Welcome to the Be Inspired Hop, today we are sharing projects created with "Friendship" as our theme. I 'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has created! P lease be sure to hop all the way around for lots of inspirational projects created by the design team.  I thought the Biggest Wish Stamp Set was perfect for a friendship card and it arrived yesterday, just in time for me to create this card! Being a part of Stampin' Up! has opened up a world of friendships, it's like the days of pen pals only better! I hope that one day, when we can travel more freely, I'll get the opportunity to meet some of my Stampin' Up! friends, especially the ones on this team! I have been lucky enough to meet Tanya at a Stampin' Up! event but that seems so long ago! At least with technology we get to see and talk to one another so for now it's just a virtual hug! To create my card, I started by sketching a layout and choosing the You're a Peach Designer Series P...
