Amazing Projects
Featuring Collections and Mini Themes from Echo Park Paper
Editor's Note
After a long, dark and sometimes dreary winter I look forward to a bright, warmer season. There are
lots of reasons to celebrate spring. My bulbs begin to peek their heads through the frozen ground.
I start shopping for a special gift for both my amazing mother and equally fantastic mother-in-law.
I attend lots of baby showers, and I send my kids off to their friends' birthday parties.
In this idea book, we're celebrating the season of spring with layouts, cards, and altered home decor
pieces featuring papers and embellishments from our 2011 collections. Whether you enjoy using an
entire collection for just one project, or whether you like mixing and matching our collections, you'll
find lots of ideas for creating beautiful keepsakes for yourself and those you love.
Enjoy our amazing design team's creations in this book dedicated to spring. And be sure to read
through all the details on how you can contribute to our next idea book! We hope you'll join in on the
fun!

Design Team gallery, and FREE PDF project instructions.
