Day of the Dead is one of my favorite themes to create! The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Since losing several family members it has a special place in my heart now. SABOR has wonderful papers to use for the celebrations.
Today I have an altered cigar box to honor family I have lost!
Let's get started!
