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.

The next Holiday!

I hate to jump the gun a bit but seeing all of the Valentine stuff in the stores (while Christmas clearancing) reminds me that there isn't much time, that holiday always creeps up on me. By the time I get the holiday decorations down and put away, whammo Happy February! So today I embarked on a cute craft idea. Obviously, I'm into totes right now. Everything I do is tote related. Mommy ones, Daddy ones and whee little baby totes like this one. I bought the felt tote itself from Target with some really bad ribbon and dirty felt for $.25 , yes a quarter and assumed I could do better than the sweatshop children in China, poor things.


All the felt and stitching was done by moi. I think it turned out pretty well for a one hour project. Now only 6 more to go!
Tote size is about 6" square with a round flat bottom.
