By now it's no secret Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month,where my theme is Count your blessings,
and today we are once again being blessed by family.
I have a great amount of love for my family, which are 
two fur babies, Bleubeard and Squiggles.
This cat doesn't look as happy as my two do, but at least it is more willing to allow me
to take its photo.
This photo is closer to the actual colors of the page than those showing the detail shots. For this page, I began with a sheet of white 110 lb card stock to which I added a sheet of green/turquoise gossamer fabric. I colored two different white doilies and a white heart doily with green/turquoise ink. I added a strip of white and silver ribbon I also colored. Then I added the decorative camera brad and the word "Family." Finally, I added the cat that I found in an old Dover book on animals that was probably published in the late 1990s or early 2000s.Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us today where we pointed out that family is a blessing. Please also join us at Art Journal Journey where my theme this month is Count your blessings.

Beautiful page. My cat always loved lace because she could tear it apart with her claws! Have a great day, Valerie
Lovely addition of the camera brad/button. Family means different things to each of us and as an animal lover I understand completely why they are part of yours. Great companions and i'm so glad yours look happier than the one used in the page hee hee! Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend hugs Tracey xx
Lovely post with your fur babies. Had to laugh at Valeries comment re her cat and the lace. Cute.
Sad to lose a friend with cancer, my SIL has just had her second breast off and it's not healing as it should. Seems the older one gets the harder it is to heal...
Love visiting your blog...hugs.x
Ahhh, I can relate to this with my treasured two kitties. It’s lovely, Elizabeth! Re my tutorial on eco printing, you should be fine with a stainless pot. That is actually most often recommended, I just happened to have the aluminum one, and I’m happy using it. Go for it!
This is very pretty. And what a nice tribute to your co-host this month and also to Squiggles. The color is great. I am a blue and green lady so it really appeals to me. And add those lace hearts is very nice symbolisms. Family is a big blessing, no matter who or what you family is comprised of. Hugs-Erika
Cute page. Ink didn't really like having his picture taken. Just when you'd get the shot lined up, he'd turn his head. :-D
What a lovely page Elizabeth! You are happy to have a wonderful fur babies family! I am sure there is normally a lot less trouble with this kind of family as with kids and partners of human shape...lol! I love the fantastic background and lovely details you added.... simply beautiful! A wonderful COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS page! You rock your amazing theme!
Have a great weekend!
I was busy again - I >am< busy again ....
my gosh.. I think it will turn much better in September, when daughter is at school again.
But otherwise ??? This will be a hard year at school again as she has her graduation exam year - and I think it will become exciting...I know my girl ....lol.
Much love for you and hugs for the boys!

Families are a blessing, and appreciating our families is a double blessing. What a pretty grouping you made!
Purrfect! I love it.
I can really relate to the love you have for your two fur babies. Many animals have blessed and given love in our family over the years, mainly dogs but we were lucky to have a very protective cat as well.
I absolutely love this page, the lace and the pretty doily give it a soft look, the feeling of a family living in harmony together,

A beautiful page honouring your boys. That is a great image, and it reminds me of a rubber stamp I had years ago. It was so hard to get a good image from!

Family is such a blessing and your two boys are such good company for you! I love that image and the way you have teamed it with such beautiful colours and texture! Hugs, Chrisx
Of COURSE family is a cat! Mine, too. I love the concept of family and blessings and incorporating your special ones.
Such a wonderful page! Because I am a late comer, I guess i did not know about Squiggles! I love that name!
