Thank you all ...
for your lovely comments. They really mean a lot to me.
I am very happy to say that my crafting mojo has returned. I was getting a little worried there.
My son's girlfriend is off to Germany for a few weeks for a school trip. He wanted a book that he could tuck little notes to her into, so she would have them throughout her trip. Of course, my brain screams scrapbook. I made this book for her to take with her. I used, for the first time, a Bind-it-All binder cover. I really liked using it. It is basically a chipboard book. The back page has a pocket that holds a plastic sheet. You bind the plastic sheet to the last page of the scrapbook, tuck it into the pocket and then your book is enclosed in this lovely binder. I should have taken pictures of the BIA cover beforehand but I didn't think of it. It makes for a very nicely finished book.
Here is the cover (the outside of the BIA binder cover).
And the inside pages (minus my sons notes, of course)
For that last page, I die cut and made little shrinky-dink charms. They were so fun to make. I wanted to give her lots of space to tuck memorabilia. There are a lot of little pockets and tags.
In that pocket on the right is a journal for her to add notes.
Thanks for sticking around and I hope to be back soon with some new cards I made,

P.S. the BIA covers are called Cover-Alls. Here is a link:

7/2 ETA: forgot the last page of the book (see below)
