Dilo En Español Challenge #4/ 4to Reto de Dilo En Español

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!!

2nd Annual Dia De Los Muertos Blog Hop!!

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! 

One winner will receive one of her beautiful prints!!

You can visit her Etsy shop HERE and take a look at her AWESOME work!

Mini Twine Sampler 

and

A Collection of Dilo En Español Stamps

If you have not seen these before click on the name to take you there! 

These are all SPANISH sentiments!!

Total of THREE winners!!!

All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me if you 

had heard of this celebration before! 

I hope you have fun visiting the rest of the blogs!! 

You will LOVE every single one of them!!

Next on the hop is my talented friend 

PATTY TANúZ!!

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!

Mother Goose Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Scrapbookaholic By Abby's blog and to the Mother Goose Blog Hop!!! If you are coming from Liz, then you are headed in the right direction!! but if you happen to find this hop here, then make sure you start over at The Queen's Blog!!  I was very happy to have been asked to join this hop and a bit nervous. I will tell you why! 

Being raised in a Mexican family our "nursery rhymes" are well, not your typical stories! Our little songs and stories are usually more on the scary side! Yep!! We have "La Llorona" (The Weeping Woman)  and "El Cucuy" (The Boogie Man). So, when I started researching about nursery rhymes.... it was all new to me!!

I decided to choose a nursery rhyme that I thought was cute: 

PUSSY-CAT AND QUEEN

Pussy-Cat, Pussy-Cat

Where have you been?"

"I've been to London

To look at the Queen."

"Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,

What did you there?"

I frightened a little mouse

Under the chair."

If you know me, well you know that I am not a fan of cats! But, as soon as I read this I new I had the perfect stamp for it!! 

This is what I created inspired by the nursery rhyme:

The sentiment says "You and I"

Materials used:

Dilo En Español Stamps

Twine from The Twinery

DCWV Paper

Copic Sketch Markers

Now, make sure you start the hop with The Queen and follow her instructions on how to become elegible to win the most awesome digital stamp set!!

and what is a hop without some candy!!

I will be giving away a Mini Sampler of Twine from the Twinery!!! 

Yes!! ALL 14 colors!!!

All I ask that you do is to tell me what is your favorite rhyme of all time!

Next on the hop is the talented 

MARIA
