Wow, I have some of those " Butt Ugly" earings. I like the compass!! That foto is something. Great story. You are VERY creative & tell the story behind the LO. That's fabulous!!!Love your LO.
Fabulous LO and I love the story. Last year I went to a community yard sale with my sis. She was looking for stuff for her self and her home, I was looking for found objects for my scrapping! :-) Blessings http://gracescraps.blogspot.com/
Beautiful colors. Very Creative. Funny. Lovely Super Escape Kitty. Enjoyed the whole thing. I wish I had the gift of using "found objects". You have the EYE!
I love the fact that you recycle old jewelry, etc on your pages!!! And wow oh wow.. this page is awesome!!! Love your background paper and all the layers you've added on to make this so fantastic!! And your kitty is adorable!!!
OMG Jennifer!! Your story made me LOL!!!! Especially the "butt ugly earrings" HA!!! Escape kitty is very cute! I think you captured her perfectly! Having been in the re-enactment stuff, I would have called this one the Wyatt Earp kitty with the cowboy hat..ready for the gunfight at the OK Corral!! LOL...But escape kitty was perfect! Great Layout!
Wow!! Beautiful page!! Your LO is just gorgeous..Funny story! I would've done the same thing. If I have to choose between hungry friends or a tag sale? Maybe that's the reason why my friends don't call me often like they used to...
Fantabulous. Love it. EK does not look impressed with that hat, but the lo is so innovative and clever. What a great idea to use all those jumble sale finds. The pps, the distressing and the amazingly creative and engaging adventures of EK make this a fave for me.
I just love all the earthy colours and wonderful textures!! The photo is just too cute...lol!! Beautiful work again and what great treasures you found at the Church sale!!
Awesome!!! Escape kitty as super hero!!! I love how fixated she is on whatever she's looking at outside -- probably those darn birds she can't get to! Thanks for including your process -- the reeds, the earrings, etc. It is so fun to learn some of the ways people scrap. I can't believe how well those earrings work! So cool that you were able to work those in. As always, love your design, distressing, and fabulous Escape Kitty adventure!
great fun fun page..for a minute I thought he had his mexican hat on,,,but I was wrong...have the auzzie akubra hat ready for when kitty lands here...lol
Saga #16: This was made for a Swirlydoos challenge - you had to pick a super hero and explain, scrap and gab on about their powers, costume, villain, etc. We all know I have the gift of written gab.
Escape Kitty is my Superhero - of course. 1. Scrapped in her Superhero colors: brown and orange for her fur colors and green for the outdoors she loves.
2. Her location: she is sleeping in her Kitty Basket - which would be akin to her Batcave if she were Batman. This is her favorite resting place to think, plot, dream, watch the world and the perfect vantage point to break free as it is directly in front of a sliding glass door. A superhero needs a quick means of escape ya know.
3. The background shows where Kitty plans to travel - far far away lands all around the world
4. I have included her nemesis of sorts: The Dusty Attic birds. Birds taunt Escape Kitty all the time and mock her when she is stuck in the house.
5. The compass in the bottom is her tool she uses after she applies her Superhero powers of the quick escape. (I found the compass at a Church sale)
6. Hubby placed a cowboy hat on her to show what she is thinking, where she wants to go next. This is supposed to be like a thought bubble I guess. But Kitty does not wear a costume - she's a cat. No costume except a hat once in a while.
Gotta come clean. While I was searching for Escape Kitty in Colorado - posing to be at Swirlydoos Camp scrapping with the Swirly girls (back in saga #15), the Swirlygals sent me on an errand to get some groceries for dinner. I got a bit side tracked when I saw a church sale.
You've gotta understand! There were no scrapping stores around and I needed supplies so the church sale was gonna have to do. ( and I grabbed some cookies at the bake sale that the Swirly girls NEVER saw. shhhhhh. Why is it church sales have the BEST cookies?) I did get some stares of wonder when I returned with my next to new stash and assumed it was because I was bringing back junk, but now thinking, it could have been chocolate chip cookie mess all over my face. Hastily eating and all.
I guess I bought a few things at the church sale. That is where I found the compass in the LO. I also bought a ratty old basket, soaked it in water to soften the reeds or wood and flattened them out to dry. I also found some Colorado sticks and wrapped them together with twine.
The other garage sale find were those metal pieces on the top right . They are really butt ugly earrings. I had to pop them on because they are sooooo darn ugly, but show Kitty's feminine side.
I need to clarify - the butt ugly earrings came in a baggie with the compass. Apparantly the sweet 'lil ladies at thhe church thought they were doing me a favor by creating such a grab bag of goodies complete with triangle earrings. But heck, I used them. LisaN ( Raining) has the other pair of equally unattractive earrings that came in the grab bag. Go search out her extraordinary LO's to see where they show up - and YES, they will be appearing on a LO. She will make them look heavenly because she has that kind of gift! Get it? Church sale, heavenly? LOL - oh brother.
Dinner was a tad late because the errand girl got distracted. OK fine - I admit it now, I did not get lost, I shopped. :)
Thanks for looking. You know who to call if you need a superhero. Yeah, probably not me because I'd stop along the way at a yard sale or something.
