I love Spring. And, though you can't smell it in the air just yet (there are a lot of other, less happy smells to be had in Manhattan!) I know it's coming soon. Today is Sneak Peek Day 1 for Taylored Expressions, and we a ton of fun projects to share that will get you thinking of all things Spring.
My first project features the second in the wonderful It's a Banner Day stamps and coordinating dies (there are 3 banners and 6 sentiments in this month's set). I paired them in my card with some cute little chick-a-dees from Favorite Peeps -- and do you see that darling patterned paper? That's from the new Spring Project Pantry kit and everything new you see today will be available this Thursday, March 3.
