echo park design team: september blog hop

Welcome to the Echo Park Paper Design Team Blog Hop!

September-DT-Blog-Hop-Graphic

Today the Echo Park Paper Design Team is showcasing projects from their latest collections.  I have a little project set to share with you that I created using the new mini theme kit “Grandma’s Kitchen.” 

This simple little card – I just loved the bottle of jam sticker – adding some pop dots behind it was the perfect way to highlight it here. :)

I had these pictures of my cute mom from Thanksgiving day several years ago.  They aren’t the best quality pictures – she was too busy cooking up a yummy dinner to pose for me – but I’m still so glad I took them.  There’s just something sweet and nostalgic about an apron-wearing Grandma…don’t you agree?

Here’s a peek at the kit I used for these two projects:
