Faux Tag Spread

In a previous Cocoa Daisy project, I created a tag using the October Glow Creative Ki t paper to serve as a bookmark. I loved the idea so much that I decided to use it as a template throughout the spread. By tracing around it and then shading in the edges, I was able to mimic the look of layered paper and give my pages extra depth without the bulk. It creates a dimensional effect that makes the tags look like they’re tucked right into my notebook. To keep that “layered paper” look going, I added strips of washi tape from the Planner Kit to the top and bottom of each 'tag'  Washi is one of my favorite ways to bring in more texture without overwhelming the page. It frames the sections nicely and it also helps divide my to-dos from my daily schedule. On the left-hand side I used a Top 3 box to focus my priorities, then scattered in task lists, appointments, and reminders for the rest of the day. I also I divided my tasks into AM and PM lists I do this quite often because it makes...

Late night...again!

Why is it always that I rummage through a drawer at 9:00 at night and am inspired to do a project!
I did this white work with 11 other birds in mind for a lovely quilt. (I think you know where I am going with this). I had this one and 3/4ths of other done before I abandoned the gargantuan project. In crafters terms it hasn't been around all that long, only a year. Sometime, I'll finish the other one...maybe another year.

One note of angst: I wish I could take photos of my projects like the ones I see everywhere else like Soulemama and Posie Get Cozy just to name a very few. I really need insider tips on how to stage pictures the "Etsy Way". There must be a secret Etsy photo club where everyone else is a member and my nose is pressed against the glass looking in. Am I back in high school?

...list it on Etsy? I think I will. Knowing someone will love it just as much gives me "warm fuzzes".
