Jump for Joy

 

I'm joining Elle from Empire of the Cat, our host this month at Art Journal Journey Her theme is Books, Cats, and Tea. Today I am focusing on cats, because I have created this in my Cats altered book.

It's obvious, this adorable cat has decided to Jump for JOY.  Doesn't he have a special and beautiful face?  That means I will be able to join Nicole and her Friday Face Off later tonight.
 
A friend who doesn't have a blog sent me this card that I turned into a tag.  She suggested I should be able to use it in my art, so I have.  I also added the square clip and the fancy fibers from my stash. Check out the texture on the red background.

My friend Jackie from Junk Boat Travels sent me the card. I added the JOY sentiment from my stash.  Sorry this is so fuzzy.  I had lots of trouble getting it to focus, which it never did.

This spread came about because two very generous friends sent these images I was able to turn into Jump for JOY.  I had this amazing red textured paper I used for the background. 
 
Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey as you share your own interpretation of Books, Cats, and Tea. We also hope you will join us at Friday Face Off.

Very, very cute, also with the background-info where you got it all from!

Good thinking Elizabeth, and yes, he is an adorable cat. Lots of energy - maybe because he is young and fit. I wish I could leap about like that.
An adorable page.
Hugs, Neet xxx

What a fun cat photo. And your quote is perfect because that kitty must have been very happy to jump like that. I bet he is in play mode, silly guy. I like your tag too. This page made me smile this morning-thank you for that. :) I hope you're having a good week to date. hugs-Erika
