My last couple of custom orders have been for boys. Yep, not a flower nor teddy bear in sight! The card above was made for a twelve year old boy who was getting an iPod touch for his birthday and has recently taken up tennis. I delivered the card via his sister, who seemed delighted with it, and remembered all the cards I had made previously for her brother's birthdays. I hope that the birthday boy liked it too. His mum tells me that her kids have come to expect a personalised 'Handmade in Israel' card every time. Good news for me!
These birthday-cum-Barmitzvah cards were created for twin boys who recently turned 13, and will soon celebrate their Barmitzvahs. It was requested that I not go with a religious theme, but rather illustrate the football mad boys favourite teams. The red Liverpool shirt was easy. The stripes on the Bolton shirt required a little more attention, but I always persevere and often get carried away with all the little details. I added some long football socks to match the shirts this time as well.Congratulations to all the boys on the happy occasion of their birthdays. I hope you enjoyed your special days.

Hi Lisa, a great shop as always.
May you be inscribed and sealed in the book of Life.

You make such great cards.
Hmm, how come no one gives me an ipod?
What a wonderful keepsakes for those boys. If I were their mum I tuck them away somewhere safe. Just beautiful Lisa.
