Summer Cuties

It has been a while since a new manufacturer of scrapbooking papers has really grabbed my attention, but the new Echo Park is a true winner!  The bright colors and the whimsical feel make you want to scrapbook with it and that is what I used on this recent layout, Summer Cuties.

 
The picture is an older one (you know - pre-digital!) that has always been one of my favorites.  It is from a summer when we spent time at my sister-in-law's family's summer home on the ocean in New Jersey.  My sweet little nieces let me paint their toes with flower designs and then I took this photo.  It was later in the day and so the picture is a bit shadowed, but I still love it!

I added some zipper flowers (thanks to Dee's inspiration)

and a cloud made from tulle! The journaling says:  New Jersey beach house - Elizabeth and Danielle... freshly painted toes and sweet summer smiles!
