60th Birthday Party

My dad's 60th birthday party was this past weekend and a special birthday deserves a special cake!  Sweet Indulgences in Grapevine made this 3D taxi cab cake for us and it turned out great!  Although the party wasn't a surprise, the cake was a big surprise!  It was red velvet, my dad's favorite (and mine!), and it tasted as good as it looked!
I made a 60 to hang on the wall with new prints made from old pictures of him, inspired by something similar in the current Martha Stewart Living.  I added borders to make it fun and converted some images to black and white.  I designed his birthday card to resemble a Jack Daniel's label, printed with a linen texture.
