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.

"White Christmas"

And I don't mean the white fluffy stuff outside (although we did get a fresh batch last night). My Aunt Ila has surprised me with a wonderful treat last night.

It must have had 7 yards of fabric in that thing. I wish I could have taken pictures.

That is what I want for Christmas!

Thanks Aunt Ila for a great time!
