Manly House Mouse?

This week at House Mouse Monday Challenge the challenge is to make something masculine. I thought ok, I can get the masculine looking paper together and even come up with an idea of what to make, but what HM stamp do I chose to make it manly enough? So that's what I did this time I found the paper, made the notebook and then found the stamp - Amanda Writes that would make it all work. I decided to not color the image so it would have more of a vintage/distressed look. I inked around the edge of the image and the notebook to give it a distressed look. I found the tutorial for these notebooks at chic N scratch. These sure are fun to make! The best part, I made the notebook all from scrap paper! It's funny I had to ask Tim what a guy would use a notebook for and he said phone numbers. I said golf scores? Mileage? He said yeah. So I decided to go with a notebook.Here is the first one I made. I used BG Periphery for this one, the dimensional stickers are from K& Company and are the perfect colors for this. It was a little difficult for me to find the perfect ribbon, if it was the right color then of course I didn't have enough of it! Now I need to get me some more of these rectangle coasters.


That's it for today. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!
