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.

Desktop Dandy

 

Indeed, It’s that time of year where we turn the page to a fresh beginning. Last year we received an A6 Planning Forward calendar and this year Cocoa Daisy has brought it back again in the Silent Moon Planner Kit. While I love the portability of this nifty helper, I want to showcase this beauty on my desktop.

I backed the piece of the Silent Moon Kit paper by cutting 2 pieces of chipboard just shy of the width leaving the middle crease uncovered. I then punched 4 holes in the Planner that was sliced down the middle and corresponding ones in the chipboard as well. Lastly I added 2 threaded key chains to make it just like an old school desk calendar.

My favorite part has got to be the extra covered chipboard piece that I added 2 inches from the end. With a triangle piece behind for support, It now it sits propped up on my desk.

Since I took off the cover I wanted to repurpose it underneath on the bottom large flap. That way the calendar can still be propped up on my desk and I also have a place to write down important dates for the entire year as well. No flipping needed!
