To make my title and some fun little matching raspberries I used THIS and THIS cutting file by Miss Kate's Cuttables. I decided to "dress" them down a bit and didn't cut out the middle layer to make them more closely resemble the berries in the paper.
Since the leaves, berry outlines and thin scripty title would have most likely shredded cardstock cut at this size, I turned to some of my Silhouette vinyls to cut them out.
For my sketch I used THIS great sketch by Becky Fleck from Summer 2011 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today. I hope I've inspired you to pull out some old photos and scrapbook them too! :)

Gorgeous layout!!! AND oh my lord, those raspberries that you cut, I actually thought you scanned in from the paper! They match PERFECTLY!! You ALWAYS do such amazing work! You are by far, the MOST TALENTED woman that I know in the world of Paper crafts! I promise you that I mean that! It's no surprise that I have been following you for a couple years now and have just fallen in love with your style, color combos, design and blog! The bonus is that we developed a beautiful friendship and share more then we used to. I have to hand it to you Mendi, this layout is gorgeous. Who knew raspberry picking would produce gorgeous photos and an even more beautiful layout? Ha!
