I found a really great handmade card on Pinterest which sent me to a blog called Charlotte's Fancy (I find a lot of great blogs through Pinterest alone). It's called the iDad card.
The Inspiration (by Charlotte's Fancy):
This card would make a great Father's Day card, but I made it for Mr. LH's birthday which was only a few days later.
My Version:

The Boy is the most familiar with Mr. LH's iPad so I had him go through the icons with me to find ones that Mr. LH had. I came across a free download of a TON of icon pictures for iPads and iPhones on RocketDock. Unfortunately, my color printer has not had color toner in it for a VERY long time (three years?) so I created 4x6 "photos" in Fireworks with the icon images and uploaded them to Walgreens online to be printed out.
4x6" prints are about 19 cents a piece at Walgreens and the store is only about 2 blocks from my house. I could pick them up in an hour. Convenience! If I had planned ahead, I would have ordered the prints for much cheaper through Snapfish (along with some other prints) and had them mailed.


Since I had all the other materials on hand, this project was only the cost of the prints. And 38 cents is a lot cheaper than $4.99+ at the store for a greeting card! Gotta love that!
(Update 6/5/2014: The last time I went to order prints at Walgreens, they cost 29 cents a piece for hour printing)
