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.

Couldn't believe how narrow this place was! Ohhhhh the fabric!





Lovely!






The "clearance" basket from which I chose my treasures! I tend not to buy yardage anymore since I work on such small scale.



Unbenouced to me, Brenda snapped this one. Caught red handed!
I'll be back, Purl!
