Ugh...still WAY TOO MUCH PINK! Hoping they'll have a knock my socks off fall kit and that that will be the one for September. Would definitely jump in on that one as they and Simple Stories produce some of my all time favorite fall collections (with the exception of Cedar Lane).

I passed on the last one and will probably skip this one, too. I like the idea, it seems like a good value. But, too much pink in both of them for me. Looking forward to seeing what they have this fall/ winter.

Their other summer collection, I Love Summer has pink, but you could work around it if you’re not a fan. This one seems predominantly pink. I’m just not a pink girl. With 3 boys, I find it really challenging to use and it’s just not one of my favorite colors.

Yeah, um...no. While I like SOME themed paper and embellishments for summer, I don't scrap theme wise anymore. That is WAY too much theme for me.
I like when kits are cohesive yet can be used for non theme layouts. Hip Kit gets it right with their December (or is it November?) kits. Some Christmas items but the majority of the line can be used for wintery layouts and other layouts. I went through last years kit quickly.

I'm not surprised though that Echo Park's kit is more themed than most - their collections are all very themed. It DOES have a lot of pink - which isn't my favourite either - but I still like it and think I'll be able to use it

I hate to be a quitter, but...I just don't like it. I'm going to unsub, probably for good.
If I absolutely *loved* the collection, and could see myself using every single piece, it would be money well spent. But, it is a LOT of product from one line, more than I buy even from a line that I just love.
There is an EP outdoor line I do want some pieces of, Summer Adventure, I would rather kust pick some of that up instead!

That's cute! I like that it's Summer and not beachy! I live nowhere near a beach and that seems to be a strong theme with most Summer collections. It is quite pink, but it makes sense in this collection to me!

I like it. Since I'll have the grands at my parent's house on the lake for 2 weeks, I'll have no trouble using it.
I love pink, so I'm good with that, too.

There seems to be a lot of busy papers. Generally I would not be interested in a kit whose paper comes from only one manufacturer.

I'm liking it. I can see me using it for my beach vacation album this year. We're spending ten days next month with my sister and her two little ones and they LOVE pink, and watermelon so it will get used up quickly I think. Hmmm, I think I'll go look for a blue gingham bathing suit just to use that sheet of paper. I kid, I kid. Bathing suit shopping is its own kind of hell for women in their late somethings...

their collections are all very themed.
Which is why I bought 11 kits at Expo last weekend.
Pink is my favorite color and with my new granddaughter I am all about pink.
summer for me is eithers blues, greens and tans or vibrant pink, green, orange and yellow

I really like it. It is a lot of pink, but I think I can make most of it work. I also have other summer kits that I can mix with it and really get the most bang out of it.

I wouldn't mind a certain amount of pink, but it really doesn't make sense to have so much in that one collection. Pink flamingo? Okay. Pink BBQ grill? Why?! Ice cream cones on a pink background? Seems to me that they had a lot of wiggle room to use less pink.

I assume the papers shown are both A and B sides. I can make the B sides work if the A is too much. The 6x6 could come in handy that some of those really busy A sides would play better smaller with the B sides. Or could make some cute cards.

The papers are really busy and I don't really scrap in themes so it's a no from me.

I used to like EP years ago. Victoria Garden was one of my favorite collections. Now it’s mostly bright or bold colors and a lot of themed paper so it just doesn’t work for me any more.

I love this so much. But I am a little bit pink obsessed so it's definitely my jam. Does anyone know what their international shipping rates are like?

I just looked at it and came here to see if anyone had started a post. I like it a lot! Most of my scrapbooking is a 3 year old girl who says pink is her favorite color so I’ll have no problem using it! And a bonus for me, her new daycare has a parent webpage where they post pictures every day so I’ll have no shortage of summer fun photos to scrap!
