Lina's Joy Train and A CU Freebie

This is Lina. She is a valued and active member of my Creative Team. Lina found out she was pregnant for her 3rd child last fall and had a very difficult start to her pregnacy. She was very ill and incapacitated, which is difficult when you have a a toddler and a 4 year old running around! Come to find out, Lina was carrying twins and sadly lost one of them. This was devestating news, but we were happy that she was okay and that the other baby still thrived. Lina is due in August and we thought it would be a wonderful gift to her and other expectant mothers to do a baby themed blog train! The due date for all participants is July 15th. We do have a Yahoo group and a blog where your blog will be linked if you decide to join us on this baby train! www.linasjoy.blogspot.com. Just email me at tghjlw@gmail.com if you wouldlike to be added as one of our "stops". Train is scheduled to depart on August 1st! The ad and palette is below. The palette is available aat the yahoo group once you join without the ad.

And I admit it, I hoped to lure some designers to my blog with the offer of a free CU flower that I designed. I was hoping if I could get some of you here, you would see the post about the blog train....so here is the free CU flower. I do hope you enjoy it wether you join the train or not! Please follow my TOU when using this template. Just click on the preview to download from 4shared.
FREEBIE : Commercial use

Like No Tomorrow: New Kit!!!

This is my newest creation, Like no tomorrow. I picked out the color palette and was actually trying something new for me...2 colors with 3 varying shades of each from darker to lighter. I did the first two papers and thought...no way! I hate it! I thought it was not going to have enough color to it...But then I said, well, I will do a few more papers and see how it looks then...and then I started loving it! It worked! lol Is it not the most cheerful thing you have seen all day? (Don't answer mothers with infants) I hope you like it as much as I do. It is on sale for half off for two weeks. The last day you can get it for only $1.50 will be July 1st. So grab it while it is hot! Here or Here
My last 4 items are still on sale as well so take a gander at them too. :o)
This is a layout I made with the kit, this layout will also be in the QP set that will be in the stores soon as well. This is a picture of my nephew and my two boys. Zack in the middle looks JUST like me at that age, but now he looks like his dad for the most part...And look at the honking feet on my youngest son! Don't tell his Dad I had an affair with Fred Flintstone...lol
Wendy Tunison made the next two layouts! I love how little you need to do layouts...fill it up, or minimize what you use, but make it work people! lol I watch too much Bravo! lol

Wendy also made a beautiful quick page for all of you! Damn! This girl is good! I will be using this one. It may not be on her site yet, so please check back.
And look what Jodi did! her little girl is so darn cuuute!
I will be posting Jodi's other layouts with Lina's tomorrow cause I accidently deleted it just now...for some cosmic reason,when I upload a photo after I type words, I cannot make the photo move down where I want it. But if you want to see some more now...I just peeked...she has them up and she did great on them!


Thanks for stopping in!

Now, for the layouts made with this kit...first up, mwah. lol My BFF and I went to Mexico, NY last week and saw two horses running on either side of a fence...they were playing! So we pulled over and Julee let me use her awesome camera...but by the time I got close enough to the fence, they had split up and two ladies walked out...drat! But I took some pictures anyway. I Love that fence! The horse is okay too. lol He was gorgeous!

This is Julee's son Jakob. He is a funny guy and shows much promise to become an outstanding specimen of the human race! I love him. He is the nephew of my heart. I mean look at him, you want him to be your nephew too...don't-cha? I love the dandelion puffs in this kit..okay, there is one, but I love it...I even took the picture of it myself. Dandelions are a nice masculine addition for a flower....
