Yes, I've been missing for a week. And I've been missing stamping and blogging too. I've have a virus which is stopping me doing just about everything, but I hope to be back in the saddle soon.
Here's a rare (for me) scrapbook page that I made a while ago and I used it for the Crafty Creations Challenge this week, which is travel. I'm sponsoring the prize this week, which is a whopping 25 yards of ribbon - check it out!
The block with the black and white gingham bow opens up to reveal an accordian folded booklet with some journaling. Here's a close up:
The title is chipboard letters covered with patterned paper:
And here's a closer look at one more detail which I like - a mini library clip:
I hope you are having a wonderful summer and can find some time to create and have fun.
All supplies by Stampin' Up!

I'd been wondering where you were... I'm so sorry you've been so sick. Poor baby. Your LO is breathtaking and I adore the folded journaling block. The photo is sensational! Your talent amazes me. Feel better!
