H2H Challenge: Hot! Hot! Hot!

I love a good challenge and this one was a lot of FUN!  Right away when I saw this on the H2H blog, I knew excactly what paper I would use.  I have been saving this paper (for a long, long time!) for a vacation album.  We went to Cancun, Mexico in 2006 and 2008.  I have done some pages, but it is a work in progess.  The paper pack is called Laid Back and was introduced in the CTMH Summer 2006 Idea Book.  I wish I could be laying underneath those palm trees and listening to the ocean crash up along the shore.  Wouldn't it be nice?!

I also got some inspiration for this card from a sketch on Jen Del Muro's blog.  It is called Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT).
