I hope that you are getting lots of inspiration from our Bountiful Borders Blog Hop!
Here is a better look at the rosette.
And my borders.
I decided to go with an Echo Park collection, since they were so generous to offer prizes for our blog hop. I chose the Times and Seasons collection (purchased from CropChocolate.com or CC), because it seemed to go with the colors in my pictures. I used the Cricut cartridge Elegant Edges to cut out the border behind the word "summer" and also for the water borders along the bottom of the page. I used the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge to cut the pieces I used to make the rosette.
Other CC products used: Echo Park card stock-Dark blue/light blue and Green/Green, glazed brads by Basic Grey, Lush Green Ribbon by My Minds Eye, Ranger Distress ink-Iced spruce, Ribbon slide by Making Memories (from Hot chocolate) and "Summer" shimmer chipboard by Making Memories (also from hot chocolate).
Non CC products used: other card stock, wine glass stickers by EK Success, Epiphany Crafts Scalloped circle button maker.
Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog. Also, I will be giving away blog candy to one winner; they will be selected randomly from those that comment on this post. If you are a regular CC shopper, please include your CC name. If I cannot contact the winner via CC Private Message, the winner will be posted here on Wednesday, March 28.
Have fun!

DeleteLovely layout. I love so many of the collections that EP comes out with and Times & Seasons is no exception. I wouldn't have thought to use it for a Summer layout, but this came out perfect! Love the rosette, too...in fact I think the first time I broke out this collection, my layout had somewhere between 3 and 5 of them! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice layout.
ReplyDeleteCool! Love how the striped paper mimics the fence.
ReplyDeleteFun LO, Lucy! The striped paper really does make it feel summery! Looks like a great trip! :)
ReplyDeleteLucy, I love the border for the water LO. I need to remember to use it when I do my cruise photos. It is a really great LO. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance for some blog candy
ReplyDeletebtw, arrived from Corrie's blog.
ReplyDeleteGot my blog candy! Thank you very much - its some awesome stuff! Lol and it was the most difficult box I ever had to open in that it was wrapped so securely.
DeleteI really like the borders that you used, I am going to have to go pull out that cartridge again....I would never have thought to use this selection of paper, but it works so well.
ReplyDeleteI love that you used christmas papers for a summer layout - great use
ReplyDeleteI love this collection...I think it is so versatile. I like how your borders accent the waves of the water. Great photo too, really captures the moment described in your journaling. Very nice layoutand nice work!
ReplyDeleteI love your layout! Great colors and the {brackets}, love them.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lucy! You "fooled" some of us with your ribbon - it does look a lot like the celery ribbon!!
ReplyDeleteI came over from CC to hop the blog!
Thanks!!

This is such a fun layout Lucy. GREAT pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are awesome! And the colors you picked for this were perfect. Great job!
ReplyDeleteVERY nice layout! The layout makes me want to get away!
ReplyDeletelove the subject of your LO. and still more great uses for the Elegant Edges cart. it is my favorite cart by far!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the great comments. I was quite nervous about putting something on a bloghop, with such awesome crafters on CC. But everyone was very positive and encouraging. Poctures were taken on the east side of Michigan on our way to Mackinaw Island. That is Lake Huron and it was as peaceful as it looks-that's why I picked those pics. It was a very nice vacation :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping!
Lucy
this is one of my favorite paper collections! Great job with the border challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat LO,Lucy! Love the colors you used for a summer layout-so unexpected, but it all works so well together. Nice use of the edges cart., and the two pictures tie it all together so well!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to bury my toes in the sand! Lovely Layout!
