Picking Berries

Happy Sunday Scrappy Friends!
I am sharing a layout I created for a lift challenge over at Paper Issues.
I used JilliBean Summer Red Raspberry Soup along with a photo of my son picking strawberries this summer and came up with this:

 

I used Gelatos and Black Color Shine for my background.

I fussy cut the berries and leaves from one of the papers. I also fussy cut the "Days Like These..."

The alphas are from Echo Park, I believe:

 

 

I added some flair from Evalicious, thread and stickers and did some stitching:

Hope you have a wonderful day!
