Editor's Note

How are you celebrating the hottest season of the year? My daughter started her summer job at
the local water park. My hardworking husband recently finished our backyard play yard for the
neighborhood kids. And I plan on enjoying lots of picnics and outings with the family. It's destined to
be a great summer!
Local parks, visits to the pool, and family time aren't going to be the only highlights this summer. Here
at Echo Park Paper, we've been hard at work putting together an idea book filled with beautiful projects
featuring our latest collections. Themes include summer activities, family fun, honoring the arts, and
the great outdoors.
If you're looking for additional ideas on creating projects featuring your favorite Echo Park Paper
collections, be sure to visit the "Inspiration" section of our website. There you will find a link to our
blog, a Design Team gallery, as well as, additional FREE PDF project instructions.
This summer is sure to be sizzling with ideas from Echo Park Paper!
