Bunches of Birthdays

My grandmother asked me to make her a bunch of birthday cards she can send to her friends. So today I sat down in my craft room and got to work. My grandparents are snowbirds and spend half the year in Indiana and the other half in Florida. I thought it would be fun to incorporate some beach themes into a few of the cards to portray their dual lives.
