Hello and happy Monday to everyone!!! So super excited to be part of this fun hop!!! This is a customer blog hop that The Greeting Farm is hosting. It is a lengthy one so make sure you have a full coffee pot ready to go!
I do have to share that I was very very limited with supplies! I am visiting family in Mexico and did not bring ANY supplies and tools. So, I tried my very best to create a card.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE TGF! I had seen them here and there but never really bought any until I began scrappin with Michelle, Candace and Kim.... then it kinda became an addiction!
If you got here from Lisa, then you are heading in the right direction! But, if you happen to just pop in then make sure you start with the b-day girl, Emily!!!
I created a very simple b-day card. I saw this cute stamp at Michaels and thought of my day back in the 80's!! I remember taking out my huge boom-box and just played it as loud as possible. Loved break-dancing music!!
Can't really tell on the picture but a couple of the images are raised!
Now, make sure your cup of coffee is full and continue hopping!

Hello everyone and welcome to Scrapbookaholic By Abby's blog and to the Here We Come A Caroling Blog Hop!!! If you got here from Janet's blog than you are headed in the right direction!! But if you happen to be visiting please make sure you start with The Queen herself!!
I decided to pick a very popular song by Jose Feliciano called "FELIZ NAVIDAD" here is a youtube clip of him singing the song:
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you are having a relaxing day! Today I have a special guest designer!! I have followed her for a really long time and we were together on Emma's design team too. She is also a Peachy Keen Designer! I LOVE all she does and her blog is always so fun to visit!! NIKKI!!
Happy Friday everyone!! Welcome to another super fun challenge! Our last challenge was oh so fun!! Full of sparkling projects!! Thank every single one of you who entered!!! Feliz viernes a todas!! Bienvenidas a otro reto que les aseguro a todas les encantara! Nuestro ultimo reto estuvo divertido! Gracias a todas aquellas que participaron!
This time around we have another challenge that I am sure will be fun and easy! The theme for this time around is to use TWINE!! You can use ANY kind of twine you have!! and you can create anything you want!! A layout, a card an altered item... whatever you like! Esta vez tenemos otro reto que de seguro les va a gustar y estara super facil tambien! El tema que les propongo es el de usar TWINE!! Puede ser cualquier marca de hilito, y pueden crear lo que gusten!! ya sea layout, tarjeta, cajita... lo que gusten!!!
This time around I got to use Set #3 Suspirando con Tinta. These stamps are all about love. The sentiment I used on my card is a very popular saying we have in Mexico. I am not sure if it is used in other countries as well. It reads: "Eres mi media naranja" the translation for that is "You are my other half orange" Esta vez yo use el Set #3 de mis sellitos para crear mi tarjetita. Me encanta este sellito!!!
I used the Preserves cartridge for the orange and I just cut it in half and paper is Echo Park and SU cardstock. The punch for the sentiment is also SU. Ohhhh!! and did you see those adorable Peachy faces!!! It is one of the newer assortment faces. Use el cartucho de Preserves de Cricut para la naranja y la corte por la mitad. El papel que use es de Echo Park y tambien use cardstock de Stampin Up. Use tambien una perforadora de Stampin Up. Y esas caritas!?!?!? BELLISIMAS no?? Son de Peachy Keen! Una de sus mas recientes colecciones de caritas.
So, now it is my DT's turn to wow you off and show you how they used twine!!
Check out their blogs for more detail on their cards, just click on their names!
Ahora le toca el turno a mis diseñadoras para dejarlas con la boca abierta y para que vean como ellas usaron el twine en sus projectos! No se les olvide it a sus blogs para ver los detalles de como hicieron sus tarjetitas!!

Hello Everyone and welcome to our 2nd Annual Dia De Los Muertos Blog Hop!! Day of the Dead has been celebrated in Mexico for many many centuries. It is a day where we remember our loved ones and the beautiful life they had when they lived. Altars are created for those loved ones and their favorite things are put on the altar as an "ofrenda", an offering for them. It is a time of joy and happiness.
Last year I created a small altar for my grandfather and had to make sure I put on the altar some of his favorite things like mayo and some tequila! What a combination! :)
Here is my grandfather doing what he was best at, photography.
Te extraño abuelito (I miss you grandpa)
So, another thing that I always, always associate with Day Of the Dead is Frida Kahlo. Her art reflected what she was feeling and it was her way of expressing herself. Sometimes, hmmm most times a truth that was a little too hard to swallow.
I became inspired by the cover of Vogue where she appeared.
and here is my creation:
Sentiment is a quote from Frida Kahlo, it reads: "Feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly"
Frida Kahlo had an accident when she was young and had to go through many many surgeries through out her life. At first, doctors believed she might not be able to walk again. Click HERE if you would like know more about her life.
Onto some CANDY!!
Flor Larios is sponsoring our blog again this year!

Patty's blog is all in Spanish, please still leave her a message! She knows a little English and I am sure she would love to read your messages! She has a lot more history on the Day of the Dead! She lives in Oaxaca, Mexico... one of Mexico's states that celebrates Day of the Dead the most!

One more thing before we go on. You DO NOT have to use Spanish on your projects to participate!!! It is called Dilo En Español (Say It Spanish) because we are showcasing my stamps. But, you can create anything you want just follow the theme!// Una cosita mas. NO TIENEN que utilizar español en sus proyectos para participar!! Se llama Dilo En Español porque estamos promoviendo mis sellitos. Pero ustedes pueden crear lo que le quieran solo sigan el tema que se les propone.
This challenge's theme is to use Glitter or Bling!! Easy enough?! I think so!//
El tema de este reto es utilizar Brillitos o Piedritas brillosas!! Facilito ¿no? Yo si lo creo!
