Where have I been? Well, for two weeks no where fun. I was....cleaning! Seriously, you may remember that we got all new heat and air in January. That included all new ducts upstairs, which also includes LOTS of plaster dust. I've wiped down every book (20 shelves worth) and taken everything out of closets and washed and put it all back.
Then last week, I was somewhere fun...in Savannah with Louisa! She's the most fun ever.
I also had some fun with these fabulous wreath turnabout stamps from Concord & 9th.
I made a video too!
The stamps are called "turnabout" because you turn the stamp a quarter turn and stamp it four times to get a complete wreath.
It has two different wreaths. This one is all filled in and quite pretty.
This wreath is more the traditional ring and is very versatile. On this card, you can also see a little peek at one of my new favorite stamp sets called Sophisticated Script.
Here's the video on how to make these cards:
All that cleaning hasn't bee fun, surely! :) But I'm glad to hear that you have spent time with the sweet baby Louisa! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are just delicious Lori, love the sweet colours of the wreath, the beautiful birds and the whole designs! I'm going to sleep now, (here it's night), but tomorrow I will return to enjoy your video, I always love seeing how you make your lovely creations!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love the pretty soft color palette and the beautiful birds! So fresh and fun!
ReplyDeleteThe turn around wreath set is at the top of my wishlist! Love the colors you used & everything you added to make these darling cards, Lori!
ReplyDeleteSo bright and cheerful. They're both delightful and the black and white twine is a nice contrast.
ReplyDeleteLove how you've used each of these fab turnabout stamps to create a different look to the wreath of these pretty spring cards. The scenes you've created using the different elements are so lovely, and I especially liked #2 with the folk art bird. The twine was a nice touch to embellish and pop these colors. TFS
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented, Lori - all your creations are just lovely!
