Awaken Your Senses: Spring Scrapbook Layout With The NSD 2022 Collection

Posted on April 20, 2022April 20, 2022 by Krislyn Mattei

Spring is a time of renewed senses. Sure, wintertime is great with flurries of fun, brisk adventures and snow that sparkles like diamonds, but springtime is a whole different ballpark that we love! You can open your windows and let the fresh air whoosh with inviting warmth through your home. You can hear the birds happily chirping songs and serenades and can see an abundance of too-cute baby rabbits and ducklings. Nature dons new attire, from the blanketing, luscious green grass to itty-bitty tree buds, and perfumes scents of earthy rain (aka petrichor) and the fresh sweetness of roses, lilacs, honeysuckles and more. Well, if your senses are awakened and ready for the season, then tap into this fresh start by creating this spring scrapbook layout!
