Welcome to Crazy for Cats Challenges Big Launch Party!
I LOVE CATS....enough said right, LOL!
As the saying goes..."you can never have too many cats", well that applies to Cat challenges too, you can never have enough challenges where you can enter your Cat themed projects to your hearts content all year long! Crazy for Cats Challenges is dedicated in loving memory to Sue EisenHauer, Ike's Art, who sadly passed away in April 2022.

NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY CATS
by Cat
Now for my first project to get the ball of yarn rolling and then you will see a new project here every day of the Cat Lovers Hop by my fellow Crazy Cat Lady Design Team members, Val and NanaConnie, too!
To make my pop-up box card I used Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up and Meadow Borders die sets, Tim Holtz Mischievous Halloween Cats die set and LeighSBDesigns Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz - Cats Galore Digi Stamp set.
