Tulum Ruins - Just Nick cut file

Tulum Ruins!  What an experience! I will have quite a few layouts of our trip to the Mayan ruins near Tulum: this is the first one.

Just Nick  and Creative Scrappers teamed up this month for a great challenge.  Creative Scrappers provided a great sketch to use, and Just Nick provided a great cut file to use as well.

I had a great time with the Just Nick Chopsticks cut file.  I found some papers that look very Mayan to me so I was thrilled to be able to use them here.  I actually made the chopsticks file as big as I could fit for the page. Then I cut it in half so I could use the other half on another layout later.  It took me quite some time to get all the papers incorporated into the cutouts so I figured I should stretch it out as much as I could.

Some other items I used for the layout:

Sun is a cut file from Juliana Michaels at 17 Turtles #julianamichaels   I love her stuff!
Neat flat buttons I found at Walmart last week!  I like the look of buttons, but I'm not a fan of bulky pages so these are perfect!

I like to work my vacation scrapbooks as double layouts as much as I can so below is the entire double layout.  I'll talk about the 2nd half in the next post.
