I combined this weeks Scrapbook page challenge and the Inspiration Challenge (Cake Nouveau)... I chose this cake (Rubik's cube) http://cakenouveau.com/cakes5.html
and the sketch challenge SBSC171 by Salster at Splitcoaststampers
Page is 12 x12 - pictures are from our trip to Playa del Carmen.
I made the checkered background from three different textured card-stocks. Cut them 1 3/4" squares, stuck them on cream card-stock and then sewed around all edges, matted again onto black.
Matted the pictures and sewed around edges. Cut out flowers with Cuttlebug dies. "Mexico" title is from DCWV Vellum Quote Stacks "Travel". I cute strips of blue and yellow for the top and bottom - sewed them on. I used Cuttlebug Letters/Numbers from the Hippie Chick dies for the Month and date - used sticker machine to apply. The journaling is computer generated, Cut out, matted with black and brads attached.

Whoa, patricia, is this ever spectacular! Look at all that stitching, girl. This is a fabulous layout and it's just perfect that you used the rubix cube as your inspiration! Girl, you look pretty darn defined in this photo! The gym is just your thing, I can see that!
