Day 2 Theme & Giveaway: Printery
Filed under Cat's Away... 2011, Giveaways, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
)
Hey, it’s Day 2 of the “While the Cat’s Away…” Giveaways! And today’s theme is Printery. Designed to look like antique pages from a Victorian printer’s spec sheets. I love the muted sage-y greens, faint aqua blue and chamois colors in this palette! Plus a big helping of black (fairly distressed so more like a dark French roast coffee brown). And I went a little crazy and took extra photos, so click on all the photos in this top/overview section to see more details.
)
AND, I’m doing an experiment: I’ve created a new poll (in the right column) about whether any of you would be interested in a Printery Kit (a kit with all of things in it from today’s Giveaway Kit, but that you could go buy all at once). It would be a offered for a limited time (and based on this week’s sales, some items might need to be substituted… but that would be explained if/when the time comes).
Back to this Giveaway and how it works: I’ve gathered new (and current) items around a theme. All of them are on sale for everyone. And I’ve pulled together a lovely Giveaway Kit made from those goodies that will be awarded to one lucky person.
)

To enter the Printery Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post (don’t forget to leave your email address, too, so I can contact the winner; note, your email address does not need to be made public).
After midnight I’ll randomly pick the previous day’s winner.
More info on the Holiday Closure & Giveaway Rules (including how you can get entered twice in each day’s drawing).
Note: all the indented items below are included in the Giveaway Kit. There are some additional (related) things just(!) put on sale that are not in the Giveaway Kit (down at the bottom of this page). Some of the additional sale items are new, too!
