Hello and welcome to the Social Stamping Blog Host with a whole group of talented crafters joining in from around the world.
The group was put together by my lovely friend and fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Kelly Kent for us to share our creations at a time where we are social distancing and many are in isolation.
You may have arrived from seeing Chantell Randall's gorgeous creation but if you started here, click the 'Next' button at the bottom of this post to continue hopping.
The theme that Kelly has chosen for us this week is 'Friend'. Friendship is more important than ever during this time in isolation and I am so thankful for the wonderful network of friends I have through my love of crafting.
For my card I decided to Case myself.
This is a card which I designed last November when I had the honour to present the Peaceful Poppies Suite at OnStage Local in Perth.
