I made the toilet tissue tube book for my DH's birthday, which is today. Inside the tubes are just different words of encouragement, since last year at this time he was in the hospital with a very serious illness. He's been recuperating this year and still has a ways to go with physical therapy. So, using the Sense of Time set seemed appropriate for his birthday. Other sets used for the words were: Outlined for fun, Full of life, Happy everything and Sweet serendipity. Fun project to make for my birthday guy. And I think this paper makes the project look more masculine.
Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday to Mr Susie Nelson!
You are right: that paper is really great for a masculine look, but it is cheery at the same time. Very nice way to use the pattern in combination with so many different stamp sets, to make a message-carrying gift. That's why we *need* to have all of these things, right? ;)
