August Birthday Cards 2008

Below are the cards I made for my Grandma and Mom for their August birthdays. The first card I totally CASE'd from one of the many blogs I read (Heartfeltgreetings). I saw this card and loved it, so I had to make a similar one for my grandma. She loves red and I just thought it was such a great idea. The other card is one I made for my mom. This card idea came from splitcoaststampers.com.
