It hasn’t taken Amy (the Albino pleco) long to make herself at home.
Within a week of getting her, we discovered, to our delight, that she had taken quite a liking to our existing male pleco, Snorlax.
Such was their liking for one another that we soon found a load of eggs.
You can see the eggs – just above the gravel.
Within a few weeks we had tiny plecos.
DS had a lovely lot of presents and we thought it only right that he should send a lovely thank you note.
He asked me to make him some thank you notes and I used it as a golden opportunity to use one of my new stamps.
I stamped the image onto some nice bright white card, coloured it with my Copics, then cut it out.
The words were printed using the computer and then I mounted the image onto the card using foam blocks – sweet eh?It has been ages since I last posted – though if I had been asked, I wouldn’t have said it was so long.
As usual, it has been a busy time. I have been preparing for DS’ 18th birthday and also trying to get ahead with the family birthdays.
We celebrated DS’ 18th birthday just over a week ago. He had a wonderful birthday weekend, starting with a home cooked Chinese meal on the Saturday, setting him up nicely for his actual birthday on the Sunday.
DH saw a card in a local shop (“mock horror!”) that he liked and wanted me to adapt it. This is what I came up with:
I had no choice (and I wouldn’t have it any other way) but to make my card:
The card & numbers were cut using my Craft Robo and the footballer was stamped and then coloured with Copics.
I also made an 18th key and a gift box:
Both the key and the gift box were cut using the Robo. The gift box I designed and the key was from a template from one of the fantastic ladies over at UKScrappers.
