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.

Food kick

I've been baking days. Just kiddn', just a few hours. But phew, did I get a lot done~
Clockwise: sugar cookies, pecan-cranberry biscotti, German love cookies, spritz

I also made English toffee bars too but I don't want to talk about that.  Ok. Scratch that... I do need to tell you.  Since it was so cold the other day, instead of putting the dogs in the garage while I was out, I decided to barricade them in the kitchen.  Belle got into the pan licked all the nuts off the top and if she would have had a spatula would have eaten the whole pan, and would have asked me for a bowl of milk too.  Leach!
These ladies are waiting "patiently" to get to the kitchen floors after I'm done. I don't know how many times a day I have to yell. "OUT". Thank goodness she isn't named Spot! 
Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!

No energy left to frost.  Maybe later.
