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.

100% Success for a pocket page layout


If you want a sure-fire way to finish with a successful layout there is ONE thing you can do to ensure that.

Go MONOCHROMATIC

That means pick ONE color from ONE picture and repeat it throughout your layout!

In this pocket page layout, I decided to repeat the color red which I got from the bleacher chairs behind Tyler.  



We love ephemera but adding elements that have red already in them will always draw everything together.


I introduced another color, in this case is black,  It's in small doses that I've included an accent color. That way it doesn't compete with the primary color.


Doing a monochroatic layout may make your finished product "flat".  Add texture by height to add some shadowing! 



Lastly, if you have more than one picture, it's helpful to make sure all the other pictures you've included are neutral in color.  Again, no competition!

Good luck on your next 100%  sure thing layout!
