Squiggles' Dream
Today I'm here with another Art Journal Journey spread meant for Yvonne from Meggy's Way's theme which is A World of Fantasy.
Last month was all about Bleubeard when he helped host Art Journal Journey. June and July were all about Bleubeard and me making ICADs. Although Squiggles is not jealous, per se, he IS needy. That's why today we focus on Squiggles and his delusional dream.
"Squiggles delusional
dream after
sniffing catnip."
Squiggles in action.
This is what happened after sniffing catnip.
This 8.5 X 11 inch page was created using 110 lb card stock. I first laid down a stencil and colored it using three ink pads. Once those were in place, I grabbed several stamps and began stamping in the areas I left plain. Some of you will note, I added washi tape that covered the stencil Eileen sent me to celebrate our Anniversary T. More stamping ensued, then I took a photo of Squiggles and printed it to add to the page. Finally, I colored the sentiment first with the stencil, then used my shimmering mists and watercolor crayons, and finally I added the words to the page. Most of those stamps had never been used before, so I was happy that I had a chance to use them.
My sidekick Bleubeard and I are delighted you chose to join us today to honor Squiggles, and hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.

What a fun page, Squiggles must have had a great time with his catnip! Enjoy your day, Valerie
beautiful, and the kids make a beautiful focus
A fantastic page with so much to look at and admire Elizabeth. Just doing a catch-up and lots of great work to see here
Such awful weather in parts of the US so thinking of all there
Thank you for your comment on Jumbled Crafts
Love Chrissie xx
Brilliant fantastic fantasy project, love this.xx
Amazing page! I love the stencils and stamps that you used to create Squiggles dream 😀. The brightly coloured washi tape is perfect too! Happy weekend! J 😊 x
What a wonderful page - Squiggles catnips seem to be unique! I love all the lovely details - so beautiful Elizabeth!Another perfect entry linked to Yvonne's theme ! Thank you very much! Happy Sunday ! Big hugs, Susi
Oh Elizabeth I am loving seeing this page and how it is featuring Squiggles.
Cats are lovely to watch when they are sleeping and they seem to twitch their noses and move their limbs making you wonder about the dreams.
Now seeing this fabulous page you created for the Fantasy theme, I have an insight to the effects of Catnip [ I am grinning at this thought] .
I hope Squiggles and Bleubeard always have happy dreams.
Hope you have a good Sunday.
Yvonne xx
A harlequin stencil always adds impact, love that pop of colour from the bright strip. Looks like squiggles dream was a good one, probably dreaming of his time to shine at AJJ hee hee!!
Happy Sunday Hugs Tracey xx
Love all the colors and textures. One sniff makes him larger. One sniff makes him tall. And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Squiggles when he's ten feet tall. (Parody of White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane) Ink wasn't attracted to catnip.
This is amazing. I love this page!!!! I love the idea of a cat's delusional dream. :) This is a nice way to honor Squiggles for sure. happy Sunday! Hugs-Erika
A lovely page to honour Squiggles.
Have a lovely Sunday Elizabeth.
Looks like Squiggles knows how to party! Perhaps it's not delusional so much as ambitious ;) Squiggles has plans to dominate the internet, I'm sure, and we'd all be willing followers :)
Squiggles sniffing catnip. Ha!
This was a great piece.
Thanks for your concern. So far we're okay. Flash flood watch and wind alert. Could be worse:)
Very cute idea. Is he still wandering around the house delusional? xox
Squiggles definitely had one crazy dream. Too much catnip, clearly. :)
So funny! Annie loves catnip even more than Karma did. She probably has crazy dreams, too--LOL! ;)
Wualaaaaa, Squiggles mayo be very happy today !! ♥ that´s a wonderful page Elizabeth !! The stamps are very beautiful, as the stencils too, and the funny washi tape!! so cute quote !! Love all !!

A great fantasy page for sure!

Fun and great page, Elizabeth!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the inspiration, my friend.
I'd love to hang out inside your head sometime when you are coming up with something like this. It's a great page and a wonderful idea but how on earth did you even think of it? I wonder what they do dream... well, if Lizzie's are as colorful as Squiggles', no wonder she sleeps all the time!
Lucky Squiggle to have such a dream! Love this fun page! Hugs, Chrisx
