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. I also I divided my tasks into AM and PM lists I do this quite often because it makes...

Freckled Fawn | What I did on the way home!


We recently went to Columbus Ohio for a rare weekend getaway!  I wanted to document some stories from this journey and why not do it while fresh in out minds hearts- on the way home in the car!



Which at first glance is quite bright and floral-ly but it is so modern and sharp at the same time!  (I love the polygon shapes!)



Yellow and black are surprisingly stricking with purple, a color combo I've not used before!  Using the screen shots from Instagram Stories and Snapchat I saved them in a grid photo collage and printed them out at a Walgreen's as we were leaving town. Not bad for $1.05! The frames and journal cards we great bases for two of the pictures.




On the next page, I used a more subdued palette, teal and red/pink.  2 more journal cards were bases, but also the sticky note paper was one as well!  I also was a bit cheeky, using one of the long enamel diamond stickers as a torch in honor of Olympian Jessie Owens.



My last double page was for the zoo.  The green journal card was perfect on an angle while using several of the chipboard "lovely day" stickers as accents.

And no, my handwriting is much to be desired for but not bad for a jiggly car with no table.  Not a bad use of time, a couple of hours, plus my documenting is complete!

Thanks y'all!

XOXOXOXO
Kim
