Did you know? A truffle is a fungal fruiting body that develops underground and the mycelia form symbiotic relationships with the roots of several tree species. There are hundreds of species of truffles, but the fruiting body of some are highly prized as a food. The record price paid for a single white truffle was set in December 2007 at $330,000 (£165,000) for a specimen weighing 3.3 lbs (1.5 kilograms).

Did you know? Fireflies or lightning bugs are winged beetles known for their conspicuous crepuscular use of bioluminescence to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a “cold light”, with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically-produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red – wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers.

I made this card using Amelia Chloe digi from InStyle Stamps which is soon to be released later this month. The challenge is to create a card or project based on a storybook and I thought this image would fit the theme for any adventurous female book. Books such as Amelia Rules, Amelia Earhart and Our Only May Amelia are some great examples. The other challenge is to use a digi stamp.

Did you know? The Bengal is a breed of cat formed by the cross of a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat which is unrelated to the Bengal tiger. If kept as a pet, the cat should be at least four generations removed from the original crossing. However, until the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 is revised, licensing is still required for keeping of Bengal cats in the United Kingdom.
