12 Days of Christmas - SIGN UPS OPEN!

DECEMBER TRAIN

THEME: "Twelve Days of Christmas" 
PALETTE: Your choice

**At least 12 Participants NEEDED!!**

Christmas is just around the corner and is a very popular time for freebies! This month we are doing something different and to make it work I need AT LEAST 12 participants please! The last few trains have bordered on around 10 participants but we need at least 12 please!

How this train will work is that each day beginning 1st December, a new "part" of the blog train will be released. You do not need to make a full kit if you don't wish, but a few elements, a script, some papers, a mini kit, CU or PU - whatever you wish. And each day one of these will be released ON THE DESIGNER'S BLOG ready for download, to make up the 12 days of Christmas - hence why I need at least 12 participants.

Now, I have set up the database slightly different, and you have the option of choosing which part in the train you will take (1 - 12). If the number you wish has already been taken, please choose another! Once we reach all 12, extra participants may choose the number of their choice from 1 - 12 again. Only once we reach 12 places will we start the 12 again. This will ensure all spots are taken and therefore some parts may be released on the same day together. Does that make sense? lol


Let's make this an awesome and exciting train for Christmas. We look forward to your parts!

You may make Tagger, Full Size, CU, QP's whatever you like - just be sure to let your visitors know what your items are!  Please state on your previews whether they are FULL SIZE or TAGGER and CU or PU. *s*
You may call your kit/items anything you wish just so long as it fits into the theme.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGES:
Scrap Kits: 3 papers and 12 elements MINIMUM
Quickpages: 4 MINIMUM
NO PAPER PACKS (unless they are CU)
CU: 4 papers/overlays/elements MINIMUM (unless a script or action then 1 of is permitted)

We are trying to make our train one our visitors enjoy riding on, and some become disheartened to find a freebie very minimal. So we would like to offer them something to keep them coming back! And freebies are advertising for our PTU work.

NOTE: You have to be very careful with what you call things or use for supplies due to copyrights. You may NOT name your kits the same as that of a TV, book or movie etc.

To take part you just need to stop over and join the group to be ready *s*

November Theme - "Forever Twilight" - SIGN UPS OPEN!!

NOVEMBER TRAIN

THEME: "Forever Twilight"

**For this month ONLY, the train will be departing on 15th November**

November sees the fifth and final installment to the Twilight Saga with "Breaking Dawn Part 2", but the romance, the fantasy and the story will live on forever - hence the name of our theme. For those who aren't familiar with the story of this final part, after the birth of Renesmee, Bella finds herself enjoying her new life and abilities. However, embittered vampire Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an "immortal child". Because immortal children are uncontrollable, creating them has been outlawed by the Volturi. After Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy Renesmee. In an attempt to survive, the Cullens gather other vampires from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. (Wikipedia)

Let's make this an awesome and exciting theme to celebrate the final chapter of The Twilight Saga. We look forward to your parts!

You may make Tagger, Full Size, CU, QP's whatever you like - just be sure to let your visitors know what your items are!  Please state on your previews whether they are FULL SIZE or TAGGER and CU or PU. *s*

It's "Phantasmagoria" this Halloween!

The Brat Pack Blog Train presents :: PHANTASMAGORIA ::

With Halloween around the corner the Brat Pack have been super busy with some spooky goodies for you this year!  So for something different we decided to go with Phantasmagoria - a catchy name, but how many know what it actually means? *s*

Phantasmagoria (also fantasmagorie, fantasmagoria) was a form of theatre which used a modified magic lantern to project frightening images such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, frequently using rear projection. The projector was mobile, allowing the projected image to move and change size on the screen, and multiple projecting devices allowed for quick switching of different images. Invented in France in the late 18th century, it gained popularity through most of Europe (especially England) throughout the 19th century.

Meaning:
1. a shifting series of phantasms, illusions, or deceptive appearances, as in a dream or as created by the imagination.
2. a changing scene made up of many elements.
3. an optical illusion produced by a magic lantern or the like in which figures increase or diminish in size, pass into each other, dissolve, etc.

Such a different yet thrilling theme!
 Please don't forget to leave a note of thanks when downloading. Each designer spends a lot of time and effort to bring you these freebies and it is always lovely to receive comments of appreciation. *s*
Now, onto the train!

The delightful melodic strains of music can be heard this month as the Brat Pack brings you various forms from opera to dance for your enjoyment. Done a little differently this time, the members were given the theme but were able to choose their own palettes to complement their own variations of "Music of the Night".

Please be sure to leave a note of thanks when downloading, as each designer spends many hours bringing you these freebies and a little courtesy goes a long way. We each enjoy reading your comments and knowing they are appreciated.
