Freebie, New Release & A challenge

Click HERE to download.

Merry Christmas my lovely Scrapping Peeps! I hope you all take a little bit of time to enjoy the magic of this lovely time of year. I wanted to share a little scrapping with you to thank you all for a wonderful year! A few of my Polka Dot Plum friends are joining me with some other goodies or coupons for you, so stop by their blogs when you get a chance this week. Everything is gone after December 26th. This alpha coordinates with my final release of 2010, called Jingle Jangle. It is named after the two "elves" that visit my house each holiday season reporting back to santa about my kiddos behavior. A little mod, a little traditional, and a lot cute - take it home today for an unbelievable low price!

New Release & Huge Sale

The wait is finally over, my friends. Here is my latest kit, Bookish, dedicated to my lovely book club who has met for at least the last 10 years. I've read some amazing books and cultivated such amazing friendships with these ladies. This color palette is one of my favorites, and I always put in loads of general papers and elements so you can use it for all sorts of layouts. AND, if that wasn't enough, I'm also having a 50% off sale for the rest of week until after Cyber Monday since I wasn't around for iDSD. I won't have another sale like this until summer, so grab the yumminess now! For all my American friends, have a relaxing and fun-filled Turkey Day.

Sneaky Peek

Scrappers, here's a little teaser for Wednesday's new release, based on something near and dear to my heart! Look back on Wednesday for a chance to win it for FREE.

Grateful Sale

Hey Hey Hey!

Let's start off my return with a rockin' good deal on one of my favorite kits of all time, Grateful. The colors are just amazing in print! Take 50% off of this kit through Nov. 30th, that makes it ONLY $2.50 for a full kit, wowza! My CT is working with my latest kit, due out in a few days, look for a sneaky peek and a chance to win it very soon.

Sweet Tomato's back in business!!!

My lovely, loyal Mater fans, I'm so glad to see you again. It's been over a month without my internet and 3 months since I've released anything new, but it's been a wonderful whirlwind since August. We've moved into our beautiful house and I'd consider ourselves unpacked as long as nobody peeks into our garage, my beautiful daughter had surgery to help her hearing and speech issues, and we're gearing up for our best holiday season EVER. And, so now that I've finally got my internet hooked up (boy, is that a story) and my scanner and tablet hooked up and ready to go, I've started my next new release and I've got to tell you, the colors are amazing. I also missed the opportunity to advertise or participate in iDSD, so stay tuned for some special things I've got up my sleeve. I'm also changing up my Creative Team a bit, and will be doing my first open call in over a year soon. I hope this finds you all happy and healthy!

Spooktacular Sale

I may be taking a break from making new products while I move my family, but you can still grab some of my spooky yumminess at 40% off. Grab my Spooks Bundle for 40% off until 10/31/10 and scrap those memories in style!

Designer Call

Life is getting hectic for the Sweet Tomato right now, as our new house closes next week and we begin the "great migration" over to it. As a result, I'm taking some time off to get us all settled, but never fear, I have a notebook full of ideas to work on once I'm back sometime in November. Until then, I've got a few things up my sleeve...stay tuned for details...

Right now, Polka Dot Plum is having a Designer Call and for those designers among you, you won't find better owners than Lauren and Amy. It's a quirky, enthusiastic place to be and I'd love to work with you.

Humpty Dumpty Template Challenge

Hey Mater Fans, I've got a fun fall template in need of your expertise! Come join me in September's Humpty Dumpty Template Challenge, going on until September 28th...

Fall Kit Sale!

Hey Hey Digi Friends! I'm celebrating the onset of Fall with a 50% off sale on 2 of my fall kits, Autumn Bliss and Grateful, full of charming colors and unique accents and papers that will be sure to garner you some gallery love.

We are having a great start to school, my little guy is really getting into kindergarten and my daughter is loving all the creativity of nursery school. I'm so proud, and amazingly busy carting them everywhere. We will be moving in a month and once I get us set up there, I plan to be back to designing with a vengeance!!! Enjoy your weekend everyone...

Hello there! I needed to relieve some stress, so I went shopping at Polka Dot Plum and found 2 kits I've been dying to play with and got my scrap on today. I thought I'd share and hopefully inspire you!

Busy Little Bee

Hi, my scrappy friends! We have had one of the busiest months of my life thus far, trying to get our current place ready to rent (which we now have renters in place) and packing and looking forward to our new place. I went by today and fixtures and appliances are going in, and I'm still in awe that I'm going to own such a beautiful place in a matter of weeks now. I feel so lucky. Several of my friends expressed interest in seeing pics, so here are a few I took today. I think I may need a new house kit coming up soon, eh?

Talking about new kits, I do have a new one in the works, look for my newest creation next week! It's based on my favorite summer dessert, any guesses which one it is?

Awesome CU Blowout Sale

Are you in need of some beautiful handmade CU overlays? CU buttons or doodles? Then, this is the week to grab some Sweet Tomato originals. Everything was created by me, then scanned in my amazing scanner at 600 dpi and then saved as a jpeg or png file at 300 dpi. The detail is clear and beautiful. And if you buy the bundles with this sale, I'm almost giving them away. Click here to see what I've got for you. Price shown reflects the discount.

Here's the next letter for the coupon code for your free kit...



enjoy!!!

Hi, my lovely scrapping peeps. We're in the midst of a hot, dry summer here on the US east coast and I'm loving every minute of it (well, most of them anyway). I've been able to do some more reading, and am currently loving Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and have been fantasizing where I would spend a year if I was trying to find myself. Definitely Europe somewhere, some exotic friendly island and an amazing metropolitan city would make my list. What about you?

I've gotten some design mojo back and have finally created a kit based on my son's bedroom colors, and I'm really digging the combination. I've also created a bundle if you have a little guy and gal like me, you can get the Finley and Nolan kits bundled together for a BIG discount!

Sibling Rivalry Bundle



And if you need a starting point, grab my fun new Twofers template Set 1, also out today.

Remember all of these are 20% off Wednesday the 21st ONLY.
