Camel Birthday Card

Friday, December 10, 2010
What a week!  I had my final presentation to do in my course.  It had to be pre-recorded - which actually made the process much longer than usual, but much less stressful during the actual presentation.  I am now officially off school until the new year.  Woo hoo!  I loved my course though, and will miss it - as well as the instructor.  I had the privilege of being taught by a visiting professor from the University of Leeds.  I really enjoyed studying under her.

I made this card for my sister's birthday.  My nickname for her is "Kami" - short for camel.  (When we took a holiday to Egypt, I kept asking her to hold my things as I ran off to take photos.  She made a joke that I thought she was my camel - and the nickname began!)  I always find her things with a camel and make her cards with camels.
I cut the camel from Animal Kingdom and cut off its head - to replace it with one looking straight out.  I attached the head with a handmade wobble spring. I used my Chomas gel pen holder to draw the face and added green pearls for eyes.  The hat is from Doodlecharms and I added stickles to it.  Patterned papers are g.c.d.  The border and mini scallops were created with Stampin' Up punches and punched from the same paper as the mat.  I added more pearls to the mini scallops and also attached a little bow. 

If you haven't heard, Fantabulous Cricut is giving away prizes every day this week and next!  Be sure to leave comments there for your chance to win!
