As Julie's 60th birthday approached, a group of her friends got in touch and
asked me to design a birthday card to mark the occasion. A whole range of
ideas was suggested for the design, but the list was eventually whittled down
to a few of her - in Julie's own words - "crazy hobbies"!
I was told that Julie adores her two cats - one black and one tabby. She's also into weightlifting (free weights, no less!) and is apparently a master bartender. More recently, she has taken up line dancing via YouTube videos - and says she absolutely loves it. I was also asked to incorporate a 60 somewhere in the design.

I decided to depict bespectacled Julie with her beloved kitties in her
arms. In front of her sits the barbell she trains with. Behind her, I
added tiny cocktails, complete with umbrellas and coloured straws, along
with a large flat-screen TV playing her favourite YouTube line dancing
video. I also included a big pink 60 to highlight her milestone birthday.
It seems that Julie was thrilled with the card. Her friends sent me the
photo, shown near the top of this post, on the evening of her birthday
celebration, and then Julie herself followed up with this lovely
message:
"Hi Lisa, the card you made for my 60th birthday is fantastic! Thank you so much! My kids were amazed by it because they said it perfectly represents me and my latest crazy hobbies. I'm going to frame it."
