Escape Kitty's Scrappy Adventures: Donna Salazar

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.

And a chance for Miss Kitty's prize if you "LIKE" her on Facebook:

Here is Kitty's design using the wonderful Dona Salazar papers.

Wishing

This is called Wishing. Escape Kitty is sitting near a dandelion making her wish before she blows the wish to the wind where she hopes it will scatter, take seed and grow. I think you know what her wish is. ESCAPE!

I put a resin wishing well in her layout because I know that Kitty's well of wishes never dries out.

The photo was really a lucky catch. I was sitting outside in the grass babysitting Miss Kitty while she was enjoying the sunshine. I try to take her out daily after work for a little bit and have even paid a baby sitter to take her outside and supervise. While I was sitting in the grass, I noticed just one dandelion. Horror of horrors! So I went over to snap a photo and Kitty comes rushing up to it the exact moment my shutter clicked. I kid you not- Kitty has impeccable timing, as always I guess.

Escape Kitty -Friends Come In All Shapes and Sizes- Scraps Of Elegance Reveal

Welcome to the Scraps of Elegance June Reveal. This is called Country Charm and indeed it is.

This kit features the gorgeous new paper line from Donna Salazar, tons of Prima flowers and embellishments and Fabscraps papers. It is perfect for your summer layouts, but if you are heading into Winter ( I am sorry for you), you can absolutely make these cold and crisp as well. That's real versatility.

We are also celebrating with a blog hop as well, June 2-4. Please join us for prizes and fun. The blog hop will start here.

Friends Come in All Shapes and Sizes

Now what is Miss Kitty doing here? Looks like she is meeting a new friend. They are sitting on a little island made for two and simply chatting the day away. Kitty knows that friends come in all shapes and sizes. Kitty has made some unique friends and is always trying to add to her list. She has a way of finding the beauty in everyone.

If you want to see a list of Kitty's ever-growing list of friends, go visit her Episodes page.

This photo was captured by Helen Dunn. She catches the most amazing bird photos I have seen. Surely Helen walks with the grace and lightness reserved for Escape Kitty and the dainty few. She can sneak up on any bird and snap away like few others can.

I used the Dusty Attic Grass Border #1 DA0659. I painted it with Adirondack paint in Sandal color and a little Ingvild Bolme Rust Bucket ink that came in the main Scraps Of Elegance kit ( a wonderful little surprise indeed). Then I topped the flower part with Flower Soft.

I also used the Donna Salazar Vine stamp with a combo of a few different Clearsnap Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx in honey and also leather colors. These inks or inx are simply rich, lush and amazing.
