In Campaign Cricut Cricut Made Day of the Dead dia de los muertos say it with cricut

Día de los Muertos #sayitwithcricut

This weekend we pre-celebrated Día de los Muertos among family and friends and we had such a wonderful time sharing stories and honoring our loved ones. Día de los Muertos, or also known as Day of the Dead, is an ancient celebration that celebrates life after death.  The day bridges two Christian observances, All Saints Day, November 1st, honoring children who have died, and All Souls Day, November 2nd, remembering all who have died. Many believe that this holiday is only celebrated in Mexico but indeed it's celebrated all around the world by many Christians. It's a celebration of life in which decorations are placed on graves of loved ones or altars are decorated with offerings such as food, drinks and special mementos placed alongside to the photographs of their deceased loved ones with the original purpose for the dead to return to their family home for a visit.
It truly is a beautiful holiday, a great opportunity to embrace family history and honor and remember loved ones. For the younger ones to be able to hear stories about loved ones that they never got the chance to meet and for others to continue to learn and share where they came from and be able to continue to live their legacy. Because after all words are powerful and they last a lifetime and this traditions are what keep family history alive.
There is so many fun activities that you and your familia can do for el Día de los Muertos but if there is one thing that you need to do celebrate this holiday, in our opinion that would be one amazing altar. We've partnered up with Cricut on their campaign #sayitwithcricut to bring you an altar that is simple but made with so much love. We decided to use the Cricut Explore Air to make a few of our decorations and they turned out so good. Just have to brag a little, but really have to give credit to Cricut for making Cricut Design Space so user friendly. 

You can access this canvas at 
Now for those super fun colorful Calaveras "Skulls", you will find them under Autumn Celebrations in Design Space under Insert Images. My 9 year old helped me with this project and she thought it was super fun and easy to put together. We used cardstock and a Standard Grip Mat, the only tool we used for this project was the Spatula to lift cuts from the mat. 
For our last project we knew that we needed Papel Picado to give it the final touch and we found the perfect design with The TomKat Studio "Banner" also available in Design Space under Insert Images. This project took a little bit more patience and lots of more patience. Thankfully I had to catch up on "This is Us" such a good show. So all that patience paid off at the end. I used cardstock to make this banner and a Standard Grip Mat. This is were all the other Tools came in handy. You can access this Canvas 


We love sharing our traditions with our readers and we absolutely love working with companies like Cricut on campaigns like #sayitwithcricut that help us express who we are. We invite to join this amazing campaign and share with us some of your #sayitwithcricut projects. Check out some more #sayitwithcricut projects at Cricut Inspiration starting on November 2nd.

In Goals metas

Have you set #Metas for 2017?

2017 has started and I'm sure you probably have started the year with a few goals in mind. Some of those goals I'm sure will be forgotten a few weeks or months from now, but what can you do to keep this dreams alive and on check throughout the year? ¡Muy simple!, put a vision board together for 2017. 


So you ask ¿Que es un vision board?, well a vision board as I like to put is a fun visual way of looking at your goals day after day.

The process of creating a vision board is very unique to each one of us, some people cut out pictures from magazines to represent the things they want to obtain in the upcoming year, others draw things out, or print out in wording goals or declarations of things they believe and hope to remember each year. It's also a fun activity to do with your kids, ¡Imaginate! each one of your kids creating their own vision board for the coming year!


Okay so, What do you do once you have your vision board? 


1.Put it somewhere where you can look at it every day. This doesn't mean hide it behind the door or put it in your closet where you probably won't ever see it, I mean put it on your fridge so you look at it every time you go grab a snack, Or next to your mirror so you look at it before you put on your make up.


2. The following is very important you need to read aloud all your goals or declarations. Por ejemplo, one of my goals is to eat healthier and be healthier this year, so I will either have a picture of someone eating healthy or exercising, I might have words saying "I'm going to eat healthy and be healthy", Read them out loud, visualize yourself already being healthier, maybe visualize yourself being tone and in shape! You get el punto, believe it and be loud about it. 


3. Ladies, last but not least making your dreams a reality requires hard work!  Don't  just Dream, make your dreams, your goals, things you wish for a reality. Go the extra mile, put in the hours, do your research, don't take no for an answer, improve, improvise, leave your comfort zone and try new things.


Mis mejores deseos, and best vibes  sent your way for this upcoming 2017.
