Wind
  • Lightening
  • Hail
  • Tornadoes
  • Snow storms

Do you still experience snow storms in April?

Or are you facing other types of storms?

  • Health issues
  • Relationship problems
  • Divorce
  • Debt
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Grief
  • Uncertainty

No matter what storm you are facing, the sun will shine again. Weather related storms will come to an end and the sun will come out. As you’ve probably heard, April showers bring May flowers.

If you’re facing another type of storm, it too will change and the sun will shine again. Some storms take longer than others to move on. In the meantime, find someone willing to sit with you in the rain and wait for the sun to shine again.

Don’t know who to have sit with you in the rain? Contact me and I can be that person for you.

Purple card with background paper with writing and gray splotches.  There is a white rectangle on top with stamped grey raindrops.  There are stamped dies of a woman holding a purple umbrella and rain boots and wearing a mauve raincoat.  The dog sitting beside her has on a purple raincoat.  The sentiment label  says, "The storm will end and the sun will shine again."  There are also three grey polished dots embellishments.

Card Details

Have a friend going through some stormy times? Send them a card to remind them that you are there for them and the stormy times will end.

The images and sentiments from the Umbrella Days bundle are perfect for that. Want to add color to your stamped images? There are dies in the Umbrella Days die set for the boots, umbrellas, and dog coat. Don’t have the dies or want color for something else, like the raincoats? Stamp the image on the patterned paper you want to use and then fussy cut the part you want to use. Or, add color using markers, colored pencils, watercolors, pastels, ink and a blender pen, or some other coloring technique.

    1. Thank you. We got a new pup this week and I’ve been super thankful it’s been spring like weather here with no rain when I have to take him out.
