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: 
Isn't he just the CUTEST?!!?! He really loves his card:)
