The new customer who saw and loved the birthday cards that I made for Ilana came back to me once again, this time for a card for a daughter whose birthday was in January. I previously made a birthday card for another daughter back in December. Like her younger sister, this young lady also plays netball. She does gel nails as a hobby for clients, and mum told me that she loves to sleep!
I showed the birthday girl wearing the khaki green shirt that her netball team plays in. I showed her younger sister wearing the same shirt. She has a netball in her hands. Behind her is a dream bubble showing her fast asleep in bed! I added some little bottles of nail varnish and a nail file, to represent her work as a nail technician. If you look carefully, you will see that she also has beautiful pink gel nails! Finally, I added a number 17 to mark her age.
I had another request, this time for an 18th birthday card. This young lady belongs to Shevet Modi'in, a Jerusalem based Scout troop. Mum sent me a photo of her daughter's khaki Scout shirt, which is absolutely covered in badges! The khaki shirt is the same across the world for the Scouts' movement. Shevet Modi'in wear a blue aniva, or neckerchief. Much like the khaki shirt, the use of the anivot is the same throughout the movement. It connects each troop to the entire Scout movement.

I love the sleeping image on the first card, I think that sums up a lot of teenagers.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that the family from the second card have a car called Froggie.
These cards are fabulous as usual!
What a fabulous cards! You included all of the favourite things so well. My 17 year old is all about the sleeping and nails. lol
ReplyDeleteVery cute cards and I also love the sleeping graphic. That fits lots of kids. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteYour personalized cards are such treasures... What a memorable way to celebrate a special day! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love these! That dreaming of sleeping on the first card made me smile; I do think that is how most teens feel 95% of their day!
ReplyDeleteWOW, each time you make a card I don't think you can out do your last card, but you always do! These are wonderful (as always!). Visiting from #MMBC Melynda @scratchmadefood!
ReplyDeleteTwo more wonderful cards. Dreaming of sleep would be very apt for my younger daughter .......... but she's no longer a teenager! I bet Froggie is very proud to be included! :O) xx
ReplyDeleteSome teenagers are so taken up with iphones and computers that they don't participate in sports and other physical activities. Your birthday girls both look very active and involved ... excellent.
ReplyDeleteLove, love love the little details—netball, gel nails, scout badges, Froggie the car 🧡🧡🧡
ReplyDeleteYou’ve really captured their personalities in such a fun way.
Such cute personalized cards!
ReplyDeleteDreaming of sleep is not limited to the younger among us! Both cards are perfect. As always.
