This is such a wonderful sentiment:
I am the Nursery Leader at my church. Every Sunday I spend two hours with all the 18 month to 3 year olds in our congregation. My DH is there with me and so is Bruce. Bruce is one of the kindest men you’ll ever meet. He has 9 children of his own (count the birds on the wire), but they are grown. And so now every Sunday he helps take care of others’ little ones. This card was made for Bruce’s birthday.
The timepiece image was stamped in gray. The man and umbrella image was stamped with Versafine “Onyx Black” combined with VersaMark and then embossed with a clear embossing powder.
Thanks for dropping by and spending some of your time with me today.
Happy Crafting!

This is one fantastic card with a heart-warming sentiment that just touches my heart! I love the significance of 9 birds on the wire. A perfect card for someone who has so much to give!
Susan, this card is awesome…..I LOVE it! What a great card to give to this nice man and it’s great that y’all minister to the little ones. What a ministry!
I’m sure he will love this card! What a guy!!
This card is fantastic! I love the saying of it! Bruce will love it! He is so lucky to have wonderful people like you and your huband, Susan!
OH Susan, so heartfelt and lovely and wonderful! What a wonderful sentiment too.
Big blessings on those hours you spend with the littlest ones!
ohh! That is such a wonderful man card and how sweet of you!! Now that I’ve been in cub scouts for the last two years I really miss nursery… 🙂
Susan, this is the best masculine card I have seen! The sentiment touched my heart. Gorgeous masculine birthday card and your design is phenomenal.
Susan, this is one of my most fav Tim Holtz set quotes. I’ve never seen the man with the umbrella…your card is just stunning and so personal. He is sure to love it.
What a great card. Reminds me of Charlie Chaplin or am I nuts or something??? Love the phrase and the 9 birds are great for your friend. Awesome. Pat
Oh wow I work with the same age group at my church but I do the sunday evening service so I am only there for about 1 1/2 hours. I love that group because they are just learning to talk and are growing into their personalities 🙂
This card is just perfect! Love it!
Not that is a beautiful card. I really like the sentiment , color combination and the stamps that you used. Really nice
What a lovely card you have made. I love this sentement too and actually used the same sentement for a set of cards I made last year, with a different images. I love the added touch you have done with the nine birds on the wire. I’m sure he will be delighted with his card. Thank you for sharing your delightful card.
WOW so COOL!
This is so cool. Bruce is going to love it. Very neat embossing and a really cool guy card.
Wow is he going to love this. What a great way to use all these elements and pull them into one great card.. I LOVE the sentiment.. Great job.
I love this card, Susan –how you added nine birds is such a great personal touch, and the way you left part of the unbrella ‘outside the box’ is so unique! Wonderful sentiment, though I’d add that how one lives has everything to do with what we leave behind. 😉
Your infants/toddlers at church are very blessed to have caregivers such as you three. Happy birthday to Bruce!
And Happy (ongoing -lol) Fall to you, Susan! Hope you’re not too tired of it…. ;P
hugs,
Christi
Oh Susan… what a sweet looking card for a sweet sounding man!! I am sure he’ll love it!!
Susan, this is wonderful! It is so great that you and your dh work in the nursery at your church, too. Those can be quite busy and hectic on Sundays. Great card for Bruce! Wonderful image and the sentiment is very poignant. Great design, embossing, and out of the frame detailing. Awesome card!
What a fabulous guy card, Susan…the man image looks sooo cool and what a great idea to add the 9 birds!!! The sentiment couldn’t be any more perfect!!!
Hi Susan!! Lovin this card! Very nicely done!
This is AWESOME!
LOVE this!! I have these stamps sitting here, never used. Loved them so much that I had to have them, but… Now you are totally inspiring me to get them out and USE THEM!
What a COOL card! Love it!!!
