While the Cat’s Away Day 2: Madeleine
Filed under Cat's Away... 2014, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters, Sale, Teri Calia, Valentine's Day
Hey, it’s Day 2 of the While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today’s theme is Madeleine. With a bonus ’cause Teri Calia created some adorable Valentine Candy Boxes with this kit!
Look how sweet those miniature candy boxes are! All those papers came from the New Madeleine 12×12 Collection Pack: A big set that includes 18 double-sided 12″ x 12″ papers (2 each of 9 sheets) and a sheet of cardstock sheets. Roses, birds, damask patterns, frames… and I particularly like the mint green as a contrast to all the pink and burgundy colors.
Teri used the New Layered Scalloped Chipboard Hearts to create the standing frames for the lovely ladies from the La Belle Epoque Collage Sheet, perched atop New 3 Inch Paper Mache Heart Boxes. (And note: all these items I’m highlighting are in the Madeleine Kit and have also just been put on sale as separate items!)
And you can see from both photos that there is a flurry of beautiful flowers in the kit:
– New Teastained Dahlias – Red Raspberry
– New Petite Teastained Pink Pansies and Leaves
– Pink Mulberry Paper Carnations
– White Foam Stamen
This kit includes 3 collage sheets, that have just been put On Sale, too:
– La Belle Epoque Collage Sheet
– Bird Words Collage Sheet
– Valentine Banners Collage Sheet (this was isn’t used in Teri’s artwork but I think the colors work great!)
See the Madeleine Kit page for a detailed list of all the items (or see the photos below for highlights of quite a few).
AND here’s a link to Teri’s full Supply List (yes, she used a few items not in today’s kit)… and see more photos of the Valentine Candy Boxes on Teri’s blog.
Here’s how these While the Cat’s Away DAILY Sales and Giveaways work: I’ve gathered items around a theme and put together a Giveaway Kit that will be awarded to one lucky person.
To enter the Madeleine Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post TODAY (December 27, 2014) by midnight (PST).
After midnight I’ll randomly pick the previous day’s winner. So make sure to check back tomorrow to see who won and to see what’s on offer for Day 3 of the Sales & Giveaways!
Hey, who won The Enchanted Garden Giveaway? That would be Sue! Please check your email for my message about getting your mailing address.
More info on the Holiday Closure & Giveaway Rules (including how you can get entered twice in each day’s drawing).

For more info about shipping (which will start when the staff are all back on 1/5/15) and the sale in general, please see the While the Cat’s Away…” Daily Giveaways: Year 7! overview page.
