Hello and welcome to week two of our Christmas Came Early Challenge!
This challenge has a bit of a twist if you'd like to participate.
First and foremost...
Our current challenge is anything handmade that has a Christmas theme.
Our twist this week is that we are, for the last time, participating in the Cat Lovers Hop.
Janis passed away earlier this year and this one final Hop is a tribute to her. Art Impressions is one of only two or three companies that supported her Hop all 8 years. These prizes are NOT being given away as part of Art Impressions Challenge. You will be eligible to win a free stamp set of your choice if you win the Ai challenge. To win one of the 3 sets featured for the Cat Lovers Hop you must join in through them. Let's all HONOR Janis if you can, with one final cat themed card.

Though our challenge is a Christmas challenge, we would love it if you added a cat to your project to honor Janis. Here's the link to join in her memorial Hop and win lots of wonderful prizes.
Art Impressions has donated these three sets, and all you need to do is follow that link, and their instructions, to possibly win these sets and also some prizes from other companies.

Last week, Lynn kicked off our Christmas Came Early Challenge with this amazingly creative card in which she "re-thought" the 5183 – Christmas Kitty Flip Card set into a cat tree! You can view her video tutorial HERE.
And now, being week two of the challenge, we have the rest of the Design Team cards.
This "bonus cat" challenge was not mandatory so we'll start with those DT members that chose to participate.
First up, we have Nina who created an amazing slimline card featuring 5782 – Snowflake Frame Die,
5457 – Christmas Truck Set (for the tree and Gifts) and 5463 – Slimline Dies Set.
I used: 5785 – Gnomes Set, 4929 – Winter Window MTF, 5712 – Christmas Journal Paper Pack, 5324 – MB Cat Accessories, 5489 – Front Porch Christmas Set
The rest of the Design Team participated in the Christmas Came Early Challenge (minus the cat theme) and those cards are just as FUN!!
Mercy's final DT post used 5457 – Christmas Truck Set.
Janet used 5791 WC Snow Globe Set and 5353 – Large Snowflake Dies.
