Simply Betty - Day of the Dead Blog Hop

 

  Hi everyone!! Welcome to Simply Betty's DAY OF THE DEAD blog hop!! We were all given this amazing image and asked to use BRIGHT NEON colours, LACEY trim, and do her face up like Day of the Dead! Well, let me tell you...I know OF this celebration, but I didn't know MUCH about it, so...thank you to Mr. Google.... I am now educated on the Day of the Dead!!! THIS website was very helpful!!!!  Unlike Halloween, Dia De Los Muertos is a day of remembering our loved ones that have departed. Many families celebrate by visiting their loved ones by spending the day at their burial site, or hosting parties in their homes. The parties are always so cheerful and full of wonderful memories!


So now...you get to HOP around and see everyone's amazing creations!!!!  IF you arrived here from LISA N'S blog, you're on the right track!!! If not, start at Betty's Blog and get the WHOLE hop experience!!! 

Here is my card I made:
