EP Blog Hop

Welcome to the Echo Park Paper Design Team Blog Hop! Today the Echo Park Paper Design Team is showcasing projects from our latest collections. Sweet Day has to be one of the prettiest collections Echo Park has ever come out with! It's so soft and sweet!

 Here's a couple projects I made with it:

Isn't that little hot air balloon soooo fun?? I added some little flower stickers and some pearls to the top. I don't think I'm going to give this one away--maybe it needs to be framed! ;)

This is a simple, but sweet layout of my little Cooper bear. I just used two main pieces of patterned paper and adhered them to some kraft paper, machine stitched the edges and added a little strip of the blue patterned paper with a V taken out of the end. Then I just added some small little pictures and placed some fun accent stickers and brads on the page. Super simple--but I just love it!

 

The fun letter stickers that come with this collection are super fun--scrolly and white. I used them to spell out 'hello' on this card and topped it with a fun flower cluster sticker. 

 Be sure to follow the blog hop list below as you hop from one blog to the next. Return to the Echo Park Paper blog at any time for the next blogger on the list in case you get lost or confused! ONE winner will be selected from each blog to receive an Echo Park Paper collection kit of their choosing. To qualify for the kit, comments will be due by midnight EST, Sunday, June 25th to qualify for the drawing. The winner will be announced on each blog Monday, June 26th so be sure to check back to see if you've won.

Congrats Savanna! I've emailed you! :)

We went down to Venice, UT last week to visit with Brandon's Grandparents and on the way we stopped by Temple Square in Salt Lake City, UT. We had a lot of fun!

 

 The boys in front of Christ's Statue.

  

  

 Logan being a goof--I love this picture though! :)

  

 They have the coolest exhibits --perfect for children. Logan was listening about Isaiah.

  

 The best part of the trip?? The escalator. Although apparently I've never taken them on one before because they were both scared to death of it at first.

  

Then Logan got brave enough to go on it.

  

And then when Landen saw that no one died after riding it, he decided to ride it by himself. Big Boy style.

  

Mr. Cooper checking things out.

  

  

 At the Children's Museum they have toy chickens that you can find eggs under. Landen loved looking under them and hearing them squawk!

  

 Landen making up some food. I think my dinner consisted of yogurt, two cobs of corn, and a taco. Not too bad! :)

  

 Cooper was just happy to be out of the stroller, so we spent a majority of our time at the museum chasing him around.

  

Then we had to stop by the new City Creek Mall--the boys had a blast in the splash park!

  

  

  

  

  

  

 My baby. He's getting so big!

 

Look at those lashes!! love.

Part 2 tomorrow!

Gardeners' Digest Blog Hop

Whew! It's just one hop after another around here! I guess that's how it is in the spring--everyone is getting crafty!

I have a layout to show you!! It just hit the Garden Girl Gallery over at 2peas. It's my easter layout! I went with pastels--as usual! There's some Hero Arts stamps, Echo Park papers, Pink Paislee diecuts, and some random gems and buttons. I love doing two page layouts for holidays--we usually have so many pictures that I need to scrap anyways so I just make them small and put them on two pages. On this layout, I chose to leave the right side for just my title and journaling.

I've been really inspired lately by so many things--pinterest, blogs, new products, etc. But I'm just in love with Laura Craige's AMAZING cards. Look at this new one from her:

Love all of it--the papers, the brads, the flower, the little buttons. SOOO cute! I really need to break out my card stuff and get to work!!

And now for my new FAVORITE picks from the Two Peas Store:

Studio Calico's Wood Veneer products--so many fun new shapes!

Crate Paper's Tag Cuts

 

 

 

Chalkboard Numbers Washi Tape

October Afternoon's Sasparilla paper pad

Hero Arts and Studio Calico Clear Stamps Weekdays

Time to hop along!!

Kandis - this book is absolutely gorgeous! I need to get my hands on it :) I love all the scrumptious goodies on the front and can't wait to see the inside :)

And now I have a picture share.... here's my boys playing basket ball at Grandma and Grandpa Smith's this past weekend. They LOVE to play on the old hoop that's been in their driveway forever! Logan loves to play the most, but Landen will jump in sometimes and play around.
