In order to help my family make giving thanks a priority, I created this Family Gratitude Album, using Little Yellow Bicycle's Hello Fall collection. I tied a bit of ribbon to the binder rings on this album, as a way to display it. It hangs at our front entryway, welcoming guests who visit our home. I absolutely love the rich autumnal colors in this line, and aren't those felt flowers yummy? Also, each spread includes envelopes I created using a printable envelope template I got from Mel Stampz (http://melstampz.blogspot.com/2008/07/5-12-inch-square-envelope-template-lots.html [melstampz.blogspot.com] I used the 4.75" square template and scaled it down slightly to a 4.5" size). I used Tombow's Fastener Tabs on the inside of the envelope flaps. These self-adhesive hook and loop fasteners are great for keeping the flaps closed. Inside the little envelopes, is each family member's list of things for which they are grateful. I used some pre-printed journal cards from Little Yellow Bicycle (Say What? Journal Tablet: Gratitude), but you could print your own, or have family members write a personal note on coordinating patterned paper.
