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.
The Creative Team is showcasing the new collections from Authentique . Kitty, being the mascot for the Creative Team and the only one home at the time the papers arrived in the mail, decided to grab up the papers and craft away.
We were sent the Seasons "Autumn" to play with and showcase. Kitty liked the papers because they have the same warm colors as her fur.
Kitty loves Autumn as well. She loves to chase the falling leaves and smell the crisp fresh air. Not much of a fan of the chilly weather, but is fine to sit out in the cool weather in small doses.
This is a photo of her sitting in some sunflowers -looking like the Queen of the Autumn Parade. Don't tell her otherwise.
Ahhhhh flowers she cannot eat for a change because they are wonderful Prima flowers.
The gold metal adornment is once again rubbed with Rub N Buff. I had to assist as Kitty refuses to get the Rub N Buff in her claws. She watches and directs but refuses to do the dirty messy work.
Here Kitty is in all her Autumn glory.
Come visit the Unicorns store today and pick up a pack before they are gone.
Easter is coming soon and Escape Kitty is pretty excited. She's made a few sweet friends and decided that hanging around in the Easter grass would be fun. Nothin like a giant over-sized chocolate rabbit...till she overheard something that startled her (not that she would ever eavesdrop).
"You say they eat the ears off first?"
Now for some reason, Kitty doesn't want to leave my warm safe comfy bed. My fearless Kitty.
These papers are the new Authentique "Hope" collection and are paired with ZVA Creative - great combo.
CRB-05CA-108 Soft Blue Crystal and Pearl is featured below on the left and CRX-05CB-140 Ice Blue Crystals/Soft Blue Pearl is below on the right.
Thanks for looking and peeking in on Kitty. Big question...do YOU eat the ears off first?

Scraps Of Darkness presents White Rabbit. It includes an artfully fun collection of papers that I have been drooling over since they came out. As with all Scraps Of Darkness kits, you can take this kit in any direction you want. That's how versatile it is. As you scroll through the designs of the Design team, you see how easily this kit can adapt to your scrappy mood and scrappy style. This kit pairs interesting papers with unique embellishments including the amazing stick pins handcrafted by Mandy Harrell. that can be found in the add-on.
Great! Now that we have the Blues Brothers to assist with some background atmosphere ( if you clicked on the link above), let's get with the story.
Kitty has broken free. No holding her back. Apparently she invited people over to have lunch on our deck via her Facebook page. She promised that if they simply opened the sliding glass doors to the deck, she'd serve them a fabulous tuna lunch with a cold lemonade. Lunch was indeed served, as Kitty promised. Kitty NEVER backs out of a promise!
But her guests are not used to her quick darting feline maneuvers. I am - they are not! That's why Kitty did not bother trying this escape routine on me. phew! An innocent lunch on the deck? Don't make me laugh.
An enjoyable lunch was had by all, dishes cleared and a delightful conversation was underway when someone asked what was taking Kitty so long to join the table chatter. UGH! The last thing the guests saw of Miss Kitty was a big old cowboy hat and two cowboy boots in a blur heading for the woods. A faint "Giddyup" was possibly heard.
Why only two boots when Kitty has four paws? Good question indeed - and it all comes down to comfort. Even Kitty knows the value of comfortable shoes/boots. She would not be able to sit comfortably with hind boots. Kitty is fashionable yet sensible. Two boots makes a statement just fine.
I did see a receipt for a second Cowboy hat purchase in a size that would fit Chena, Standard Poodle friend Chena, pet to Maggi Harding. Let's see if the pair meet up out west somewhere.
This design is based on the monthly sketch from Charlotte Jenkins, also known as suepup. She is a brilliant sketch artist and makes scrapping so much easier.
I used a few pieces of Dusty Attic here. Dusty Attic Christmas Tree #2 DA0648 and did a total smack down using some water, inks, mists and glues. I adapted the techniques of a few Dusty Attic greats to make my own tree. I used the tutorials of breaking apart the chippies and multiplying them by Irene Tan and creating a 3D tree by Natasha Naranjo Aguirre . It's great to be able to apply the knowledge of others and integrate it into your own creation. Thanks for the inspiration, oh great Dusty Ladies!
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Keep that Kitty movin'
Though I'm disapprovin',
Gotta meet the doggy Chena!
You really shouda seen 'eh,
Cowboy Hat and boots a blur,
Soon she'll be living high and wide.
Boy her heart's calculatin'
Her best freind will be waitin', be waiting at the end of her ride.
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!
Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide.
Full Lyrics
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide!
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep that Kitty rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for adventure
Soon enough Chena is by her side.
All the things she's missin',
Good vittles, rubs, and kissin',
is waiting for her home after her ride
CHORUS
Thanks Jake and Elwood! Much appreciated.
