You make me happy

 

I want to first thank both Erika, who many of you know as BioArtGal and Valerie, who can be found at Bastelmania for hosting last month.  They did a fantastic job and picked up the slack when I could and did not.

Matilde from 100% Handmade/Craftowanie is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme for the entire month is What Makes You Happy.

You make me happy.  Details are below.




Everyone who has ever been to this blog knows Bleubeard is the face of our blog.  Poor Squiggles often gets left out.  When I found this cat that looked a bit like Squiggles, but without his cute pink nose, I had to create this spread.  The cat may not look exactly like Squiggles, but the sentiment is for him.  He is much different from Bleubeard, who is Mr. Social Butterfly.

I started by adhering a piece of blue 90 lb. cardstock that looked very much like the cat's eyes.  I computer generated the words, all truthful, then added the fussy cut cat and three hearts.
 
Matilde, Chris, Erika, Valerie, 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 What Makes You Happy.

  4. I think you've created a great page to start the month with my friend. I love that blue background because it really makes the face stand out. And your quote is poetry too-grin. Just was going to joke how you can't get past last month's theme-big smile. Seriously, this is a great start, and I hope to see more kitty pages as the month goes on. hugs-Erika

  5. So glad you mentioned Squiggles in your blog page. I often think of him when I visit your blog as much as I do about Bleubeard which is why you get three "x's" and not two like most people. One for you and one for each cat.
    Before I landed here on your page I had a feeling it would be 'cats' so was delighted to find a Squiggles look alike was there.

Your thoughts are very important to Bleubeard and me. I appreciate it when you care enough to stop by and even more when you leave a short message letting me know you were here.
