Showing mum knitting was easy. I added a newspaper with a crossword puzzle on
it and a tiny pencil. I had to look up Kalooki but soon learnt that it is a card
game popularly played in Jamaica. It is sometimes called Jamaican Rummy. I
printed out a tiny Kalooki score sheet and some playing cards. A big yellow number 80 marks mum's age.
My customer wanted me to show her children on the second card. Once again
she sent me a recent photo and I was able to create a likeness of them
all, carefully copying all the details, from the girls' dresses to the
colour of the boys' belts!
"Thanks to my amazingly talented friend Lisa Isaacs for making these
wonderful birthday cards for my mum's 80th." my customer wrote on
Facebook. "She [mum] loved them."

Your customization of cards is inspiring. I love the 2 colorful cards for Mum (grandmom).
These cards are great. I love that there is one all about her and another with family. x
80 is a very special birthday and both cards you made will be wonderful keepsakes!
Lisa, how great are these cards?! So much happiness you have captured, they are lovely. #MMBC
They are fabulous! I'll have to look into/look up that card game. We love rummy and that sounds like a fun new twist on the game.
Kalooki is a new one for me too. I'll have to look up the rules and introduce it into our games' night. Brilliant cards with your trademark attention to detail. xx
