Stop and smell the flowers
I'm once again joining Jo at Let's Art Journal, our host this month at Art Journal Journey whose theme is flora and fauna. Because it fits their flower theme, I'm also joining the challenge at Moo-Mania & More. And because I used a die cut, I'm also joining Try it on Tuesday, whose theme is stencils, die cuts, or both.
This adorable friend of Bleubeard's is asking us to
stop and smell the flowers.
I created this page in my Challenges altered book. I first laid down some yellow copier/printer paper, then added the focal image, the die cut oval, and the strip of paper that matched the oval. Because the paper is double sided, I used part of the back side to create the sentiment I printed using a white gel pen.
Thank you for sharing time with me today where you will also find me at Art Journal Journey, Try it on Tuesday, and Moo-Mania & More. I hope to see you at these challenges, too.

Wonderful journal page. My Kitty used to love smelling flowers. Have a nice weekend, Valerie
A kitty is always so sweet and you made a sweet journal page this way.
Have nice weekend. For us it's mothersday this sunday (the Netherlands).
Wonderful page! I'm loving the yellow and purple colour combination and that's such a cute kitten; your quote made me smile too, it matches the image perfectly 😁. Thanks so much for linking this lovely page to Try it on Tuesday and also joining in the fun at AJJ again! Happy weekend! J 😊 x
This is sooo cute! The lilac flower is almost as big as the cat's head, and the quote fits perfect for this adorable picture! The dotted paper matches also beautifully! Bleubeard must be happy with such a pretty friend :)
Wish you a great weekend, dear Elizabeth!

Bluebeard has such lovely taste in friends, because this pic is just so adorable. And the message is clear and so true. I like the idea of that white gel pen too. Happy Saturday and Hugs...RO
Such a cute page. Makes one want to stop and cuddle the kitties, too.
aww thats such a sweet image Elizabeth and lovely quote.
And your cute kitty has reminded me of a photo I was lucky to have got at the right time of a baby squirrel holding a flower that he'd bent over, like he was smelling it... and maybe he was :)
Have a great weekend.

What a sweet picture and a lovely page!
You can't go wrong with a sweet kitten, can you, Elizabeth. And all kittens are so sweet - and they know it. You've made a very pretty page for the kitty.
I'm glad Bleubeard has a little friend (friends are so important) and I appreciate kitty's message, one must stop and enjoy one's garden as well as tending it. I'll remember that.
So cute and adorable
Oh my gosh, how sweet!
Enjoy your weekend;)
Oh how sweet is this, just look at that cute little expression. Fabulous quote, one we should all take heed to do every morning we wake. Happy days Tracey xx
This is so cute Elizabeth and fits all the challenges very well
Have a great day
Love Chrissien xx
Oh Elizabeth! Such good advice and a wonderful way to illustrate it! Also Thank you so much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday! Chrisx
This page is just adorable. Kitties are definitely good thoughts on a beautiful spring day. Of course knowing lots of kitties they would try to eat the flowers, wouldn't they? :) Nice page...I really enjoyed it. Hope you are having a beautiful weekend-the keyboard is working and the sun is out, but not too hot. Hugs-Erika
What a welcoming invitation! I'd be glad to join that precious kitten and enjoy those delightful flowers. Thx :)
Aww, that's a very sweet page, Elizabeth. The kitty is adorable. The quote is one I have to remind myself of frequently.
Thank you for your comment, Mother's Day wishes and the tip about free image sites in your sidebar. I will check them out and see if any should be on my list.
Happy Sunday! Eileen
This little kitten looks so sweet. We had a cat who loved lying in the flower beds. In fact we think she waited until they were bloom for her to lie in.
