Any of you who have followed me for a while know that I struggle with the "masculine" theme...so thanks Pauline  (Pauline does the most fabulous male cards) for giving me that push that I SO needed!!
 
EEEEKKKS here is my "masculine" card...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
my youngest Son's birthday was January 12th...we have yet to celebrate as a family because he's been too busy with FUN weekends...lol!!!
so I went through my House Mouse drawer and came upon the most PERFECT image for both Pauline's theme and my Son's birthday...
this is "Mice on Ice" HMTR1003...
how perfect is this image for the boy who has been having FUN winter weekends...
 I just love this part of the image...licorice drops as hockey pucks...lol...
I made the twig hockey stick like these sweet little mice are using out of Delight molding clay as well as the pucks...
 birthday sentiment and balloon stamp is by Whimsy...
inside...
the "wood grain" matts were made using Tim Holtz wood grain embossing folder...
 closer...
