My darling husband had to go away for a 10-day business trip all the way across the pond in Europe, leaving me and the rugrat behind to hold the fort. Unfortunately, both the kiddo and I had a raging bout of Hand-Foot-Mouth (so NOT fun!) Lucky for his dad, he was nowhere near the outbreak zone, but boy, did we miss him!
Every time he goes away, I try to make something for my hubby to take with him to let him know that we will be thinking of him. I was inspired by this week's
Our Creative Corner: Fabulous Faces Challenge to make something with photographs; he always asks for photos, so I thought I would make him a special little "album" that he could easily fit into his alrady overstuffed briefcase. I used this really cool
Mini Acrylic Accordion Album from
Taylored Expressions, pairing it with the big, bold sentiment from
Bugabee and there were exactly 10 spaces!
I used some really fun patterned paper from Echo Park's Walk in the Park collection and tied it all off with a bright, fun ribbon and a mini clothespin to hold on my tag that said everything we had to say to let daddy know that he would be both loved and missed!
