Mum was delighted and messaged me to say that the card was "another success".
Daniel, and his brothers, receive birthday cards made by me every year. Their Mum says that it has become part of the family's birthday celebrations. Some months ago she sent me this wonderful photo to show me how Daniel was decorating his bedroom. He had lined up all the cards I have made for him over the years, and they were on the wall next to his Manchester City poster. A great honour indeed!
Mum also celebrated her birthday some time ago. Even though she orders the cards for her sons', I always do my best to remember her big day too. This year I decided to make her a papercut card, cutting out her name by hand from white stock then lining the card with a bright pink paper inlay. She was very happy to receive it.

I love the way you individualize each card.
Amazing cards...
Wonderful cards, all of them! Daniel is a lucky boy: In your cards he has a lovely series of memories.
To me the bike looks like a mountain bike. In summer, all I would like to do is to ride my mountain bike up and down some small roads. :)
Have a great new week! xx
Well done as always! I love all the details with the bike rider. :) Very cute.
Love these ... lots of thought into each one. Happy Monday!
Your story about Daniel and his brothers, who have your cards line up in their room, made me realize how much kids appreciate your work, they see it as a present, and how it gives them a boost in their self-esteem!
It brings to my memory, that I made a watercolor card once for a friend's graduation, because I had forgotten to buy one, and he went on and on about it (he happened to by a Brit:) )
Thank you for bringing them to ALL SEASONS, and have a Spring-y week!
I love your bicyclist card. Any bicyclist, of any age, would love it.
How sweet, Lisa. He is so cute on his bike. Boys and their football!

Amazing details!
You must be very proud - the wall of cards is a fine tribute to your craftsmanship. xx
So adorable! I need to hire you to make my greeting cards.
Very nice, both!
What a fabulous family tradition!
What beautiful cards, you are very talented.
It's so lovely that all of those cards have been kept through the years too :)
Thanks so much for sharing with #MMBC. Hope to see you Monday x
