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...

* NEW * Erin Condren Planner TOTE



Welcome back! 
Can I just talk about this tote for a minute...  I wasn't 100% sold on this bag because, really, who needs another tote bag, right?!  Well in this You Tube video I talk about why I got it and gave it an honest and (very) throughout review. 

If you are at work, and can't watch you can certain read and see the pictures I've got if you keep scrolling!!



 Let's start with the exterior. I chose the navy canvas although there are 2 other faux leather ones as well. There is faux leather accents everywhere to elevate it from your just basic tote.  The plastic edge covering on the leather is just a testament to the attention to detail Erin Condren is known for.

The strap which measures 2 in wide, is quite heavy from it's gold hardware but I'm sure it is absolutely durable!  You can customize which of the 3 color ways, this one is classic, another one is pastel and the last is sorbet.  I chose the classic, red white, beige and blue version.


Let's dive deep with the interior elastic pocket.  Although I 'm scared to death of putting any liquids near my planner and supplies, my 20oz Yeti fits with room to spare.  You can also put your (dry) umbrella or pen case in there for easy access.


It does have 2 more pockets of 6 inches deep, one is 4.5 inches wide and the other 2.5 inches.  I've got my sunglasses in one and my laptop cord in the other.  Obviously you can hold a hole host of different things in these two pockets, although I kinda wish there was an interior zipper pocket though.



There are 2 zipper pockets on the exterior through.  I tried both my spiral bound and my EC Binder.  The 13 inch deep pockets fit the spiral bound with ease, although topping off at 12 inches wide the binder was a little snug to try to jam it in the pocket.


Now I tried several different arrangements of planner and life supplies to see what configuration I preferred the best.  It does hold all three of my EC planners, my binder punch, pen pouch and sanitary items.



If I take out my on-the-go folio, I could then add my laptop to a zipper pocket and my Yeti to the interior.  Unfortunately, I can't fit the whole kitchen sink, but I do think that it will hold just enough of my teacher supplies that I will be in business when back to school starts!
