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.

Messenger Bag

I whipped up this messenger bag for the kids school fundraiser last night. I have just a huge stack designer sample fabrics that I am using for these bags.

Every time I make one I add more pockets. Next time I want to do pockets on the sides for cell phone/keys. and one on the back of the bag.
