Nick has created a card for our friend Bev's sweet sixteen Hawaiian birthday party this summer. Her mom gave us a very cool 60's sleeveless dress with a wild pattern, and we tore that up (reluctantly...I have a certain very stylish daughter who loves vintage and who would have looked fabulous in that dress!!)
We followed suit by adding orange, hot pink and yellow tissue and some yellow string. Here is a shot of some of the cards ready to go to the presses. Before they are pressed, they look curly and I'm always scared that they won't flatten, but the awesome presses that Dad created always do the job!
Bev, we wish you a very happy sixteenth birthday - you have been a sweetheart and a wonderful friend to Nick!

I have a strong urge for pineapple and mango right about now. :)
these cards are awesome! 32 days until i get to see you guys! :)
Oh Maggie, we can't wait till you are here!
fxmom, thanks for the compliment! They are bright and sunny and we think Bev will really like them.
MI, we do too! We're glad it's spring because produce is looking really good now!
I still think that once in a while that Nick should do a collage piece for framing, a larger one. I betcha those would fetch a nice price!
I love that idea, MI, and we will definitely do a large piece for the auction! How bout that?
Readers, why don't you let us know which of our designs would translate to a nice framed work.
Puzzle pieces?
