Stay Wild

 I ordered this stamp set last year but hadn't inked it up yet. When I realized I needed a stocking stuffer for my son, I knew I needed to pull this one out to embellish a matchbook notepad that I made. The paper is by DCWV from their Green Stack, and I used the Stay Wild stamp set by Spellbinders. These matchbook notebooks are a great way to use up patterned papers that you have in your stash, as long as they have a white backing. I used a combination of patterned papers with the white side turned to the front, and some brown text weight papers that coordinate well with the rustic stamp set.  The funny thing is that my husband thought this bear was skateboarding,, and when I took another look, I can kind of see why!

 This is what it looks like inside. The papers are held inside by the brads, and when you are done using a page, you tear it out.

Time Out challenge, something new. This is a new stamp set and a new project type for me.
