Talia celebrated her Bat Mitzvah first. A Jewish girl typically becomes a Bat Mitzvah when she turns 12. Talia likes bike riding and was getting a new teal coloured bike for her birthday. She is also into Lego, likes music, she does hip hop style dancing and she loves flowers. Oh, and of course, her iPhone is important to her too! Nomi told me that Talia's favourite colour is purple.
I showed curly-haired Talia hip hop dancing on her card. She has her iPhone in her hand. Behind her are some music notes and her new bike. In front of her I cut out some tiny pieces of Lego and added some flowers. The number 12 marks her age.
Coby, my friend's oldest nephew, loves bike riding with his friends. She mentioned the name of a particular canal in Victoria where he likes to hang out. He also favours Champion branded clothing.On his Bar Mitzvah card I showed Coby on his black bike. He is wearing a grey Champion T-shirt. Behind him is a photo of the canal. Jewish boys become Bar Mitzvah at 13, so a big red number 13 marks his age.
Finally, Orly, Coby's sister, was Bat Mitzvah. She loves cheerleading, doing TikTok dances and talking to and FaceTiming with her friends. She also plays the guitar. I asked my friend to find out what Orly wears for cheerleading and recreated her blue and gold dress out of paper. She has a gold pom pom in one hand and her guitar in the other. Then I added the TikTok and FaceTime logos and a little phone with her friends faces on the screen.
Nomi told me that they all loved their cards!

What a great idea. It’s so sad that we are so far apart from one another and we feel it even more when we have to miss special occasions and milestones.
Amazing how you captured their youthful exuberance in motion!
You made them look so active and alive, Lisa. Beautiful cards.

All 3 are great cards and very expressive of their personalities but my fav is the girl dancing for sure.
These cards are just beautiful! I love how you captured all the little pieces of your kids lives onto the card!
These are so fun!!
Great cards and what a good idea to scan them. Fingers crossed that this vaccine does the trick and we can all go back to celebrating these special occasions as they ought to be celebrated. xx
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cards with us at Encouraging Hearts and Home. Pinned.
So full of life these 12 and 13 year olds:) They make me laugh. Am glad I don't have to put up with their age anymore, haha. What a wonderful idea to scan them, so at least they could see the card you made for them! Had no idea no mail came to Australia came for some time. Luckily that time is over now! Have a beautiful week, Lisa. Jesh
I missed my grandson's barmitzvah in Israel because of Covid, and although we sent a lovely present, it was not the same as flying into Tel Aviv and celebrating together. I should have given you photos of the grandson enjoying himself on Australian beaches or playing Australian football.. a personalised image would have been ideal.
