I personally would not use lace on an outer cover, unless it were under
plastic.
But decorating inner pages with lace would be great. For the cover you might

I'd make a fabric bookcover, and sew the lace to that. You could make
it like a library book, with thinnish plastic bookcover over the (paper
in their case) fabric and lace one. That would protect the lace from
in-and-out abrasion. Or move the scrapbooks from that style of storage
