Em-Buckle-ing

Cocoa Daisy's Big Sky Kit is a great way to have a little something country in my little bit city kinda lifestyle. I made 3 simple things to embellish my planner this month.

Not very often I can make a belt buckle bookmark for my planner! These intricate patches included with the Big Sky Stationery Kit were my inspiration to work around. The brown notebook cover offered me the buckle while the washi stipes were the belt loops. Adding additional detail I added another washi strip for the shirt placket and put the Metallic Enamel Dots in place for buttons. Shading was also done for a “dirty” denim look by using the Zebra Zensations Colored Pencil.

The tags from the Travelers Notebook Kit were the first printed linen bookmarks I have seen from Cocoa Daisy. To finish them off I just treaded a folded strip of washi through the grommet. Plus, who doesn’t love a little flair button as an add on too!

I have been raving about the adhesive pockets for months and are always happy to see their return to the kits. I’ve been utilizing the space above my pocket inclusions to add more detail to the inside cover of my Standard Size Notebook. A piece of washi and two placed adhesive die cuts fit the bill this month but hoping to ramp up the usability space in April!
