Social Stamping - Animals


Hello and welcome to the weekly Social Stamping Blog Hop with so many talented crafters around the world joining in.
My friend Kelly Kent is the mastermind behind this and she put the group together to share our creations in a time where we are all social distancing and many are in isolation. It is a very unnerving time for a lot of people as some have medical issues and loved ones who are compromised and can not afford to get ill. Creating is my sanity at the moment as I am a pretty social person and not being able to meet friends just at the coffee shop or have a card class is really hard.

This week our social distancing has been relaxed a little with restaurants/ pubs allowed to open for up to 20 people at a time. I actually went out for dinner with a few mum friends on Thursday and it was wonderful! 

So here is the next theme that Kelly has set for us and it is "Animals"

You have hopped on over from the mastermind herself - Kelly

I just want to say a big congratulations to Kel for organising these hops. 
It certainly has kept a lot of us crafting and included. 
Last weeks sunshine theme had me bawling. Kelly made a really lovely comment about me on her page and not only has she been so kind but she has also sent my mum a beautiful gift and card as they have birthdays one day apart! I am so greatful for your friendship Kel and everything you do xx

Ok so enough soppy stuff here is my card for this week
I actually hadn't used this set and it will be retiring in about a weeks time.


Aren't these little fish super cute?
This is my motto at the moment "Just Keep Swimming"
I can't wait for a little bit more normal to be happening (I think it may be the lack of sports as they make a person feel good... so roll on netball season... eventually)

  • Stamps: Make a Splash
  • Ink: Memento, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Old Olive, Balmy Blue and Pacific Point
  • Card: Whisper White, Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight

  4. Great card and such a good life motto and particularly relevant for you at the moment! Nothing like imminent retirement to speed up the process of getting forgotten about stamp sets inky! Kelly x
