Just a quick update on Nico, he went to the vets last night for his post-op check & everything is wonderful, thankfully no need to go back, unless there's a problem. Yay as far as I can see he hasn't even touched it, don't think he can actually get to it cus he's so fat! lol!

Anyhoos back to my DT card for Try Stampin'. I decided to use both the sketch & theme this week, it was really hard not using a stamped image but I managed it. Not sure I like it though, doesn't look anywhere near as good as it did in my head lol!!
