Cat Nap

I don't know why people call short naps "cat naps." That was obviously a saying started by someone with no cats. Cats take looooooonnnnng naps. And those are just the kind I like taking myself!

Today is Wednesday and that means a new La-La Land Weekly Wednesday Challenge! This week's challenge is hosted by Maureen Wong, who challenged us to use at least three different embellishments on our cards/projects. I had to ask her if it was cheating that two of mine (paper flowers and button) were combined, and she said I'm a-okay. Whew!

The sweet image is Whiskers Sleeping. I colored Whiskers yellow for my BFF Lisa, whose own yellow cat Billy is nearing the end of a long and happy life. Just remember, Lis, the bluebird of happiness will watch over Billy forever!

The sketch is the first by sweet Jessica Diedrich's daughter Madelynn. Yep, there's another new challenge in town! Jessica is such a sweetie and on so many design teams it makes my head spin, but she does it all with good nature and flair. I'm in awe! So I just had to play in The Diedrich Dare. After I finished my card using the sketch, I realized that I couldn't actually post on time since the deadline was yesterday at noon and this card couldn't go live until today. But no worries! I still had fun and think it's an awesome sketch! I can't wait to see what they post as the new sketch today.

I'm telling you, whenever you feel stumped on where to start with a card, find a good sketch and off you go! And don't forget the embellishments!
