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.

Escape Kitty's National Scrap Day Game and Celebration

Happy Scrapbook Day

The Flying Unicorns are playing all day long so come play too.  

I have a little game going on over there - so consider entering.  You can find MY game here 

What happens when you get a pack of alpha stickers and you don't have enough letters left to make the word you want?  GRRRRR.  Hate that! We all have packages of Alphabet Stickers sitting in our scrap stash with all the "good letters" missing.  Talk about frustrating?   What to do? 

 Well,  Kitty makes a  crazy game of it!

The rules? 

 (pretend you have those annoying alpha stickers in front of you.  once you have used a letter, it's gone from the pack.)

1. Make as many words as you can.

2. A letter can only be used once.  There are four letter "A" so you can only use "A" four times per game. 

3. Longer words score more points. 

4. Print out the "Alpha Sticker Sheet" so you can cross off the letters.  

5.  There are 50 letters to play with....use as many as possible

6.  You may only have three words with 2 letters.   Repeat - you cannot have more than three words using two letters.   I'll have to eliminate all two letter words once you have used up your three word limit. 

7.  Count up how many unused letters you have remaining and let me know.  Your total count between used and unused can only equal 50 - since that is all the letters you have. 

8.  You can play this game two times.

9.  Just post right here on this thread.

Scoring:  1 point for each letter used   (bigger is better hehehe)

2 letter words = 2 points......limited to three of these per game

3 letter words = 3points

4 letter words =4points

5letter words= 5 points

6 letter words = 6 points 

Example

CAT =3point

CATNIP = 6 points

Winners (announced at 3pm today)

Based on who has the most points and uses the most letters. 

In case of ties, a random drawing will be held. 

The Prize?????

Escape Kitty reveals the Flying Unicorn Kitty of the Month- May

Flying Unicorns Kitty of the Month for May....You guessed it.  It's purfect in every way and available each month here, well for as long as they last.  They sell out quickly.

This months kitty features Prima's Cartographer and 7Dots Natures Walk, plus so many more little gems, metal adornments, trims, stencils, mists, chipboard.  A lot of WOW.  Or  Kitty says "a lot of Mewow".  hehehe

Kitty used a few things to add texture - first the coolest Crafters Workshop Template comes in the Add-on kit.   You can see that in the little vertical lines around the page as well as some neat mesh.

My little darlin did get a little messy with her mists and stamping. 

Creative Embellishment Chipboard Photo Corners is seen up close below.  Simply inked and done.

Hurry and get our kit of the month while they last...but they never last long.
Thanks for stopping to visit Escape Kitty.

Escape Kitty's How does Hope Start?

Escape Kitty - How does hope start?  

How does hope start?  This is Escape Kitty trying to shake the cold dark winter and move into the warmth of the spring sunshine.  She's trying to find even the smallest patch of sunshine in the house to  nap.  You should see it - the patch of sunshine is big enough to fit her head.  It's quite a sight - but it's a hopeful sight and a great start.  Hope usually starts with a tiny bit of light. 

 What is your tiny bit of light?  

 Make your tiny bit of light grow by believing.

This was created using the Flying Unicorn kit for April -  April 2014 Your Passion Your Art kit
The kit spotlights 7Dots Cold Country Collection.  Cold Country yes....bitter cold, NO!  Bring on the pretty 7Dots and chase away the snow and drab from winter.

Here is  a piece from Escape Kitty.  Tis the season when she really wants to get outside. The darkness and cold of winter is leaving and the sun is staring to shine and warm up.  As you can see, Kitty is in transition, looking toward the sunshine and just waiting for the season to turn.

She'll spring into action then - guarding the door, waiting for an opportunity to sneak out and chase some butterflies or birds.

These are cute diecuts from 7Dots mixed with wood pieces from American Crafts -Studio Calico.
The kit also has a wonderful mask with leafy branches by Joggles.  I used for the background.

Escape Kitty's Ski Adventure - Flying Unicorns Kitty of the Month March

 Escape Kitty Welcomes you to the March Revel of the Kit of The Month.  As the snow continues to fall in our part of the world, Kitty decided to embrace it and pull the snow skis out.  She's got a darling little cap that fits her ears puuurfectly. Kitty is a tad bit late for the Olympics, missing the trials by just one catnap too long.

We are so excited to bring you our March 2014 Kit of the Month. 

The doily is just a generic wooden doily from a craft store.  I thought it was pretty so it came home with me.   

We punched a circle from the Authentique Classique Elegance Collection,  and wanted a little more decoration so we marked off a large circle with a pencil.  Then used the Prima Stencil and molding paste a little at a time till we moved around the space we marked.  Once dry, we rubbed some ink over the stenciling. 

Now I say "we" because Kitty is no help when it comes to inks and molding paste and delicate things.   Her furry paws simply don't know deliCATe. 

The snowflakes are from the Martha Stewart punches with ink added to the tips.

Get your kitty of the month here...March 2014 Kit of the Month.  This kitty goes quickly .  There are no monthly obligations.
