a trio for a friend

my friend mary made a special request for some collaged greeting cards. i like randomly mixing and matching different patterns and textures like this.

mary and i have been friends since the 7th grade...yikes, we're talking 35 years!! we are also part of a larger circle of girlfriends that have been close since junior high and high school...some of us even since grade school. we all live pretty different lives and we don't get to see each other very often...but when we do get together, it's just like old times. we used to have big slumber parties, or we'd all pile into one car to cruise the strip, there was lots of singing and dancing, loads of laughter, and some heartfelt tears too. we are planning a girl's weekend this summer and i can't wait to see everyone!
