Handmade Irish Cards

Hi Everyone
What awful weather were having here.
Just home from a lovely holiday in Portugal.

Here are a few cards I made recently
My nephews birthday
A pocket style card, with money folded like a hankie 

100th Birthday card with a Wicklow  Harbour theme


The cards below were a gift for the lovely staff 
at Pergola House in Cascais
I even manage to add verses with the help of Google translate.
The ladies loved them
