Hey Everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was great! We celebrated Mac's birthday with a few "old" friends at the house. Mac has many of his childhood friends who live in the area, so they were able to meet up and chit chat. Yesterday, we went to Adams Morgan Street Festival. It was great to smell all of those food vendors and even find some great buys! Guess what I did?! I talked my way into a good deal!!! I used Mac's talking skills and it worked. He waited for me outside of the booth and I couldn't wait to tell him I talked the vendor down another $2! :) Hey...I have to start somewhere!
Today's card is inspired by Travelinmama's Etsy Shop (Tina Fussell in Morocco). I received this pack of fun embellishments from the shop and wanted to make sure I used them instead of hoard them! The camel die cuts are so great. I love coordinating orange and blue and went for it here. I really rushed last night to make a card and post it for you all and Tina's bag of embellishments was perfect in helping me do just that! Have you ever seen a camel in real life? Those are some LARGE animals! All I can remember is that a camel's eye is about as big as my entire head! I was in high school at the time, but still, it was HUGE! Okay, off on a tangent there, but had to share that tidbit of a story!

This is just BEYOND cute! I love seeing the little camel in action! They ARE huge in real life! My kids amazingly didn't freak out when they rode them in the desert, but Landon was a great excuse for me not to hop back on! LOL!! I like my camels in paper version or in photos!
