The card shows Saba and Safta (the Hebrew word for Grandmother) along with 4 of their grandchildren and their son. I made sure to match hair styles and colours carefully, checked the colours of their eyes and the patterns on their shirts.
My customer reported that Saba "loved it!".
A few weeks later it was Safta's turn to celebrate and once again my customer put me to test! This time the photo she sent me showed Safta and her grandchildren having fun on some playground equipment. I was amused to see a little Gruffalo in the photo too. It must have been taken at Purim, a Jewish holiday where customs include wearing masks and costumes to public celebrations and parades.Safta's daughter-in-law asked me to put a 71 somewhere on the card and a birthday cake too.
I hope Safta liked this little reminder of a fun occasion!

you know how to add a lot of life to your cards! both are great!
You did such a great job recreating those photos in card form!
This is just awesome!
You are so creative. - Margy
Both of them are amazing!!
Very challenging requests, but you did them both beautifully. I love the Gruffalo! :O) xx
It is really fantastic that you can make your cards so personal! How long in advance would I need to order a card? #pocolo
Oh wow! This is just brilliant Lisa. Being able to create a person from a photograph is one thing but creating a whole scene is something else! You are so talented. x
What a challenge, but with such lovely photos, I can see why they chose these ones. I love that I've leant a bit of Hebrew too. #mmbc
You are so skilful in making these cute cards! Looks fabulous. Congratulatons to the birthday heroes.
wow, amazing job! great to see you on craft schooling Sunday, thanks for sharing!
A charming family card! I will have to make something for my daughter who is 30 tomorrow!
Sweet! I heard about the fires in your part of the world, I hope that you are well and safe.

Your cards could easily be photographs!
Glad you were up to the challenge. I guess a whole group is harder than a personalized card, eh? The second is very fun, especially now I've seen the original image. Great job Lisa! Thank you for also sharing your challenges to All Seasons, and have a relaxing week, Jesh
Lisa, these cards are amazing! They will be featured in this week’s Creative Compulsions.

This is wonderful. Love how you recreated the photo.
That is one heck of a challenge but you rose to it really well, love the cards, especially the one in the park. Thanks for joining in with #pocolo
Wonderfully done!
Its amazing how your cutouts are so near-perfect - down to the very details of the cake. You are very talented.
Thank you for sharing with us at Meraki Link Party.
