I am bringing back this
Day of the Dead mini altar

To understand this folkloric, cultural and HAPPY celebration,
I invite you to re-discover my past post on this celebration !
I am bringing back this
Day of the Dead mini altar
that I posted back in October 2012
The altar was made in honor of
the Mexican and central American celebration of "Day of the Dead"
This post featured a "Tent" card and a skull made in "Papier-mâché"
want to make a "Tent" card
see the decorated skull in color
and know more about this traditional holiday?
click on the...
Also, I recommend you to go and see
the Movie "the Book of Life"
on theaters right now here in the USA.
It is a beautifully animated film, for children :)
of the legend of Manolo, who experiences
the worlds of death and life!
This movie is all about this holiday, family, life and death!
It's director (Jorge Gutierrez), it's producer (Guillermo del Toro)
and many of the voices on the movie are Mexican,
so who better than them to explain this complex custom!
So my post is all about Mexico and its beautiful traditions!

Challenge #3:
Hi Bibiana,
ReplyDeletewell it looks like I'm first again to enter.
I well remember this post and your lovely creation.
I found it very fascinating the Mexican custom, when I read it last year.
It's so great to hear about other counties customs I think.
So thank you for the info, and all your hard work involved in this challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
beautiful post, we refer to the day of the dead as All Saints Day. Gorgeous creation. hugs, Nat
ReplyDeleteHermosa creaciòn Bibiana y muy valiosa informaciòn de una costumbre muy hermosa de Mexico donde recuerdan a sus seres queridos que ya han partido de èste plano,aqui se le dice dia de difuntos no tiene esa connotaciòn como en mèxico ,pero si los familiares van al cementerio a visitar sus difuntos y colocan flores,..bueno amiga aqui seguimos recordando viejos tiempos con èste desafio # 3,..abrazos
ReplyDeleteVery spooky and eerie. I like All Saint Day much better than The Day of The Dead (shiver) ......Lis
ReplyDeleteHello, Bibliana! This is very interesting about the Day of the Dead - all new information for me! Thank you! Your card and skull are awesome - the skull is especially impressive! I do not have any past Day of the Dead creations but I will see what I can scare up for a past Halloween creation instead. Thank you for another fun linky and I look forward to seeing everyone's past cards! Wishing you a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteWhat an impresive altar you made back then, and even I feel it a bit too scary, I think, you did an outstanding job on everything, and I´m sure the young people would just love it ha ha ha, and I can see, when a great job is put into something, and it sure is here.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame all my earlier blogposts disappeared back then, so I don´t have anything older than a year, cause it would be pretty awesome to win such an amazing prize, that you have this time, but I hope, who ever will be the lucky winner will really enjoy it. Have lots of fun this time again ladies.
geniale ta carte , bisous
ReplyDeletesuperbe ta carte bibiana, j adore ton squelette bravo
ReplyDeletebisous
C'est une très belle carte sur cette fête mexicaine ! En couleurs, elle est superbe ! Bisous
ReplyDeleteCoucou Bibiana
ReplyDeleteelle est très jolie ta carte avec cet adorable squelette mais ce que je préfère c'est le crâne version shabby lol
bon week-end
Superbes toutes ces cartes. Je participe donc mais "hors thème". J'attendrai pour le prochain afin d'être "dans les clous". Bises. Micha
ReplyDeleteHello again, Bibliana! I read the instructions again and realized it was Anything Goes, so that was a little easier for me. Thank you for another fun challenge - I enjoy looking through my old cards. They're not that old because I've only been blogging a year and a half but it's fun to look back!
