~Make Up Your Own Holiday~

Welcome to A Scrap Above & "Make Up Your Own Holiday"

Hosted by the one and only Karel You should be arriving here from 

                          the very talented Audrey, if you just stumbled here and would love

“Karelj is offering an over-all blog candy for those who are hopping along with us. She thought it would be fun to have some holiday-themed candy for this hop--but, of course, made-up holiday items were hard to come by! She decided to do a whole bunch of *regular* holiday themed stamps for you to enjoy. From Fiskars, there is an assorted holiday set; there's an alphabet from All Night Media, a set of 100 plus clear stamps and a storage case from Family Memories, and 5 sets of clear stamps from various dollar bins in big box stores. How to win them? Follow along the blog trail, leaving a comment on each and every blog. On Monday, Karelj will ask her  buddy Randy (random.org) to select a blog number (from the list), a day (Saturday is one, Sunday is two), and a comment number from that blog. Please make sure you have left a reliable way to contact you (email is best, in the safe format of **** at **** dot com ) so you can be notified by her personally. If you don't, she’ll have to select another winner.”
 

Well, on to my project, 

My Holiday is: "Tamale Day"

Each year (for 18 years) my husbands family makes Tamales, normally it's anytime after Thanksgiving till New Years, this is something we will continue,and I do hope to pass it on to my daughters, so this is why I decided to pick this as my Holiday.

Here is a 1 pg LO I made, the photos are from Christmas 2010, my daughter took these and her camera was not too good, hope you enjoy!

Here is the Tamale Day Card I made for the 

"Make up your own Holiday" Challenge

And, well, this is now my favorite!

My sweet mommy came over and made me some 

crochet Tamales she is soooo totally cool, love that lady!

Both the Layout and card are using 

Market Street Stamp Set Bilingual Series "BFFS"

I Hope you enjoyed this, now for the fun stuff!
