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.

Flying Unicorn - Julie Nutting Doll Blog Hop





Welcome to the Grand Uni & Dolls bloghop party! 

If you have come from Delaina's blog then you are in the right place. If not then begin from the beginning at www.flyingunicornblog.com, because you do not want to miss a thing!


The Mayor of the Unicorns ( Alda Stevens)  has declared this day to be "Julie Nutting Day" and she has given Julie the key to the Unicorns heart...which just happens to be adorable Doll Stamps! 


Kitty has created a tag for a cause that is near and dear to Kitty's heart. 
Animal Rescue

Kitt'ys tag says "Passion, Love, Inspire...Rescue


Yes, believe it or not, Kitty is from the rescue shelter.  This proves you can find royalty at your local shelter.  Many of you already know this.
If you look at the bottom, you'll find a sweet little mini-kitty sitting with her rescue friends.  
In addition to Kitty, this tag features the Taylor doll stamp.  She's got a little sass in her step I believe.  Just like Kitty.
She is wearing the gorgeous Prima Stationer's Desk collection.  The background of the tag is also a Julie Nutting Tag pack.

I also used some wonderful chipboard pieces from 2Crafty. These are the ATC Words. I simply embossed them with gold embossing powder.


You can see the multiple layers in Taylor's skirt - helps show movement and provides dimension.  She's also wearing a smart wrap with leggings because she is busy walking and playing with her new friends. 


Want to win the doll I used or any of the other ones, the choice will be yours along with Time Traveler or Seashore collection paper pack by Prima. To be eligible all you have to do is:

Escape Kitty's Patriotic Look - From Authentique

Authentique Pride Collection NOW at Flying Unicorns - shop here

I adore patriotic colors and collections and the new Pride Collection has the look of vintage patriotism.  Here is a close-up of the great little tags and graphics that are part of this collection.  
(the hat pattern and simple instructions were from my pal Maggi Harding)


Here is a hat model - Escape Kitty looking rather proud and patriotic.  I think she's smiling - can't tell. 


I used some of the graphic circles and glued them to bamboo skewers to stick in my hat. 

No Yankee Doodle Dandy Hat can be complete without a feather in it. The feather is a reference to a popular American song, Yankee Doodle Dandy.   

 Yankee Doodle Dandy Song Kid's Version ( Popular American Song)
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni

Chorus:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
and with the girls be handy!
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
Chorus



Grab your Authentique collection while it's available and show your Pride. 

Thanks again Maggi!  Love the hat idea.

Escape Kitty stepping out in style - with Flying Unicorns June Kit

Escape Kitty

Escape Kitty thinks it's time to get fancy and dress up. And she'd be correct...

because the Flying Unicorn has released it's June's 2014 Your Passion. Your Art. It features the long awaited release of the newest collection from Riddersholm Designs Tailgate Marked !

So put on your hat and let Kitty show you what she's done with the kit....

It's so fitting that Kitty is surrounded with butterflies.    Nothing more fun than to sit outside and watch the butterflies flutter about.
Of course they  taunt and tease each other - Kitty trying to swipe a paw at them and the butterflies bombing  and buzzing past her head. It's quite a game to watch.    Yet in the end, the butterflies always win and flutter on their way to a flower or branch.

Kitty's garden retreat includes a water fountain (by Prima of course - Ingvild Bolme).  She loves to lap up the clean,fresh, cool water right from the fountain.  Sometimes she'll splash her paw in it.  The look on her face when the splash hits her nose is priceless.   If you have never seen a Kitty look surprised, well now that's quite an experience. 
Here are some side views to see the dimension of the butterflies. 

Kitty also used the most amazing and gorgeous metal dies from Prima Marketing as delicate accents to her page.  She has included a product list at the bottom on the post. 





Thanks for looking here and spending some time with my Kitty.
