Holiday Closure & After-Christmas Sale
It’s day FOUR of this week of While the Cat’s Away Sales & Giveaways!
Reminder: Half Price Shipping on ALL orders (for orders shipping to USA) now through Wednesday night, January 1st! Only $2.95! Plus FREE shipping on orders over $50! More info
Reminder #2: ALL Scrapbook Paper is on sale at 40% off! Plus clearance paper is on Sale at 50% off! This is HUGE (over 260 items), including single sheets AND paper sets/pads! The scrapbook paper sale also runs through Wednesday night, January 1st!
Moving to today’s news: Not only is this the announcement of the January kit (and a related one-day sale), but we have fun artwork from Design Team Member Rhonda Thomas! Let’s start by looking at the new kit…
New Year Gnomes Kit
Happy New Year! And these whimsical gnomes wish you a Happy New Year, too!
There is so much good stuff in this kit! From 3 new scrapbook papers with images from snowy trees to beautiful night skies (and wood creatures, a gnome home door, 3 red mushrooms, and a tiny gnome)! And 2 new collage sheets with some larger gnomes sized for that front door!
That fairy door comes with a set of overlays plus a sign and a mushroom. And the set of small woodland shapes in the kit may also contain a mushroom (note: there are bunches more options than what is shown here… 2 styles of hedgehogs, more leaves and acorns and squirrels, etc. — you’ll get a random set of 6 wooden shapes but they may not exactly match the ones in the photos on this page). See the Wooden Woodland Fairy Shape Mix page for more photos.
Go see the new kit for more info and more photos (plus more coordinating goodies and artwork are below).

A Little Place Called Gnomeville by Rhonda Thomas
If you ever find yourself deep in the forest, you might be lucky enough to come along to a little place known as Gnomeville.
There is a wonderful cabin there, with a foundation of beautiful stone where all are welcome.
On any given night, you can peek in the back window and see gnomes gathered around a warm fire, sipping on warm cider with smiles and laughter on all.
One of my favorite things to see there are the grand toadstools that pop up all over, which I’ve heard is a sign of good luck. What a fabulous way to bring in a New Year!
Thank you, Rhonda! Your project is beautiful! I love how you turned the 4.5 x 5.5 Inch Mini Folio into a house structure (and added all the mossy goodies over the wooden door).
Go visit Rhonda’s blog post for more photos (like the other side of the house)! Plus, here’s her supply list to find more of those forest supplies. And read on, as goodies from Rhonda’s artwork are in today’s Giveaway.
