Shopping trip to Rio Piedras

Day 4 in Puerto Rico: We decided to visit a local food market to experience some Puerto Rican culture.  We went to a market in Rio Piedras, which is a part of San Juan. While we were hunting for the market, we did some shopping along the busy streets.  We also came across a curious pink church that was abandoned.  It was a very pretty church - totally boarded up.  I later found out it was a Catholic church that used to also serve as a school.  I never could find out what happened to it - other than the area was in need of revitalization..

On the first half of the double layout, I used the layout from Sketch N Scrap's challenge #77


I also was able to use the March color challenge at Scrap Much


Here is the first side of the layout:





The other side of the layout uses Sketch 430 from Scrapbook Challenges.  I rotated the layout.



and Challenge 75 from The Paper Girls Challenge, which says use the color Marsala somewhere in the layout.



And the whole double layout together:
