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. It frames the sections nicely and it also helps divide my to-dos from my daily schedule. On the left-hand side I used a Top 3 box to focus my priorities, then scattered in task lists, appointments, and reminders for the rest of the day.

Map

I was at a Sportsman Show...

They look like ordinary maps but they are digially enhanced. Appartently LakeMaster takes an aerial photo enhances the colors of the land and changes the color of the lake depending on its depth.   I ordered one for my Dad because the family farm is located on Waubay Lake. He's also map-o-phile.


At first I wasn't sure about adding the depth rings on the lake but in the last 12 years the area has had severe flooding which had raised the lake to it's post glacial size.  If you look at the picture you'll see a L shaped road that is now under water and will be for a very long time.  Maybe my kids will see how it used to be, just like Dad remembers it.

My husband proposed to me by my favorite thinking log on that lake. Its right by the southernmost clump of trees.  The log is underwater now. Oh well.  I still got the ring!
