Happy scrapping,

I’m a little late with this. Ya’ll should have had it on Friday but I’m running a few days late so you have it on Monday instead. I did this template based on my LO with Suzy’s kit Roughin’ It. I have never been camping but the kit is so versatile I was still able to use it. There are some really cute elements in it! You can pick up Roughin’ It at Polka Dot Plum.

Just click on the template for the download link. Thanks!

Just a small release from SuzyQ this week & if you’ve got Volleyball pics to scrap, you’re going to love it! 20% off for TODAY ONLY is….’From the Sticks: Bump, Set, Spike!’ You can find it in SuzyQ’s store here

Hi there, Laura here again and I have another SNEAK PEEK for ya. Yah I love to tease. So here it is…and be sure to come back so you can find out what this is!

While you’re waiting why not come on over to Polka Dot Plum and check out the store…there must be something you need for all those Halloween goodies you are going to make.

Fall has definitely showed it’s face in my part of the world. With the cooler air, have come thoughts about Halloween and planning for treats and school parties. I enjoy packaging treats for the kids and school functions in fun ways.

One fun way I have found are treat bag toppers, based on packaging of lots of things that you buy every day! When stapled over the top of a zip top sandwich bag, these toppers make a cute, inexpensive way to dress up treats

Here is a Halloween one I am using to give treats out. I put this one together using Suzy’s Halloween kit Too Cute To Spook

Our kids don’t get to have Halloween Parties at school, but rather they have Fall Parties, so I used Suzy’s Fallin’ Into Fun Kit for this one for school parties.

Want to make your own treat toppers? Download a very simple template HERE.

All you have to do is decorate the first side, rotate the canvas 180 degrees and decorate the second side. It is important that if you are using global light shadows,  you merge all the layers of one side before rotating to work on the second side because your shadows will change when you rotate. After you have created the topper, print it and trim it. If you cut along the edge of your design the topper with be a perfect fit for sandwich and snack sized bags. Fold the topper in half and staple over the top of the the bag.

These toppers are perfect for Trick or Treaters, school parties, birthday party goody bags and many other things!!

Something small but awesome for this weeks new release – one for the template lovers or one for those who find it hard to scrap loads of photos These are 20% off for today only so make sure you go snap them up! You can see one of the templates in action below – a layout from SuzyQ herself!
