Two by Two

The latest requests for custom-made cards came in two's. The cards above are for twin boys who are turning 2. They are not identical - one with very curly hair and one with straight hair - and I was asked to create cards showing, on the left, a favourite tricycle, and on the right, a much loved baseball mit and ball and a plastic bar of butter that apparently gets carried around the house! In the few years I have been making custom-made cards for people I have never been asked to create a card for a camel lover either. The card below is for a retired road traffic authority worker who is fascinated with camels.
Happy Birthday to the twin boys who are turning 2 and to the man who loves the animals with 2 humps!

Oh that is so funny!!! My Benjamin used to carry around a toy spoon and fork when he was a toddler. One day he was having shoes fitted and he was perched up on the high seat with his hand raised slightly utensils in the ready and the sales assistant said "read for any possible eating opportunity" ... that was him to a tee!!! What a great way to remember these lovely traits and loves!!! Good on you Lisa!

Now I don't mean to be rude...you know that! But how much do you charge for your cards? I have NEVER heard of a card designer who is prepared to go to such lengths to personalise their work! You're amazing! Jen
