Hubby's Birthday Card

I toiled for days on a handmade card for my husband's birthday and he was very happy with it.  He did not put it out on display and when I asked where "my special card" and all his other cards where he told me he had put them in his drawer!  Men! I just have to laugh! 

To make the card, I used Tim Holtz's Advantus Idea-ology collection, Lost and Found collection, gadget gears and umbrella man alteration dies, filmstrip and ruler ribbons, vintage photo distress inks.  The handwritten letter is from 7 gypsies Borough collection.  I also used a Jenni Bowlin date ticket, a Ranger #10 manila tag, Magenta chipboard filmstrip and a Jillibean Soup corrugated heart.  The umbrella man was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The stamped hand image is from PaperArtsy.  The stamped happy birthday sentiment and bar code image were borrowed from a friend.
