Shira's incredible 92 year-old grandma asked me to make a card to mark her granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah. Shira likes dogs and music, grandma told me, and is very interested in science. I questioned whether she preferred biology, physics or chemistry, but grandma wasn't sure, so I simply added some general science-ey items to the card!
I showed bespectacled Shira hugging a cute dog. Some music notes represent her love of music. I added a glass jar with some green liquid bubbling in it, a dropper and a magnet. I hope they cover some of the science fields. A big yellow number 12 marks her age, the age a Jewish girl becomes a Bat Mitzvah.
The Hebrew greeting on the card says "To dear Shira, congratulations on the occasion of your Bat Mitzvah."
Grandma wrote me the sweetest note:
"Hello Lisa,
The card came out very nicely. You understood who Shira is.
Both mother and daughter are happy.
Thank you again."
"Hello Lisa,

Both mother and daughter are happy.
Thank you again."
A new customer saw the cards I made for Ilana and contacted me to see if I was able to make a card for her daughter's birthday, which was back in December. Her daughter was turning 15. She plays netball, is very involved in the religious youth movement Ezra, and she loves baking, mum told me.
I showed her daughter wearing the khaki green netball shirt that her team plays in. She has a netball under her arm and a plate of cupcakes in her other hand. The Ezra logo is behind her, along with a mixing bowl and wooden spoon, and some chocolate chip cookies. Finally, a pink number 15 marks her age.
"Card is amazing. Thank you so much." mum messaged me.

The cards are beautiful and I am so amazed at how you can take the customer's brief and interpret it into a meaningful card that seems to hit the note each time. You are talented.
Aww! What an adorable card for Shira and such a thoughtful gift from grandma. Ilana's card is beautiful too.
Your beautiful cards are always so perfectly individualized. I love both of today's cards.
...beautiful cards that I'm sure are always well received!
These are both so adorable! I definitely think of science when I see those science-y symbols you used.
I really really love both cards you showcase today representing these brilliant and vital young ladies so perfectly. and also I'm so impressed with the Bat Mitzvah celebrant's 92-yo grandmother -- what an amazing role model that sweet lady is for staying involved with life and knowing how to order the perfect card from the perfect artist!
I always love your cards, you have an incredible way of knowing exactly how to make things special. And your talent is amazing and so unique. I'm not surprised you get such lovely messages from your customers.
Two beautiful and very individual cards. I love all the small details - those cookies and the conical flask, magnet and syringe are amazing. xx
The little magnet on the first card is awesome.
Each time you make a card, you create such a lovely memory as well! I love all the details you put into each creation. Visiting form #MMBC.
These are both lovely cards I imagine the girls were both delighted to rceive a card that perfectly sums up their personalities.
Oh, I make cut outs of paper too. I love this.
Wonderful artwork, and an amazing card.

Your attention to every detail makes these personalized cards so special. I love the tray of cupcakes and the mixing bowl.
Beautiful cards, as always, Lisa. I bet pet portraits would be really popular too. I've seen some of your previous work featuring dogs and they are amazing. xx
So adorable! I love the little cupcakes and cookies.
