I'm taking a little break from the Fall cards for this blog hop with Echo Park and Imagine Crafts. Actually we're still hovering around 80 degrees F here in North Carolina! (I'm not complaining!) These summer themed Echo Park papers are from Lori Whitlock; she created a fun 12x12 pack called I Love Sunshine. A full list of products is listed under Supplies, further in the post.
