Well, Hello everyone! Today's card is extra special for two reasons. One is because a dear friend/co - worker of mine is the recipient. He got really sick about a month ago and was in and out of ICU at a local hospital with pneumonia. It did NOT look good for a few weeks, but he is pretty much all better and he came back to work yesterday!!! I made this card for him and brought him his favorite snacks from Panera and Krispy Kreme. He was missed at work and his wife (who happens to work with MY husband in the other building..lol), has really been taking on a lot at home. She's a great lady! The other reason it's special is because it is my entry into the first group Papertrey Posse Challenge! This month was a sketch challenge. I loved the sketch. It's such a simple, but detailed sketch. The little curve at the top, the panel across the middle, the buttons..so many little things that bring the sketch to life! Thanks, Jessica!! It's so exciting. Our little group is a great bunch of ladies! So much talent and so sweet to boot! If you have time and would like to play along with any of our challenges (1 big one per month and 2 smaller ones on the 1st and 3rd Fridays), please do. We'd love to have you!
Oh, guess what? I'm ordering my new baby today. Yep, I finally bit the bullet and will upgrad my first gen iPhone to this new iPhone 4! Today is pre-order day and the little bundle of joy will come next Thursday! Actually, I am getting two. One for me (birthday) and one for hubby (Father's Day). A black one and a white one...we're so happy! We're nerds!
Ok, well have a great day!

Great card Keva, I love the hounds tooth! Glad your co-worker is feeling better too!
Great job with this sketch Keva! Sounds like this card has already found its home. So glad to hear that your co-worker is recovering. You know you are really making me want to buy Chair-rished!
Have fun with your new iPhones!
Keva this is sooooo cute!! I love that patterned paper, and the chair and sentiment are just perfect! So glad that your friend is doing better!
I love the chair !!!! Great card and I am a nerd too ...... I cannot wait for the kiddies to to start bathing themselves so I can finally get a cool phone....... I keep dropping mine in the tub so I do not want to invest the money yet !!! Tell me how you like it.
So cute, love your papers!!
Enjoy your new toys!
Love that houndstooth chair! I'll bet that your coworker will appreciate the card (and all those goodies that came with it too). Jealous of your new iPhones....I want one too (my cell phone is broke)!
Love the chair!! And that other background....(dont' know the name of it) but it looks amazing!
Great card, Keva!! Love that chair!
Glad to hear your friend is feeling better and back at work.
What a cool card, love the pattern on the chair!!
Keva, this is a definite favorite of mine. The shape. The colours. The chair. Everything is fantastic!! And that paper?!? I'm gonna have to track some of that down.
Fabulous card, Keva! Love that chair, the paper, and the layout! My DH and I are nerds, too - we have matching Palm Pre phones, LOL!
Great card Keva! So glad to hear your friend is ok! (And lucky girl on the iphone too!) :)
Love your card, Keva! Nice and masculine!!
That is one fun chair! Cute!
This is lovely - I love that sentiment.
AWESOME Keva, love the "fabric" on that chair ;)
Hey, nerds are good! Where would the world be without us nerds? *smile* Love your hounds tooth chair and glad to hear your co-worker is better. That is a scary thing.
I really like this card. It's not a color scheme that i would be brave enough to attempt. You have inspired me!
Hi Keva! I'm so jealous of your iPhone! I have a first generation also, but haven't been able to get on the website for upgrade. Hopefully sometime this week! :)
Gorgeous card...love the colors!
