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.

Sew Green: Reuse, Repurpose, Restyle!

I was contacted by Learning ZoneXpress , who makes educational products for Jr and Sr high students, to do a video about ecological sewing. Their last sewing video was dated and quite in need of updating and they wanted to join the green movement.

The shoot itself was 8 hrs. and the production company 7rendered Design was phenomenal. They were so professional and really knew how to work me through my first on camera experience. Totally my first and only choice when I web or video needs.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of the situation yesterday.

Head shot replacement?!?!?



Thanks for the tea Mandy (Ben's gorgeous wife and creative video genius)




Light things (I don't know what they are called) gave and blocked light all day. Tough job!



This was staring at me all day!
One of my projects in the video is a fused plastic messenger bag and below are pictures of the sample bag and other idea of things you can make from it.
