Laurel Davis Crafted: Spring Is In The Air!

At this time of year when the snow has melted, it feels a little warmer, and the sun is out in all its brilliance, I start to walk through my garden with my head down looking for the first sign of my tulips pushing up through the mulch to say "Spring is here!" Nothing says spring like tulips and with that we also know it will be Easter before too long.

I am so happy that Stampin' Up!® provides the perfect products to help celebrate these times of year. The theme for March's blog is Spring and Easter and this month it is my pleasure to remind you of the beautiful Timeless Tulips bundle in the annual catalog.
