While the Cat’s Away Day 6: Time Traveler’s Memories

Filed under Cat's Away... 2014, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters, Sale, Teri Calia

Hey, it’s Day 6 of the While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today’s theme is Time Traveler’s Memories. (I feel like I’ve been time traveling… how’d we arrive at day 6 already?) With a bonus as Teri Calia has created a lovely Butterfly Shadowbox with this kit!


What luscious artwork Teri has made! From the gorgeous pendant on the front cover (using the New A Gilded Life – Chandelier Bezel Die to cut paper from the New Time Travelers Memories 6×6 Paper Pad to fit the A Gilded Life – Chandelier Bezel – Large Gold) to the whimsy of using stamen as antenae for the Resin Baby Doll “butterfly” on the inside!

On the inside of what, you may ask… the inside of that ever-useful ATC Book Box (also included in the kit)! It’s a nicely-made box with a wrap-around cover with ample room for a big stack of heavily embellished ATCs (or maybe design a little scene inside, just like Teri’s).

And you can see from all the photos that there is (another!) flurry of beautiful flowers in this kit:
New 1 Inch Burgundy Paper Roses
New Petite Teastained Black & Cream Pansies and Leaves
White Pearl Stamen

This kit includes 3 collage sheets, that have just been put On Sale, too:
Bees, Birds and Butterflies Collage Sheet
Butterflies Collage Sheet
La Mode – Papillon Collage Sheet

See the Time Traveler’s Memories 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 Inspiring Butterfly Shadowbox 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.
