 With all of the festive images I've been seeing I thought I'd join in with my own catmas card :-)
Here's what I did (CS3):
Shadow/Higlight adjustment
Color Efex Pro contrast color
Color Efex Pro Monday Morning
Color Efex Pro high Key
Unsharp Mask
Redfield SketchMaster, sketch; set to 62% opacity overlaying the Monday Morning layer (high key and usm off)
Brighten eyes and paint green, paint nose pink, and paint in smiling mouth
Add ornament to tail with a dropshadow
Add tree with a dropshadow
Add snowflakes
Adjust brightness and contrast
Add border
Make a flattened copy of everything and apply filter 'rough pastels', then set to 50% opacity

and here's the original
