Bienvenidos al Cinco de Mayo Blog Hop ~ Welcome ~

Feliz Cinco De Mayo ~ Bienvenidos a mi primer Blog hop

Welcome to my FIRST EVER blog hop, and what a better occasion that Cinco de Mayo to step into the world of blog hops. Although this is not a big holiday in Mexico as you might have read from the other blogs, this is an opportunity for those of us with Mexican roots to pay homage to our heritage and celebrate our Mexican background.

For my project I did a layout of our pics from Mexico, my husband and I got married on the beach in Manzanillo, Mexico and then honeymoon by traveling around central Mexico, it was a great trip and my very first time in Mexico city.

For my LO I used solid AC Cardstock and printed paper from the DEAR LIZZY collection - which is a christmas themed collection but I loved how the banners and colors worked with my celebratory LO.





As a thank you for stopping by and joining us for this AWESOME blog hop I am giving out blog candy to EVERYONE! YEAH! I am sharing the SCUT file for the cute little girl that I did and for the MEXICO title
.


She is just a cutie isn't she? Now if you have come directly to my blog and you would like to (and you should!) check out all the other ladies on this blog hop, click on the top button and that will take you to Abby's page so you can start the hop and see all the wonderful creations all my fellow crafters made.

Next up my very dear scrap pal Yolie has the honor of having the finale for this hop, 


If you get lost along the way or can't get enough of us, here is the complete line up for all the participants. Make sure to stop by everyone so you can get some awesome blog candy that Abby is giving out. Don't forget to leave a comment and become a follower!





Thanks for stopping by - go out and party hard! 

!!!!!!!Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!!!!

  32. Thank you all for all the love and stopping by! I am glad I joined the hop and I am looking forwad to the many more to come.

    @ Diana - my sons name Xaeed comes from the arabic name Saeed (sah EED) which means "fortunate, lucky". I just changed the first letter so he could be cool like me with an "x" name.. :-)
