There are so many pretty things at the Layla Grace website. Since I needed to make a masculine card for my stepson's 40th birthday, inspiration had to come from something manly: Here it is: http://www.laylagrayce.com/Products/...CA3649775.aspx, a brown striped rug. Pat, my stepson, plays bass and I always try to make a music-themed card for him. The center strip was made with one of SU's standard wheels, but I cannot remember the name of it.

What an awesome musical card! I think it's already challenging enough to go masculine, but adding the musical theme could make it even tougher. You have managed to handle both themes so well.
