Who is Escape Kitty?

Let me introduce myself. I am Escape Kitty.

I got my start on Sept 1, 2010 as I was out playing in the yard enjoying the birds and squirrels. Really just minding my own business. Happy. Content. Daydreaming.

When, but in an instant, I caught a movement in the corner of my eye. Since cats are noted for their superior vision, I had to do a double take because I thought my eyesight had failed me. I shut my kitty eyes for a moment and reopened them to disbelief.

A coyote? In MY yard? Could it be? And he's drooling my way? Move move move! Find my mom . Run to safety.

Big mistake! Really big mistake. Now she never lets me outside. Done - left to dream. ahhhhh but Kitty dreams really do come true.

So come follow me! I am off to Escape.

Merry Christmas






Kitty and I wishing you and your family a  Merry Christmas, Joyful Holiday Season and Happy New Year.

Kitty promises to be a little less sassy in the new year (OK that's my wish - but since I am typing and she's not, I'm putting MY wish out there). 

See you all in the New Year.  May it be even brighter than 2012.

Scraps of Darkness Reveal - A Long December








Here is the wonderful Scraps of Darkness kit, Long December.  

This kit is full of coolness ( as in winter chill) to complement those snowy shots you'll want to take as the snow piles up.  If you live in a place that is having summer or nice weather, then you'll want use this kit to show off your amazing photos of sunshine to show the rest of us what we are missing.  Because that's what friends do for each other.  LOL.

This month's kit featured some absolutely fun and unique items including the popular handcrafted stick pins made by Mandy Harrell , craftysprinkles.   These pins are exclusively found in Scraps Of Darkness Kits.

Escape Kitty - Santa Kitty
Here is Kitty, to help you get in the spirit of the season.  Actually Kitty is trying to tell me she is expecting some new toys for Christmas, maybe a bird or two to fill her cage is empty, and loads of joy for the new year.  

What do you want this year? 

Escape Kitty wishes that all your dreams, hopes and joys come true at Christmas and in the new year. 

This design was using the monthly kit sketch by Charlotte Jenkins.  Give it a try. She is very talented.  You can find the sketch at Scraps of Darkness.

Kitty's jazzed this up a bit by adding some wonderful blingy jewels by ZVA in smoke color.  ZVA-CRW-05CB-148.


The bird cage is DustyAttic Birdcage #5 DA0678 and I coated it with Stampendous Aged Enamel in Gold.

She'll have someone randomly draw 3 names from those that have left comments in one or more of the photos and have followed the directions.   This is open to anyone: family, scrappers, non scrappers, your pup, your best friend, your best friends pup.  You get the picture!  This is not a scrapper event - this is for everyone.  Each person will need to create a photobucket acct.

2nd Prize Winner...$25  gift card (on-line store of your choice or paypal acct )

3rd prize Winner....$25  gift card(on-line store of your choice or paypal acct )

 Here are her stories:

*******************************************************************


How to win?  What do YOU have to do to have a chance at winning?  
First let me state that you do not need a Facebook acct to play!  This has nothing to do with Facebook.   So many people have emailed me back to say they cannot play along because they do not have a Facebook acct.  No problem!  Don't need one. 

You do, however need a photobucket acct.

The Rules
1. You need to have a photobucket acct - Don't have one?  Then it's time to get one.  VERY easy to start and free.  Even though it says log in through Facebook, you cannot unless you have a photobucket acct first.  You do NOT need to log in through Facebook - I never do.    But you must set up a photobucket acct. 

2. Click on the link and "LIKE" her. This is a MUST.  The "LIKE" button is located at the top of the page to the right hand side.

3. Make a comment in a photo by clicking on any photo you'll see my little face under each photo...look to the right of my little face.  You'll see a comment symbol.  Open that up and type a few kind words for Kitty.  The more photos you comment on, the better your chances.  I will be selecting my 3 winners from the comments. 

4.  Forward to Facebook (if you have an acct) or forward to a friend using email.  The FORWARD to Facebook and email buttons are located at the top of the page and to the right.  They are symbols.
If you post this to your Facebook acct or forward to someone by email, let me know by adding a comment in this blog post and you will earn another chance at the prize.  These options are found at the top right hand screen once you are in the story.

5. Come back on Dec15th to see if Kitty  and you are winners. I'll be posting the winners using your photobucket name so please remember this.  You will have seven days to contact me otherwise new names will be posted.

Here's the deal....the more you forward, LIKE and comment, the more points Kitty gets for judging.  She wins, YOU may win too.

( Special thanks to Maggi Harding who has let me use Chena in this contest as to Lynne Joncas for letting me use Pirate Squirrel in the Pirate Adventure)

Contest closes December 9th so hurry and get your comments in!!!! Kitty needs to win the GRAND prize so please keep that in mind.

Kitty's Reveal:   Arctic Snow Kitty
This was based on the sketch for the month of December, prepared by Charlotte Jenkins. 



This is Escape Kitty in her alpine ski outfit.  The Bo Bunny papers came, I got home from work and found Kitty all decked out with skis and hat.  Makes me chuckle because Kitty does not like snow.  I've tossed her out in the snow before and she gave me "the look".  In addition to "the look", she was also very expressive and vocal.  When she finally came back inside, I felt her chill.  It was not due to the temperature in the room either.  It was all from attitude. Brrrrrrrrr cold cat!

So I am definitely thinking the snow hat and skis are just ploys to escape to a warmer climate.  not gonna happen babydoll. She does look cute.



Thanks for looking at my art work.  Copyright 2012 Escape Kitty by Jennifer Snyder
