I love this new set from Papertrey Ink so much as it centers on something I find so important...gratitude. Dawn McVey's new set called Gratitude Journal is the perfect way to jump start positive thinking and expressions of gratitude. The more we are thankful for what we have been given, the happier we are and our outlook changes, so yes, I have many reasons for loving this set.
For my project, I created a notebook holder that can remain out in the open and where 10 things, big or small, can be written each day to remind me of the tender mercies and blessings I have been given. The Papertrey Ink Paper Basic Notepads are the perfect size and place to start making your gratitude list.
I used Papertrey Ink's Kraft and Vintage Cream cardstock, Spring Moss, and Aqua Mist ink, tea stained fabric, scrunched seam binding from Memriemare, and paper from Girls' Paperie, Basic Grey, and Lily Bee Designs.
The other designers have created more to inspire you:

- Lisa Johnson
- Betsy Veldman
- Michelle Wooderson
- Maile Belles
- Jessica Witty
- Erin Lincoln

Love your post! You are sooo inspirational! Just curious how you made that first little house -it looks like a piece of wood almost? Or thick chipboard? It is so adorable!

Thanks for such a simple and beautiful inspiration using the Gratitude Journal stamp set. This is a journal I think I could really use... I already have a small stash of the notepads so I'll be ready as soon as my August release order arrives to get started!
