3rd Annual Dia De Los Muertos Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to Dia De Los Muertos Blog Hop! 
This is our third year doing this hop and I am very excited to have some awesome ladies returning  and new ones too!!

What is "Dia De Los Muertos" (Day Of The Dead)? It is not in any way a celebration of death itself at all! On the contrary, it is a day when we take the time to remember our loved ones that have passed.

It is very hard for some people to understand this celebration... and it has been speccially hard for me since my grandfather passed away a few years ago. But, little by little I have learned to cope with this loss and I can now talk about it a lot more without letting all my tears out.

My BFF Gaby has lost some dear family members and I decided to make my project for her. I want her to know that things get a lot better and that she needs to remember all those beautiful moments she had with her dear ones (I hope she shares some stories with you guys!) 

Comadrita, this is for you!



Materials Used:
Paper Trey Ink paper and die
Stampin Up Ribbon
Dilo En Español stamp set to be released NEXT WEEK!
Versafine Ink

I hope you like it comadrita!

and of course what would be this day without remembering 
my handsome and wonderful grandpa!

Abuelito Chepe I loved you when you were here, I love you now 
and I will always love you forever!

That's my grandpa and I!


and what is a hop without some candy?

We will have several winners!

    What a lovely gift you've made for Gaby! So true, our friends and loved ones are always with us. And what sweet photos of your abuelito. Aren't you just a doll and surely the apple of his eye. xxD

    Such a nice card. I know your friend will love it. She is lucky to have you as a friend to lean on. I know this holiday and I love it. Sometimes death is hard to understand... so this holiday helps us by celebrating our loved ones that have passed by the wonderful Life that they did live and how much they meant to us. I love this hop Thank you so much for having it :) You Grandfather seemed life a great man. Those pics are really nice thank you for sharing with us
