Start-to-Finish with Savannah & Olsen

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today I'm sharing a card that I created from start-to-finish using a couple of my Paper Smooches stamps and dies.

There are a couple of great things about this video: 

1. Olsen- he needed a card to give to Trav's parents... so he's my inspiration
2. My commentary- yup! I tried my hand at commentary (or voiceover on this video!)! I didn't want you to sit and listen to just music...so I kept talking:) 
3. The pictures- you have to wait until the end, but Olsen's pics are just tooooooo cute! 

Here's the video:

Here are some pictures of my card and Olsen: 

Paper Smooches stamps: Chit Chat, Woofers & Tweeters, Kinfolk, and Many Thanks; Paper Smooches dies: Hot Spot SM1
