I was asked by a work colleague to make a card for her mother as it was her 80th Birthday.  She wanted to add a photo of her mother from her younger days.  After scanning the photo and a good few hours of thinking about it here’s what i came up with:

I’m glad to say that the whole family liked it so they all signed it so it could be kept as a keepsake.  The recipient of the card then asked me to make one for her brother who was going to be 90 a few weeks later, she also decided that she wanted one for her other brother even though it wasn’t his birthday so they’d all have a keepsake card.  Here’s the other two i came up with:

I found the male cards harder but still enjoyed making these very personal cards.  Which is a good job as i’ve since been asked to make some for other people.

 Hope you like them and maybe they’ll inspire someone to use some photo’s on their cards.
