Special Delivery

 

Today I'm joining Elle from Empire of the Cat, who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her themes are Books, Cats, Tea.  Today I used all three for the first time this month.

Bleubeard and I have named this Special Delivery.  We even have detail shots.



As I'm sure you can tell, this spread was created in my Cats altered book.  It started with a calendar page, to which I added the words and a tea bag I "hooked" over the flag on the mailbox.  The background was the book pages.

Thanks ever so much for joining Bleubeard and me today.  We are grateful you stopped by.  We also hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey.

Clever and very, very cute! Bet Eileen with Saturday Critters would love it, too! Why not join?

Now that would be really fun mail to get. That's a great photo. And I really like how you added the teabag hanging off the mail to go flap. (Not sure if that has a name or not.) That kitty has such a sweet expression too. This is perfect for Elle's challenge, and your kitty altered book must be coming along nicely. Have a great weekend my friend. hugs-Erika

Kitty altered book- what a fun idea! And a limited edition gray cat in the mailbox? Even more fun.

That's a beautiful kitty but I've actually popped back to explain what Henry the VIII actually did. It's a long story really but basically the Pope would not grant an annulment for his marriage to Kathrine of Aragon so he could marry Anne so he became the first monarch to introduce a new state religion to the country (Church of England) and it was then that he got rid of the catholic Monastries, friaries and convents but most churches and Cathedrals were expected to adopt the new religion. There's lots more to it than I can tell you here but hope that explains it a bit. Hugs Angela xxx

What a beautiful cat - that would be my favourite type of mail to receive if I had a mailbox - it would be difficult to squeeze the kitty through the letterbox in my front door lol. Well done incorporating all three elements in your page today. Thanks for joining me for the Books, Cats & Tea September theme at Art Journal Journey this month. Happy Journalling! Elle xx
