Emily was turning 17. Her mum asked me to make her a birthday card with a
beach theme but also told me that Emily had been studying hard and suggested
that I maybe add some books as well.
I have shown Emily holding up a big number 17. Behind her you can see a beautiful blue sea and some gorgeous golden sand. The sun is shining brightly and a couple of seagulls are flying high in the sky. Next to Emily there is an open book. I wonder if she would really be tempted to use it at the beach? 😉

Emily loved the card.
Yonatan was turning 18 and his mum asked me to make him a card as well. He rides
his dad's motorbike, so she wanted me to show him holding a motorbike helmet.
I was also asked to include dad's car, which Yonatan drives as well. Finally, mum
sent me a copy of the invitation to Yonatan's theatre studies final show. He
has just completed his te'udat bagrut (Israel's high school
matriculation examination) and finished high school.
I showed Yonatan with the grey helmet tucked under his arm. Dad's white Alfa Romeo Giulietta is behind him, along with the invitation to his theatre studies show. Finally, I added a football next to Yonatan because I know he is a keen supporter. A big number 18 marks his age.

Rebecca
was turning 22 and this time it was her auntie who asked me to make a card. The theme
should be charity shops, she said. She loves buying clothes and looking
around the shops as a pastime. Her auntie sent me photos of the
specific shops that she likes to visit and asked if I could somehow
include them on the card.
I cut out a fiddly little clothes rack and added some clothes hanging from
it. In front of the rack are some boxes of clothes, with a pair of shoes
next to them. Photos of the various shops Rebecca likes to visit surround
the rack. A big pink 22 marks her age.
Rebecca's mum wrote on Facebook, "Lisa I loved the card. Thank you".

You always make the nicest cards and these 3 young people are lucky to receive their individualized little pieces of art. They're really little time treasures.
What gorgeous cards.
I especially love the one for Rebecca with the charity shop theme. x
What fun custom cards! Shopping charity shops is so much fun. We call it thrifting here. You never know what you will find!
...I don't think that I would want to be those ages again!
Three lovely cards, I hope the recipients were thrilled with them, they are all so personal. I think I like the 22 card best, what a great pastime, I used to love browsing charity shops when I was able to, you can pick up some great bargains.
Great cards. I love the charity shop themed one as I'm rather partial to those too! xx
I love the 22 card. I'm so impressed at the time you put into making these cards and blogging about them too!

They are all so beautiful. Lucky recipients.
I love reading a good book at the beach! LOL. So many beautiful cards.
I love the beach themed 17th birthday card and the clothes rail and boxes of clothes on the 22nd birthday card. The little details on your cards are just so lovely. #MMBC
