I love these cards. The pages from the book are nicely integrated. Some of my favorite elements are the floral stamps on the first card and the flowers with button centers. On the second card I also like the leaves with text on them. You've made two very attractive entries.

Great cards! I love the look of old book print on cards, etc., too. However, I have a hard time taking out that first page to use -- after the first, though, look out. That book is history!
