Sign Ups OPEN for August - Finding Neverland

For the FIRST TIME EVER the Brat Pack Train is joining forces with the BNB Train for a jam-packed awesome train for the month of August!!
**BNB Train members, please read for further instructions**



Journey with us into a place far far away...deep in the forest amidst mushrooms and toadstools, critters and fairies....take my hand and fly away with Neverland.
This was a title/theme I came up with last year but another train had the theme slotted for theirs and I didn't want to do the same thing so I set it aside until later. And promptly forgot about it! lol Anyway to give you all enough time to make a start I am sending it out now.
This is a gorgeous palette I came with after playing with many colours till I was happy, so let your imaginations run wild!

You may make Tagger, Full Size, CU, QP's whatever you like - just be sure to let your visitors know what your items are!
You may call your kit/items anything you wish just so long as it fits into the theme.

NOTE: You have to be very careful with what you call things or use for supplies due to copyrights.

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

Let's Get Hot in the Shade!


OK I had this palette picked out at the same time as the last one and couldn't decide which one to do first. lol Yet another summery type of one, though you can choose whatever you wish to do.....and to give you all enough time to make a start I am sending it out now.
This palette is a more rustic kind so let your imaginations run wild! And this palette is warmer in nature hoping to bring us some warmth here in Australia....lol Been cold the last few days and nights here.

May Train - Paws for a Cause

This month we decided to pay tribute to our furry friends this month as here in Australia on Sunday 15th May all over the country the RSPCA Million Paws Walk will take place. This year will be Ciara's third and will be Jasper's first. All proceeds go to funding the RSPCA, of which Sydney's shelter is close to capacity at the moment and urging people who are looking for a pet to adopt one.

So I have used the colours from this years event, and the MPW website http://www.millionpawswalk.com.au/ - you can check it out if you wish for information on exactly what the walk entails and how it works. It's a lot of fun for pet owners. The Million PawsPublish Post Walk is primarily for dogs, but it has at attracted all kinds of pets, as well as cats, in some of the more rural areas with horses, rabbits and the like. So feel free to make something in honour of our furry friends - dogs, cats, horses...anything with paws (well, hooves for horses...lol) I am constantly asked for kits on dogs, as there seem to be a lot of cat ones, but some other animals I am sure will be welcomed also.

You may make a sampler of a PTU kit you wish you place in store. For myself, I think all proceeds from the PTU kit will go to the RSPCA here in Australia. I encourage you to perhaps do the same in your own country, if you wish. These organisations are only very minimally funded by the government with the rest of their funds coming from donations and sponsors and events like the Million Paws Walk.

OK...here is the palette and information.

You may make Tagger, Full Size, CU, QP's whatever you like - just be sure to let your visitors know what your items are!

You may call your kit/items anything you wish just so long as it fits into the theme.

NOTE: You have to be very careful with what you call things or use for supplies due to copyrights.
