Welcome back to Social Stamping with the theme of "Travel" As with all of Kelly's themes during Social Distancing there are many ways you can look at these themes. We were supposed to have a holiday in NZ at Easter but that was cancelled. Our son lives in Sydney and we were supposed to go and travel to see him but that is also cancelled for now.  but.....On the up side travel is now allowed within Qld so it seems we have a lot of family looking forward to travelling out of the South East Corner and heading up to Rockhampton to visit us in the next few weeks.

It was a big hit and I may have just convinced a few people that they NEED the Message in a Bottle set! I searched Pinterest (of course) but was unable to come up with too many cards made recently using current stamp sets so I just set about experimenting with the sets I have and I am really happy with the results.

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew  here This week we are using the samples from the Artistic Expressions section (which is another huge section) from pages 92-157. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  You may have arrived from the talented Julia ,  or you may be starting here -either way, take a tour and enjoy the inspiration.   But for this week I have had a bit of fun making shaker cards! I love blue card second from the left in this shot and thought it would be perfect for a shaker, and I also had some paper left from the Pretty Petals sta...
