Once again I am playing catch up and sharing some cards that I made for some
lovely ladies who were celebrating their 80th birthdays back in early 2022.
The first card was for a nana who was a tour guide by profession and also a
wonderful baker. Her daughter-in-law told me that she makes delicious
chocolate chip cookies and cakes.
I showed Nana with a plate of cookies in one hand and a sign saying "Tour
Guide" in the other. Tour guides often carry a flag so that if/when people get
lost they can spot the flag. Behind her is a view of Jerusalem and the
Dome of the Rock, and next to her is some cake. A big blue number 80 marks her age.
I know this nana personally and she was kind enough to write to me after she received her card:

Hi Lisa
Just want to say thank you for the terrific birthday card you designed
for my 80th birthday. I can't stop smiling at it all day. It's right here
on the table so I am with this silly grin all day long!
Thank you, thank you!
Thank you, thank you!
I showed this mum watering the flowers by her front door. I added a
lot of red and purple anemones since they are her favourite. A big red number
80 marks her age.
Once again, the card was very well received:

Dear Lisa, I just wanted to share with you that I gave my mum the
beautiful card you made and she absolutely loved it, showing it to
everyone that came to her birthday tea.
Finally, a customer asked me to make a card for her friend who was soon to be celebrating her 80th birthday. She asked me to put a big number 80 on the card, but also requested an aeroplane to represent her friend's love of travel, a birthday cake and the blue and white Israeli flag.
She called to tell me that her friend really loved the card.

We absolutely loved Nana’s card! It was a perfect depiction of her and made us all smile so very much. Your eye is extraordinary for catching the essence of the person. Honestly a true work of art ❤️
Excellent cards; I hope I look that good at 80! :O) xx
80 is such a landmark birthday. On one hand, we may be reluctant to acknowledge our advancing age but on the other, we are delighted to enjoy the growing family and friends. Your cards show the pleasures.
These are absolutely beautiful, you're so clever! I really love the gardening card :o)
