Card-a-Copia: Winter Solstice cards

It's that time of year.  You know, when people you barely remember from days-gone-by send you seasons's greetings with an accompanying epistle regaling you with tales of faulty gall bladders, kids who survived being stuck in the neighbor's trash can for seven hours during a summer dare, or the new driveway they put in that caused the front yard to cave in. 

Good times.

Well, I attempt to brighten up those holiday letters with a hand-made card.  Here are the first three I have for 2011.  (There may be more to come.  Ya never know when creativity will strike!)
