<p class="p2">Since premiering at National Stationery Show last May, <a href="https://www.shadesofexpressiondesigns.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shades of Expression Designs</a> has been busy creating a bright bevy of stationery that reminds us that spring is on the horizon.</p>
<p class="p2">Featuring the brand&#8217;s signature watercolors and filled with florals, nature and a touch of whimsy, new introductions include journals, notepads, coasters and my favorite — personalized notecards.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17048" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Collection-Journals_edited-1.jpg" alt="" width="597" height="800" /><br />
