Hi Everyone, Thanks for the great ideas in the last 24 hours! I am really enjoying the creative concepts that you are posting. I think in general, the first few entries are nailing the color scheme and some of the most important elements of celebrating my 40th. Go ahead and get a little more sexy, let out your inner Brr-yaa-yaa! (but keep it sexy, sultry, not... slutty - I want my grandmother (85) who still is an awesome dancer to see these invitations and not freak out.) I listed #18 as first, because, I like the concept of adding the woman to the design, however, it would be great to see this changed to a mermaid. I know mixing mexicana/chicana with a mermaid might seem a little strange, but it is pretty common in San Diego - think Acapulco or Cabo San Lucas. I am ranking #20 and #14 as the 2nd place concept idea. The loteria card idea is wonderful! I love the fonts used but I would love to see a mermaid in there somehow. I love #17, the mermaid in the wine glass and the palm tree & lowrider car are all awesome details! I would be interested in seeing the fonts in all old english style, the colors more limited to my suggested ones.
Muchas Gracias a todos! - I am really appreciative of the energy and talent that I am seeing. I look forward to what you post next.
