Eden has long been interested in makeup. Mum sent me a photo of her current favourite brand, Huda Beauty and I added a tiny eye-shadow palette in similar colours, makeup brushes and a lipstick. A big number 20 marks her age.
Ella and Shai recently moved in to their first home together so Ella's parents asked me to make the the young couple a "Happy New Home" card. They were very specific with their request. I should show the couple outside a house - not an apartment - holding the key to their front door. There should also be a sign outside saying "Welcome to Givon" (Givon is an Israel settlement northwest of Jerusalem). I am not sure that the "house" I illustrated looks exactly like the one that the couple now live in but you get the idea...
Finally Emily, our third young lady with a name beginning with 'E', was turning 23. Her auntie requested a card using a Bongo's Bingo theme. Apparently Bongo's Bingo consists of several rounds of bingo interspersed with rave intervals, dance-offs and catwalks down tables. It's essentially bingo played over pitchers of cocktails and beer, with frantic dancing to 90s pop music and celebrity entertainment.
Of course, I'd never heard of it!
I created a card with some cocktail glasses, music notes and bingo balls on it. The eagle-eyed among you might notice that all the balls mark Emily's age!

Great cards. Bongo's Bingo is new to me too - not at all like the game my aunties used to play! xx
I love your cards as usual. I have never heard of Bongo Bingo but that sounds like a lot of fun. Happy Thursday to you!
nice cards filled with such beauty thanks for sharing and I am sure the new owners will love them as well

All three are nice.
All the best to you!
I've never heard of Bongos Bingo either, sounds fun though. Love the detail in the uniform with the cord. Thank you for joining in with #pocolo and hope to see you back in 2 weeks, keep well
Home sweet home! Charming card. Have a sunny Sunday.
Of course, my attention goes to the first girl. Hard to imagine young women in the Army. Don't know if that is ever going to happen in the USA. The girls are so pampered here, most of them living like a princess and protected like one. A new home is an excellent occasion for your card. Do you now have less business in this time, or? Many thanks of sharing with all Seasons the opportunities you have. Wishing you a very good week and inspiration, Jesh
I am sure your cards are a bright spot in the lives of those who arrange for them, and those who receive them. - Margy
