A friend asked if I was able to make her husband a card for his upcoming
special birthday. She told me that he is
passionate about music, especially The Beatles. He likes red wine and
espresso coffee, and New York. I protested that there were too many things
for one card, but then decided that I was up for a challenge!
My customer was delighted with the card. "You are a genius!" she wrote to me. "You got them all in!" Her husband was happy too. "Amazing card. Thank you so much."
Another customer wanted to know if I had availability to make a 70th birthday
card for her mum. She's a retired primary school teacher who loves Scrabble
and Wordle, she told me. As a primary school teacher she taught Reception age
children (usually aged between four and five) to read.
I showed mum reading a book to the kids. Behind her is a pot of pencils, a
book and the letters ABC, to represent her teaching career. A Scrabble
board and tiles spell out the word 'Scrabble'. I added the Wordle logo too,
and a big green number 70 to mark her age.

What a great challenge fitting everything onto the card, you did a great job and I love the 70th birthday card! You fitted so much detail onto that one too.
You could take commissions from a lot of Baby Boomers who are all passionate about 1960s music, especially The Beatles, wine and espresso coffee, and cultural cities :) Two cards, actually; one with white hair for men, and one with white hair for women. I would love it :)
As a senior, I relate to your friend's card with music and food. I've been to NYC for visits and certainly enjoyed it. You are so creative to fit everything on an attractive card. #MMBC
I agree with Carol, I too joined the "70" club this year. As always your cards really warm the heart! #mmbc
What fun cards! My hubby (who will be 70 in two years) would love that card and, as a retired kindergarten teacher I found that card extra special! Your talent always impresses me!
Two excellent cards. Well done on all the details; no wonder the recipients were impressed. I can see bits of me in both of them! xx
Fabulous cards, I like them both but well done on getting everything in on the man's card.
You've nailed all the little details!
Every element is wonderfully thought out. WOW!
I think you did an amazing job fitting in everything to the card, what a challenge!
I love that you incorporated the word scrabble on to the scarbble board, that's so detailed.
They both look fabulous. I think you did great incorporating so many different interests.
You did so well. Amazing.

I love the aerial view of New York and the intricate detail of the Scrabble board.
Beautiful cards as always. xx
