Hello, everyone! If you like cats and Christmas, then October is your month! The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge starts today! Woot, woot! This is the purr-fect time to make Christmas cards for your cat-loving friends and relatives! See my first card below!

Hi dearest Kitty!!! I'm so glad to see you on blogger again! And with a wonderful card for remembering Janis!! Yay! I'm very happy for the organized Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge!! I have only some scraps of time as you know, because of my Mum problems, but I can't miss it! :)
The kitty you used in your card is delightful and seems also a bit mischievous :) Great colouring, love how you made the stripes of her fur and all the white details on her scarf and hat! Love the purple with the sparkling gold, too! And the design with the tag and that big bow looks wonderful!
About the questions you wrote in your comment on my blog: we all (humans and cats) are well enough, despite some heath problems. Hope the same with you and Bryan. I' seeing only now about Honeydew in your sidebar!!! Oh no!!!! So sad for him!!! And for you, dear friend!!! I can image how much you both suffered and miss him!!! We are never ready to loose our furry friends!
Sending you my biggest hugs and thoughts, dear Kitty!! Hope you could find some comfort remembering your days with him!
You are always in my prayers too!
Love

I'm all the more pleased that we're now reading about the Catlovers Christmas Challenge. Your card is again so adorable and I really like your choice of colors. I wish you all the best and send a hug!! Gundi x
Its sooooooo lovely to meet up with you again and to call in on your blog and to see you beautiful artwork. I'm so grateful for this! Your little kitty is absolutely adorable and your shading is as always spot on. I do love a bit of gold glitter and it sets your card off well. Take care and look forward to seeing more of your work :) xx

Hello Karen!
I'm so happy that this event is taking place in honour of our lovely Janis. Octobers just won't be the same without the Cat Lovers Hop, will they?
I am sad to hear about Honeydew, but certain that your memories of her will keep her alive in your heart.
Your kitty card is adorable - I love that startled, wide-eyed look on her face. The design is lovely and the sentiment is perfect. Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely kitty Christmas cards.
