Such cute flowers and yet another use for those small postal stamps and strips of book pages and papers we have on hand. I am thinking of all those other small stamps I could use as well.
Thank you, Sheila! Yes, I often don't do enough stamping in my journals so I like projects that remind me to use them, and I do love them - they are my big weakness when it comes to buying craft supplies, that's for sure. Thanks for watching.
I love ❤ it. I have made a cone flower 🌼 much like this using scrap patterned paper. Same petal shape, but with hump/bump center. I never thought of keeping the petals loose for the 3D look. Brilliant idea 💡. I can't wait to give this a try.😊❤.
So glad you liked the flowers! We used to have relatives in Grand Island and went there occasionally. Grand Island, Omaha, and Lincoln, oh my - each one seemed like a huge metropolis to us! Thanks for watching!
@@carriecame My mom used to teach school in Edgar, near Hastings, back in the late 1930s. A one-room schoolhouse, just like Little House on the Prairie days!
Wonderful project! Here in NH, 8" of snow, freezing rain and ice for the next 24 hrs. 🎉 FYI , I was told by a Stamping Up rep to store my ink pads face down to keep them from drying out. I've had mine for a long time and not dried out yet.
Oh, my, I'm so sorry about your bad weather - and hope lovely spring finds you soon. I know when we lived in Western NY state for 15 years, March was often our snowiest month, and we could never count on consistently nice weather until Mother's Day! Thanks for the tip on storing ink pads - that makes ALL kinds of sense! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Suzy! I know it's been a big dose of springy things lately, but the ideas just keep coming! Thanks so much for watching, you really make me want to keep this thing going!
Greetings from Nebraska! Got a kick out of your reference to city names- or words in general for me. Can’t resist shouting Wahooo!😜 when driving past the sign. Loved your whimsical cone flower. Thanks for the inspiration. 💕
Hello, fellow Nebraskan! So glad to hear from you! I can't believe I accidentally called the town "Yahoo" first - glad I quickly remembered its proper fun-to-say name! I also talked a lot about Nebraska in a video I did in late January about grunge techniques in journals - I think the title was "I might need a Kleenex for this one!" So glad you tuned in, and thank you!
These are adorable!!! Another great idea for all those scrap strips!! My scrap strips are so beautiful, too!!! I think I'm going to try some playing cards too! I'm going to make these!!! TFS!! Austin TX USA
Yes, any sort of scrap strips would be perfect for these - and varying the background would make each one look totally different. Have fun, Barbara! Thanks for watching!
Oh, the number of people who yelled at me over those bird legs!!!!!!! Robin, I'm so glad you made the birds as well - and with your name, you have the credentials to make bird legs any way you wish to! Thanks so much for watching!
PS it was when I went to check the links that I realized I was on the wrong video. I still don’t know how I ended up on the other video! 😮❤ PS Aha! I had to hop back here to say I figured it out! When I tapped “more” to see about the link, I touched the hyperlink instead. The thumbnails are rather similar at some point … brown paper and “Hi! it’s Anne” starts to play. Yep. I know how now brown … paper … 😂. But I read the “more” details there and voila! Boo-boo discovered. Ya-ba-daba-do! A little dab ‘l do ya. 😂 😂😂😂😂❤
Jenn, if the worst thing that happens to us today is that you landed in various scrolling spots on my channel, I think we both got off easy! I'm glad to get your comments wherever they happen to be!
OH MY GOSH!!! I cannot believe I somehow ended up typing the below comment on the weather gram video!! How in the world?!!! Ha😂 scrolling? Huh? … here’s my select all|cut and go to correct video paste comment!! Ok. Laugh good with that!! I’m glad I noticed. Had me bewildered for a bit though!😂😂😂😂 I watched this on my tablet earlier this morning, just slow to comment. I don’t like typing on the tablet. Not even the phone’s small keyboard, but it is easier to hold! So, I grab the phone to comment and end up scrolling. Ugh! I’ve laid the phone down and picked it back up in order to comment and yeah, laid it back down!! Scrolling!! 😂 What would my comment be without some piece of story to it?! 😂 I really like this idea!! As others you do, of course. Strips of paper! Who knew! I will have to look up the vid about the wax paper. I think you might have linked it. I was so enjoying your video the other day about the amazing gift of books and the background. I got interrupted and, you guessed it, I end up scrolling instead of returning to it ! I will have to start it over for full context of the background! A very nice remembrance of, George? Was it? It’s been a few days. Add another project to try. I have finally tried the birds w strips. I did the painting of flowers. And others you’ve demonstrated. Some I need practice! Ok. Bye! 😂 (story behind that line.). ❤❤❤ TFS
Jenn, I've had fun piecing together all your comments - I always enjoy the chat! I finished the special keepsake journal for Marilyn and Dan, and put quite a bit more in it from what you saw - I actually gave it to her just this afternoon. I'm so glad I did it - it was such an honor to work with those precious books.
@@annekenlon a Jenn-a-gram puzzle! Was a challenge of sorts to see what I’d done! I will get back to the video about the books. What a nice gift! Did you do a flip through? Did I miss it? I’m watching someone new and see a cute idea. I don’t know how to get it to you other than IG. I enjoy words! Very much! And story-telling! Aka sometimes as rambling. Entertaining is how a few have described me in person. Complement? Better than verbose! 😉 so glad you enjoy my texts. It encourages me ya know!😉❤️
@@jennr7500 I did a tiny bit of a flip-through of the George/Flora tribute book. After I finished the video, I did add quite a bit more stuff to it, and the family was thrilled when I gave it to them yesterday. It was such an honor to work on it.
Thanks, Karen! I got the glue pin in Etsy. Lots of folks make them. You can search “glue bottle stopper” and get lots of options. I like it because it doesn’t get lost on my desk (usually!) Thanks for watching!
Karen, it occurred to me that I did talk specifically about the glue pin in a previous video I did on craft gift ideas. If you'd like to see more, you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RrDxx88AK3U.htmlsi=cEfWech_7mNO0GMt
Thanks so much, Susan! These were inexpensive finds online - not even a brand name! But if you do a search for "postmark clear stamps" on Amazon, these will pop up. I think the set was less than $7. There are quite a few stamp sets of this genre that are easily available. I liked the variety here - the cancellation wavy-line one, the little triangle, and of course Kalamazoo! I'm sure you can find similar ones on other online shopping platforms if you prefer. Amazon is just the one I always use, for convenience. Thanks for watching!
