Thank you Angie, for such eye candy this week in the Paper Source link! Soooo many cool choices. And once again the Cavallini products...I must confess to having several Tea Towels in my possession! But tonight it was this Couple Chairs Invitationthat caught my eye. I needed a hip hip hooray card to encourage someone at work. 3 Chairs to {U}.
My card is a case of derck's Happy Birthday by derck. I loved her layout, changed it to only 3 patterned strips, used a rectangle instead of a circle, keeping the basic design. The chairs were paper pieced from the Marrakech Basic Grey as well as the strips. I used the Flourishes hip hip hooray as well as a quote inside regarding what chairs do for us by Thoreau:
A house needs these chairs:
Ones for solitude,
Ones for friendship and
Then those for society!
I have way too many chairs in my house, my garden, my stamp collection...but I'd like to think I'm ready for whoever knocks on my door...thanks for stopping by and always...your comments are a gift!
Hope you find a comfy chair to sit a spell...

This is so cute, Susan! I love your 3 comfy chairs & the paper strips really add color & interest. I also LOVE BG paper..I'm still hoarding quite a bit.

Your wit and charm hit you even early in the morning. This is so darn cute. I love the three chairs, and that you used 3 design paper stripes to repeat that 3-ness is so clever. And then that simple sentiment of hip, hip hooray is just the perfect finishing touch. Love it all and it is in my favorites.

A terrific and appealing card, Susan. Like the seating elements which makes one think of sitting down for a chat. Your co-worker will appreciate your kind thoughts....and artistic efforts.
