Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

July 31, 2026

If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Easy Diagonal cards; Stamp With Me tonight at 7:30 pm!

July 13, 2020

This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live. With two a week there's a lot!

Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards. I love the two toned look of these In Colors together. When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!

Join me here tomorrow night. Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together!

I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.

Prized Peony bundle; wow!

July 10, 2020

Look at these gorgeous cards Mary and Karen made for a Flowerbug's Team swap last month. They both used items in the new Peony suite seen here.

Save

Mary's colors are Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam with Gray Granite. She sponged a bit of Petal Pink onto the Peony petals. The other products here are the new Vellum square doilies and Elegant Faceted Gems. that designer paper is from the In Good Taste package seen here.

Save

Karen used the Peony Garden designer paper as a background and the new Magenta Madness card stock with Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive for leaves. That pretty scalloped edge is included in the Peony dies.

You might think it's difficult to put the peony flower together, but Stampin' Up! made it super easy. It's just 4 die-cuts and they layer easily. You match up the bottom edge of each die-cut for a perfect fit each time. I made a video of it here on FB.
