Funny & Personalized Greeting Card Idea

A neat idea for personalizing greeting cards started in our family many years ago. One of my mom's sisters found an old picture of some of the family members & put it on the front of a Birthday card with some funny captions. Then my mom cut out & glued another family member from another pic onto the same card & passed it on to another sister. Well, that snow-balled & became a funny thing to do as well as alter the pictures by adding things or clipping out other pics of people to add to them. In more recent years, the art form evolved as the greeting card companies came out with cards that used actual real photos of people. The pics are always old black & white or just crazy looking people in them. So, now sometimes one of us will take our own photos of our family & cut out the heads & glue them onto the bodies of the ones on the pic on the Birthday card. Sometimes altering the captions as well. It has been pretty hilarious. Often times people don't like the body they've been stuck with but, it's a lot fun to make or receive. We usually do this for sisters, aunts or cousins who are out of state because we don't get to see them that often & it's a fun way to stay connected. If I can find one that I have somewhere, I'll post a pic on here.
