What is your favorite summer berry? I recently asked this question in my private Facebook group, Karyn’s Croppers, and the majority answer was strawberries! I really love all berries, but I have a particular fondness for blueberries as my blueberry bushes are one of my garden successes. My bushes have matured and in recent years, they have been producing bumper crops for me. I spend a few weeks each summer picking blueberries every few days, baking with them, freezing them and eating them by the handfuls. They taste so much better than store bought berries!
I was excited when Creative Memories released their Berry Harvest Collection last month! The paper prints, stickers and embellishment icons are adorable, and I couldn’t wait to create with them. I’ll use my layout above for some photos of my granddaughter making our traditional blueberry pancakes. But you don’t need berry photos in order to use the Berry Harvest Collection. You can use it to create sweet summer layouts.
To create my layout, I used the Berry Harvest Collection, the Custom Cutting System with the Jumbo Wavy Square Frame Pattern (retired) and the Leafy Vine Border Punch (one of my favorite punches). I also used the new White Jelly Roll Pen to add some white accents to my blueberries and leaves. You can substitute the Jumbo Circle Cutting Pattern for the Jumbo Wavy Square Frame Pattern.
For step-by-step instructions and a demonstration, please view my YouTube video.
