Cats Sleep Anywhere

     Today I have the honor of being a Guest Designer for the Songs and Rhymes Challenge at The Outlawz.  Each challenge runs for two weeks and uses song lyrics or a poem as the theme for each challenge.  The challenge starting today is using this delightful poem which is all about cats - right up my alley!

Cats Sleep, Anywhere - Eleanor Farjeon

Cats sleep, anywhere,
Any table, any chair
Top of piano, window-ledge,
In the middle, on the edge,
Open drawer, empty shoe,
Anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box,
In the cupboard, with your frocks-
Anywhere! They don't care!
Cats sleep anywhere.

     The sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Stamps and I've merged two Bugaboo images to make this card.


Colored w ProMarkers
Cut w QuicKutz die & edges inked
Paper is a DCWV scrap, embossed
Blue CS embossed w Swiss Dots EF
Hand-tied, gingham bow

     Challenges:

     I hope you'll come and play with us in this challenge.  Not a member of The Outlawz?  It's quick and easy to join, and it's free!         :-D  

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

How cute, Connie! My kitty is particular, and only sleeps in her referred locations. The kitties on your darling card are much more adventuresome, enjoying surprising their "owners". The watercoloring on the bottom is outstanding. I especially like the little bird sneaking her drink, unobserved by the almost napping kitties! hugs, de

Oh so cute. Awesome card and using the Bugaboo image, perfect sentiment. So glad you shared over at Aud Sentiments (and Catch the bug, Crafty Sentiments) Your side bar of your kittens look so cute.. I can see why you'd like this image.
