My BEST Template Freebie - LOL

ok... I was on a roll with posting and such... I'm making it my goal to post everyday for the rest of this ENTIRE WEEK! Seeing how it's almost Thursday -- I think I can manage that! PLUS I will have some really -- ok.. better than *really*... I will have some extremely F.U.N. news come Friday morning! I can hardly wait and I have been burning the midnight oil getting prepared!

Alright, I have to be honest with all you peeps... I had an alterior (is that the right word I'm looking for???) motive with today's Freebie. You see... I did this LO last week of my youngest

turning 8 months old. Truthfully, I think it's a very well layed out design and I think all of the products I used on it work together PERFECTLY! (Just FYI: I used my Swass Mask (the swirl), my Not So SIMPLE SOLIDS (neutral pack), my cardboard and Tracy B's stitching...). So I get this LO all done and resized for the web and upload it to like a bazillion galleries (ok... like 3, but still -- and I only got a handfull of comments on it :( and that's a collective number from all galleries! So... I wanted to put it here on my blog so I can show it off again - LOL ... oh, and if you feel so inclined to tell me how much you love it, I'll be your best friend! hee hee

OK.. with that being said... since I really do think the overall design was great, I turned it into a Template. I'm excited to say that it features one of my new Swass Masks that were recently released. Hurry and snatch up this beauty because I'm only offering it for 24 hours!

EDITED: I left the link up for over 3 days... but it is expired now! sorry guys!

LOVE the template, Shandy! Sorry you didn't get more comments... I'm heading over to DST to leave you love right now. Things move so fast on that site... I swear layouts never stay on the first page for more than a few minutes.

Anyway... have I told you lately that you rock?
