Tim Holtz and Graphic 45 were the inspiration for this masculine Mileage Journal and Note Pad set.
The background embossing is from Tim Holtz Alterations “Gears”. The old cars on this book are from Graphic 45’s “A Proper Gentleman” paper pad. The old license plates are from Tim Holtz “Lost and Found”. The covers of each of these hand crafted books are made using heavy weight corrugated cardboard and quality bookbinding glue.
I have attached a Tim Holtz metal clock face and an old style skeleton key to the front of the Mileage Journal. Each have been secured using E6000 adhesive for a strong hold. This set can be found at my Etsy store if you are interested in having this three piece set. The set includes the Mileage Journal, coordinating Note Pad, and a pen.
Each book has a binder clip to hold your place. Chuck the Mileage Journal onto the dashboard of the truck and have no worries about losing your place. Keep the page in the Note Pad easy to get to if you have to follow hand written directions to the pick up or delivery location.
This set of journals have areas to write all of the necessary information for each load in the Drive-Away trucking industry.
This set was a little on the difficult side to create. I was sorely tempted to keep adding stuff to the covers. Keeping them simple almost didn’t happen ;-).
Thank you for looking.
