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.

Upscale Burp Rags

The 'plain jane' diapers that I use for burb rags were...well...plain.

There's no reason I can't jazz things up a bit. Some of you asked about the burp rag in this picture, so I decided to expand on this a little bit.  So although I could make a tutorial there really is no hard rules to this. 


Taking plain ribbon from the craft store I just cut a length of ribbon a little bit longer than the diaper and sewed it on either side turning the raw ends under. I placed it off center because if I put it down the middle, it looked like a road. The only special trick is to wash the diapers first to shrink them before putting the ribbon on.

 
I deceided to use sports themed ribbon (shocking, I know) but feel free to use whatever type and width of ribbon you want. 

This makes a great personalized baby gift!
~and it's easy!~
