Hola layout

Happy Monday!  Our BBTB2 challenge this week is a Fiesta theme to celebrate National Margarita Day.  I must confess I am a bit surprised that National Margarita Day is in February, but perhaps tossing back a few margaritas is the answer to the winter blahs.  As there are sadly no fiestas or margaritas in my immediate future, I dug down into the "to be scrapped" pile for these pictures from Cozumel last summer, since Cozumel is basically one giant fiesta (especially after going to Señor Frog's!).  I used the Ole cartridge for all my cricut cuts, including the supercool banner and font (you can see it all better if you click on the picture for a close-up).  I hope you will consider joining us with a project and please go see all the fun over at BBTB2 from my fellow designers!

Viva Mexico layout (for BBTB2)

Happy Monday!  Did you have a good weekend?  I did-the weather was fabulous, I had the weekend off of work, AND I got to go to the Maroon 5 concert Saturday night for a date night with my hubby!!!  I'm not really ready to face real life yet…. lots of diet Coke on tap for today to help me cope, lol!  But on to more crafty pursuits!

Our BBTB2 challenge this week is to use a frame on a project.  My Viva Mexico layout is for some vacation pictures for an upcoming cruise stop in Cozumel.  My hubby and I are getting ready to take a cruise in April for our 19th wedding anniversary-just the two of us!  We have been away from the kids overnight only a handful of times, so this is a REALLY big deal!!!!  I know I will take lots of pictures sightseeing, so I was browsing the Ole cartridge and found this really cool frame.   The middle layer is quite intricate, so I would recommend using spray adhesive to stick it down instead of a glue pen like I did.  I was really happy with how my layout turned out, as I was going for fun and colorful.  There is a smorgasbord of frames to see over at BBTB2, so take a look and link up a project!
