Faux Tag Spread

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.

Why is he always missing the cool stuff?  His first stroller ride. Thanks Lauren W. for the borrow!

 BTW, I'm teaching a Lego Arts kids camp this summer.  It's full right now but you can get on the wait list.
