It's lovely - I like the bright summery-ness of it. It isn't my favourite of the three I've gotten - I liked the May and Sept more. But I'm struggling to USE it - the papers just aren't working for my summer photos - and the embellishments aren't really either. I've made two layouts with it so far and I'm only okay with both of them.
Sigh...I really want to like AND use the EP kits - I love EP and Carta Bella - but I'm debating on whether to keep subscribing. Three kits in and I've made exactly two layouts....and both from the kit I liked the least.

I buy lots of Echo Park when I go to Expo and CKC, and while I love it I also struggle to use it many times, especially the embellies. I think any time I have subscribed to a kit type thing I end up not liking it too much of the time. So I just buy what I like now. It is cheaper in the long run.
Now I still have plenty I don't love, but if I had a kit coming in every month I think I will feel the need to use it even if I don't really like it.

you make a good point myboysnme - with the kit coming in every other month, I do feel an obligation to use it. I was hoping that the kits would get me thinking a little out of the box and using some of the items I don't usually use (the die cuts, stamps, chipboard, 6x6 pad) but... |

I just bought all the Echo Park Fall Market line. I just love their products. They are always so fun. I did use one of the kits with all the die cuts and stuff to make cards. It was fun but I prefer to get just the parts that I know I will use.

I think they give you quite a bit of product, right? If so, so might want to look at Simple Cut Creations on YouTube. She features a different line every week using one of four or five templates. Find the template that does six layouts using maybe 10 pieces of paper and embellishments. I swear watching her just cut a few pieces of paper and creating adorable layouts really inspires me. I use her templates on different lines and change them up some and love them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaqI1czA4Us |

I have pinned a few layouts on Pinterest. I am hoarding this collection for my November retreat. We'll be visiting our grands in Montana soon, so hopefully I will have some great new photos to use. I love this one, although it is more embellishment heavy than my typical style: link |

thanks mikklynn - that is a great one although if I copy it, I'll probably use less embellishments |
