Welcome to the second annual Dia de Reyes Blog Hop. If you've come from Gaby's Blog, you're on the right track and you've learned something about this happy day as celebrated in Latin cultures and why this day is so very special to her. Last year my project reflected the more traditional and religious aspect (see it HERE) but I decided to be a bit more whimsical today. Forget Santa, Latin children anticipate this day with great excitement as it is the day they receive their gifts from Los Reyes Magos, as the Baby Jesus did. They put their shoes by the window or under their beds and wake up to find them filled with gifts. My camel is indeed bearing gifts and is also rockin' the shoe aspect here. LOL
I've welded some high heels from Forever Young to the camel from Animal Kingdom. The shadow base (at 7") was cut from chipboard with both sides covered in red. I cut the regular camel twice (well, actually 4 times since it can be viewed from either side) and trimmed the legs on one and popped it to give it added dimension. They were glued to a small box that can bear gifts. The saddle is cut with Nesties Labels Eleven and trimmed to fit with a rosette that says "Joy" from K&Co. And the shoes...did you notice the red soles? This is one stylin' camel.
And she obviously knows where to shop!
Looks like some little girl is going to be very VERY happy! Children who have been good all year (and big girls too) write letters to their favorite King hoping that their wishes will come true.
I've been a very good girl so... Gaspar Baby, hurry to my window tonight! Now off you go to Esther's Blog but don't forget to leave a comment before you go. And if you get lost, here's the complete line-up...Enjoy!
