This is a post I’m very sad to write.  Sweet Tomato Designs is retiring.  I can understand for her desire to spend more time with her family and to finish some things that have sat on the back burner for a while.  But still I am sad to see her go.  I have loved working with her designs, and I’ll be back later today to show you some of the stuff I have done that I never got to post here in the past month when things have been crazy!

So please, please go visit before it is too late and get your hands on any (or all) of her kits before they are gone.  You can get her kits exclusively at Funky Playground Design.

In fact for her newest kit at Funky Playground Designs you can get Clean Slate, a great kit for some of those back to school pictures.  In fact much to my husband’s amusement I did a page of him going back to school or rather beginning work again as this year began and he began his new position as a Visiting Professor for Physics.  Love the fact he has work but hate the fact he is driving 1 1/2 hours each way to get there.  But without further adeiu, here is my layout for Clean Slate, oh and I also used the Seedlings Template 4 for the basic design!

So I’ll be back later today with a few more layouts that I think you’ll really like.  So go over to Funky Playground and start getting those kits!

btw, anyone looking for a CT I’m soon going to be out of a job. 

Cara’s moved to one store so she can focus on designing more, YEAH!  As I get my life more in order I’ll have more stuff to play with – that is always good!  So make sure to check out her new store that opened today at PolkaDotPlum!

And to give you a little push (like you really need it right?) here is something I created with Cara’s kit Ordinary Moments which you can get at the PolkaDotPlum store 50% off!

I loved creating this and hope (cross my fingers) to be able to create a page where you can replace the date with a picture from that day.  There are many different designers and scrapbookers out there doing many different things to try and keep track of what happens in life so you can look back through the whole year.

This is my take on it, and who knows I might just get inspired to do one of these for each month.  We will see how it goes.

We have a recovering kid (was sick all night) here today so I haven’t had a chance yet.  But maybe later this weekend.

As it is, since I haven’t gotten my yearly Christmas present of my calendar for the fridge this works well for me to at least have an idea of what day it is!  :>)

I hope you enjoy and if I get the other idea completed then I will make sure to post an update!

Happy New Year and stay warm everyone.
