She sent me a photo of Yonatan next to a sign saying Larke Pass. I learnt that the Larke Pass, also known as Larkya La, is a high mountain pass in Nepal, situated at an elevation of 5,106 metres (16,752 feet). It is the highest point on the Manaslu Circuit Trek. The pass is marked by a sign indicating its elevation and is a popular spot for trekkers to take photos. The sign is often adorned with prayer flags, adding to the scenic and spiritual atmosphere of the location.
Mum also sent me a photo of Yonatan mixing a cocktail.
I decided to show Yonatan in front of the Larke Pass sign, dressed in his mountaineering clothing. At the same time, he is holding a cocktail shaker and has already mixed a few drinks, which I placed next to him. I added some trekking poles, a red heart with his girlfriend Eden's name on it, and a big yellow number 22 to mark his age.
Apparently Yonatan absolutely loved it! Yonatan's little brother Eilon celebrated his 10th birthday a few months ago. Mum asked me to show him playing the piano on his card, but wanted me to add a basketball and some milk chocolate M&M's as well. The yellow number 10 shows his age.
Eilon loved his card too. "Thank you so much for the cards! They made our day." mum wrote to me.

Hi Lisa, sorry I've not visited for a while, I've been finding it hard to feel inspired. Wish I was in Nepal right now, or at least somewhere with a LOT of rain. Hope you are well. I see that the gorgeous cards keep coming, good for you! A hug.

Lisa I love all, but the name plates (is that good word), they are so nice.
How lovely! Very creative.
Two excellent cards with such attention to detail. No wonder the recipients loved them. xx
Oh wow. Lisa! What a beautiful art work. Yonathan must be really happy. :)
I too agree on making way to the basics because it enhances your creativity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
These are fantastic cards. I love all the little details on them like the heart with the girlfriends name on and the M&M's. Those are the things which make your cards so special.
There is humour in Yonatan's card, with him dressed to hike, but still having time to make a cocktail. I'm not surprised he liked it. I suspect both cards capture the brothers well. Clever you!
The expressive elements are always strong and spot on! I see why folks return to you for cards each year, they really are a keepsake. Vising today from #MMBC
Two beautiful cards indeed. And now you in the Linkparty. It's no Problem for me, if you like this. The System of the Linkparty ask about the backlink to my blog.
Thank you, you are welcome, for sharing your art with us.
Have a wonderful week. Greetings by Heidrun
It's always fun to see your creative cards- so much thought goes into them. I love the piano!
Trekking in Nepal is no easy task and your card really celebrates his accomplishments. Playing the piano at 10 is amazing for Eilon, and he looks so happy here. Wonderful cards for the brothers.

What a fantastic and creative idea! It's so thoughtful to combine his love for trekking in Nepal with his current work as a bartender. The details you included, like the Larke Pass sign and the heart for his girlfriend, make it truly special. It's no wonder he loved it!
These are wonderful! I love the combination of the Nepal hiking trail/pass with the mixed drinks too; I bet lots of hikers enjoy a nice drink after a day trekking.
What an adventure Yonatan has had and you've captured it all perfectly. I hope Elion got lots of M&Ms for his birthday too.
