I'm convinced the weeks fly by faster & faster as time marches on! Another week has flown by and here we are with another Stamp Simply Ribbon Inspiration Saturday! This week we are featuring LACE!
There are lots of pictures today showing you a Graphic45 Staples, their envelope six pocket kraft album that I covered with Graphic45 Once Upon a Springtime papers! I added the year 2012 because this is a Gratitude Album for 2012 that will be gifted to my daughter! There are six envelopes, each envelope contains two index cards with corresponding months and days to write at least one thing every day of the year that she is grateful for!
The 8x8 Once Upon a Springtime paper pad is on sale! This is a peek at the album back. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that 1/4" ringlet trim for edging!
Inside the front top flap shows the adhesive Velcro dot and the ringlet trim again. The bow embellishment on the front flap features 7/8" white crochet lace for the bow with a suede leaf and chenille dot ribbon pressed onto a trimmed down Cosmo Cricket Gluber!
This pocket flap is edged with 3/4" lace with pearl center. There is a suede leaf to the right side of the crochet lace flower. The 1 1/2 " pink lace is folded in half and hand sewn to gather center thus creating the round blossom.
More of the 3/4" lace with pearl center trimming the flap and making the bow located in the lower right hand corner of this envie page.
More 7/8" crochet lace with 1/8" velvet ribbon inserted down the ribbon center. I had just a tiny piece of the crochet lace left so I created an embellishment by sewing the edge and gathering! 
This lace comes to us off a Webster's Pages Ribbon Trim Card! The small blossom is created using 5/8" sheer loop trim!
And the final page uses one of my all time favorites, 1/4" ringlet trim! I created a flower by sticking it around in a circular fashion onto a Cosmo Cricket gluber! I LOVE it! It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day living this life that we forget to pause and Be Grateful! I think this little gratitude album will help to remember just that! A favorite saying of mine that reflects along the same line of thought- What if we woke up today with only the things we thanked God for yesterday?
And here is the LACE Ribbon goodness that will be won by commenting on the designer's blogs listed below! You may want to comment on each one, because it increases your chances of winning! Good Luck! The blog candy winner will be selected at 6pm EST on Tuesday, September 27 and posted on Sharon's BLOG on Tuesday night or Wednesday, so please check to see if you're the lucky winner!

This is a really cute little project. You've used a whole variety of lace, each one slightly different. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love this idea of a gratitude album. I think you may have solved my Christmas gift dilema. Beautiful, eligant combinations on each folder. TFS
Oh Barb! This is just beautiful. Great project!
Totally fabulous project!!

This is such a wonderful idea and I love how you covered each individual pocket. Definitely need to copy it!
WOW! That is the first word that comes to mind. LOVE! That is the second word that comes to mind...you must love your daughter so very much to make such a thoughtful gift for her! I keep a Gratitude list...but large and out in the open so that I can be reminded of His Goodness every time I pass it. This is absolutely beautiful! I love lace, and you used it to it's full potential. I love how much you love that ringlet trim...and it is contagious...I love it, too! This is one of the nicest gifts I have seen...and it is so important to be reminded of the things in our live that we are grateful for...not just at Thanksgiving...but daily. And, this is beautiful, page by page! I like the idea of carrying a year at a time! It is a wonderful thing to remind her to look through if she is tested by storms during the year. Well done!
Thank you for sharing! I would like to CASE the idea. There is no way I could CASE each page. May I? Thank you so much!
He IS Able!
