Ma'ayan was turning 18. In the past I have made her
netball
themed cards. This year mum asked for one with a makeup theme. She wanted me
to create a card with lipstick, eyeshadows and brushes on it. I was also to
add the badge of Ma'ayan's
mechina (pre-army
programme) and the insignia of the
Israeli Defence Forces
(IDF), since she will be enlisting soon.
I have shown Ma'ayan with some makeup brushes in her hand. She is surrounded
by various eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks and brushes. Mum said that she's
not a fan of pink, so I steered away from that colour and added browns and
blues instead. A big number 18 marks her age.
Mum told me that she loved the card.
Ella was turning 20.
Last year
I showed her in her olive green army uniform. She is still a soldier but when
she's home she is into keeping fit. Every day Ella does one hour of exercise,
dancing in front of the TV to the Fitness Marshall, a channel founded by Los Angeles-based fitness star Caleb Marshall.
His videos have garnered over 2.5 million subscribers!
Mum sent me various photos of Ella in action. I copied her exercise clothes,
even down to the trainers. The TV on the wall shows the Fitness Marshall
team in action. A big number 20 marks Ella's age.
Galia receives of one of my cards every birthday. Last year her new puppy featured on her card. This year mum asked for a card with a yoga theme. I have shown brown-haired Galia in a yoga pose. I kept the background simple but added a lotus flower which, to a yogi, symbolises the expansion of the soul and spiritual awakening.
Mum was delighted with it. "The card is fantastic. Absolutely love it. You are so talented." she wrote to me.

The makeup palet is amazing!
You really captured these individuals!
It's always fascinating to see the growth of children and young people in your cards. They're like "snapshots" of their lives.
These must be wonderful keepsakes. It would be lovely to look back on how your interests changed over the years. That's a pretty impressive yoga pose! xx
I am always so fascinated by your cards. I do paper crafting too but nothing quite this intricate! Pinned.
Another set of fab cards Lisa. I love the little makeup palettes how cute! x
perfect cards! as always! <3
Your works are very accurate and the people will surely enjoy them.
All the best!
I just love your cards! They are so creative and original!
Can tell the first girl likes her card. I noticed her long fingernails - I guess she has to shed those when enlisted:) Am not one for exercise, but I can imagine with lock downs etc. the subscriber's rate will go through the roof! Such fun to keep up with your cards at All Seasons and what kind of things you are challenged with to give everyone their individual wish! Have a relaxed week, Jesh
Such lovely personalized cards! I know the recipients are thrilled to receive them.

These must have been fun ones for you to do. All the detail, but also seeing how each of the girls have changed over the years. The yoga one is very striking. #mmbc
