[New post] My Mother Got Stuck in an Elevator!

New post on Lake Superior Spirit My Mother Got Stuck in an Elevator! by Kathy Ohmygosh, Blogging Friends, Big News! My mother, my sweet mother, the mother you've all met & heard about, just got stuck in an elevator in her condominium in Fort Myers Beach! She just called with the exciting news!

New post on Lake Superior Spirit We’re going to Marrakech, Morocco, readers! (We think, we hope, you never know…) by Kathy (Ladies and gentlemen, blogging friends, I must admit writing this blog yesterday afternoon in the middle of another day-long snowstorm which dumped--at least--another foot of snow upon our Little House in the Woods.  Hence, this post smacks of Cabin Fever.

[New post] Ladies & Gentlemen, dear readers, Sadly I must decline…

New post on Lake Superior Spirit Ladies & Gentlemen, dear readers, Sadly I must decline… by Kathy I have been meaning to write this post for many moons. Unfortunately, it hasn't been clear how to proceed. (It isn't any clearer right now, but I figure if I start typing something might arise.) Several wonderful inspiring bloggers in blog-land have gifted me with some blog awards in the last few years.  The Kreativ Blogger [...] Read more of this post Kathy | March 3, 2012 at 8:38 am | Tags: blog, blogging, blogging awards, friends, humor, Kreativ Blogger, life, personal, photography, thoughts, Versatile Blogger, writing | Categories: March 2012 | URL: http://wp.me/pKZFx-1VO Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

[New post] Anatomy of a Snowstorm

New post on Lake Superior Spirit Anatomy of a Snowstorm by Kathy Do you remember Wednesday--was it only the day before yesterday?--when we paused and waited for the snowstorm to arrive?  We pondered:  Storm, wherefore art thou? The storm listened, and duly arrived mid to late morning.  He blew up from the south in blizzarding fury, wind howling, shaking us back to deep winter, daring us to [...] Read more of this post Kathy | March 2, 2012 at 8:14 am | Tags: Anatomy of a Murder, humor, John Voelker, photography, photos, snow, snowstorm, The Daily Click, winter | Categories: March 2012 | URL: http://wp.me/pKZFx-1Vt Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Diva's Favorite Cartridge Spotlight #3

Hi Everyone,

 It's Pat from Pat's Scraps, and I'm happy to be at Die Cuttin' Divas today to spotlight one of my favorite Cricut cartridges, Forever Young!

As you can see, this cart has 20 silhouette models in different outfits, lots of images of girly stuff, great phrases, and flowers. And you can also make some 3-D items. There are four different styles of purses available on this cart!! The creative features include: Layer, Emblem, Tag, Word, Purse, and Shadow.

Let me show you what I've made with this cartridge.

A birthday card for my young adult niece.

 These little 3x3 note cards were made for a friend's birthday (aren't these cuts just the cutest?!?).

They fit perfectly into this!

This is one of the 3-D purses you can make. It was easy to put together.

Two different pairs of shoes are found on pg. 54 and pg. 60.

More shoes, only cut a bit larger!

These silhouette heads were cut using the Emblem creative feature. I actually used the cut-out image and adhered it to cardstock I cut with an oval punch.

This card really shows the nice lettering that's available on the cart. Other words include: style, chic, glamorous, attitude, glam, trendy, style, vintage, gorgeous, glitz, vogue, and many more!

If you don't have Forever Young, you might think about adding it to your collection.

Glad you stopped by today. There's still time to enter this week's challenge which is to use:
 Fabric, Feathers, and/or Flowers

[New post] “And I thought you were JUST a housewife from Michigan!”

New post on Lake Superior Spirit “And I thought you were JUST a housewife from Michigan!” by Kathy OK, OK, you gleaned the truth from that title, didn't you? There is a tiny part of me--just a tiny part--that still, after all these years, feels insignificant.  As a creative blogger, I am still trying to soothe the indignant inner housewife who is still, yes STILL, upset that I was once labeled as "just [...] Read more of this post Kathy | March 1, 2012 at 7:33 am | Tags: blog, family, inspiration, life, musings, personal, spirituality, thoughts, writing | Categories: February 2012 | URL: http://wp.me/pKZFx-1V0 Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
