This crochet lace ribbon is magnificent! I created the album cover floral embellishment by folding it in half, running a gathering stitch, and pulling my thread to create a circle. Looks a bit like a yoyo! Love the ease and look of this embellishment. I then sewed a button center to finish.
Have you seen this wonderful suede leaf ribbon? These leaves are the softest and have the most beautiful feel to them! Oh my! I trimmed two down and ran a stitch to gather the edge that is underneath the lace flower before attaching to the cover with scor tape. The lace flower is attached with glue dots.
A peek of the backside of the cover reveals the first day of the week, Sunday! I used the journaling space to write friendship notes, and scripture.
Here is the Monday page! The album consists of four pages, front and back. My crop a dile was used to punch the hole for book ring. Velvet ribbon is tied onto the ring for embellishment.
And yet two more pages of the album. The journaling cards are trimmed down a bit to fit the pages, enabling more of that gorgeous Webster paper to be seen!
