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!

Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video
Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.
The photographer was incredible; I have to share some of her early shots with you. It was a quick trip but we were blessed to be there for the small ceremony. We had a wonderful time driving through the stunning park with the photographer scouting out photo opportunities. We're thrilled to add Katrina to our family!

Today I'm sharing the swap card I made for our Team card swap this month:
When I was planning my card for the swap I came across the card on the left below. It's one my friend Susie Wood made awhile ago. I loved the layout and cased it using the Caring Leaves set.
Casing a favorite card or layout is my go to when designing a new project. It's fun to switch up colors and products while using the same design.
I created a video that's posted below. I stamped the outline leaves on the large Pretty Peacock layer before embossing it with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I also stamped an extra leaf to fussy cut and add under the tag. See the measurements below.
Her colors include Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler. She added tons of leaves from the Changing Leaves dies. The embossing folder is the Leaf Fall 3D seen here.
The White background is stamped with a few small images, then ink is added lightly with a Blending Brush before it's textured. The cat, broom and stack of books are adorable!
She used the bubbles image to make her own background. The oozing slime and bubble die-cuts are the Old Olive glimmer paper. I love the White Deckled Circle die-cut behind the cauldron. It looks like a moon.
