I have shown mum with a bar of chocolate in one hand and a big slice of cake in the other. On the left of her card I have added a computer with a picture of a cruise ship on the screen, Hull City's current logo, featuring a tiger's head in an amber shield, and a television with Bargain Hunt showing on it. Her son told me that mum likes to watch Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Neighbours and Bargain Hunt! To the right, below the number 70, is a little table piled with treats since she enjoys being taken out, and below that, a small Sudoku and crossword puzzle.
"I got the card this morning. It's great. Thank you." my customer wrote to me, then followed up to tell me that his mum really liked the card.I included all these things on his birthday card. You can see the cholent and potatoes to the top left. Below them is a megaphone to represent his love of public speaking. The Yad Vashem logo (Yad Vashem literally means "a monument and a name"), a map of Australia, and a black and white photo of the Beatles follow. From the top right I have added his company logo, a classical guitar and some music notes. A big red number 60 marks his age.
"I never told you how much Michael appreciated the card." my friend later told me.

Wonderful cards - I think if one was done for me it would also include cake and chocolate! xx
Love the little Australia map!
So much detail and thought goes into each of your cards!
I love the personal cards. They are really a heartfelt gift. Happy Crafting, Kippi #kippiathome
So many fun details on these cards. My 70th one would probably look a lot like the one here, especially the chocolate part!
Your cards are so beautiful and creative! Love how they tie in with what the recipient likes! Sim xx #PoCoLo
The lady in the first card has so amiable eyes!
I love all the detail you put in your cards. They must make such thoughtful cards as well as feeling like a gift. Both cards are eye catching and make you look more closely. #MMBC

These are do creative, a wonderful way to capture the personality of the recipient
Again a wonderful card! Very nice.
oh yes, a cake in one hand a bar of chocolate in the other...that would please me. Then the Beatles and the guitar, you've pleased my husband too. Wonderful creative cards, only you could make potatoes look good on a birthday card.

Both nice cards, Lisa! I like the husband's one - so many activities! And the stew shimmered over 12 hrs. -that makes so much sense, if you can't cook on the Sabbath:) Many thanks for sharing -and you were the first one!
Wonderful, wonderful I was just going to ask what a 60 card looked like. Wish I had thought of asking you sooner about a card for my cousin. For some reason, she's bummed about turning 61.
These cards that you make are so special. I bet a lot of them are framed and treasured for a long time.
I wonder how Hull FC are doing these days, it's not an internationally known top club is it? !
