This is for today's SC748 challenge. I made this for my DH who is having a hard time staying positive these days; and while he is going through a storm which may never pass, he is forgetting to live for today.
Thanks for taking a closer look. I appreciate it.

I DO love the umbrella man, and the saying that goes with him. Great card for any guy!

Wonderful card for your husband which he surely will appreciate. Barb, you know my thoughts on TH's "umbrella man" as when I gave you my die of the same...... so I won't comment on him. But you did use the sketch so well.

Life can certainly be difficult at times, but it is important to not lose focus on what you have today. Beautiful card, Barb. I like all the texture and stamping directly onto the dp.
This brought back memories of when it took over 5 years to get pregnant with son #2. God showed me that I was so consumed with what I didn't have, I was missing out on the toddler son that I did have.

So sorry you DH is going through a rough time, and by extension, you will also be challenged and stressed. The sentiment is a great one. I love that umbrella man, the subtle bg and the embellisment.

Wow this is cool! The paper you used to stamp on is not easy to stamp on! You did a fabulous job, and I love your paper clip element!!
