    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Spring Into Glimmer Collection from Spellbinders.  The gorgeous foil plates and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cheery springtime cards for different occasions.
