Did you know? The Beothuk were the native inhabitants of the island of Newfoundland at the time of European contact in the 15th and 16th centuries. They were known for using red ochre which is derived from naturally tinted clay containing mineral oxides. Chemically, it is hydrated iron (III) oxide.

I made this card using Betty & Henry Christmas Mouse from Whiff of Joy. I followed Jane’s tutorial on combining the charm and pin. This is such a cute stamp and I’m offering it as Blog Candy this week – so don’t miss out! This was my first time using lacy lace and I think I’ll use it more often – it changed the whole feel to the card!

Did you know? Lace-making is an ancient craft. True lace was not made until the late 15th and early 16th centuries. A true lace is created when a thread is looped, twisted or braided to other threads independently from a backing fabric.

Did you know? Iron(III) oxide is the inorganic compound and is of one of the three main oxides of iron. Rust is often called iron(III) oxide, and to some extent, this label is useful, because rust shares several properties and has a similar composition. To a chemist, rust is considered an ill-defined material, described as hydrated ferric oxide.

Did you know? Springs are often classified by the volume of the water they discharge. The largest springs are called “first-magnitude,” defined as springs that discharge water at a rate of at least 2800 liters or 100 cubic feet (2.8 m3) of water per second. Some locations contain many first-magnitude springs, such as Central Florida where there are 33 known to be that size.

Did you know? In 1938, the term “googol” was invented by Dr. Kasner’s nine-year-old nephew who was asked to think up a name for a very big number, namely 1 with one hundred zeroes after it. A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing or describing very large quantities. Edward Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics.
