Curious Glo replied: "I love making cards for people!
What about making a collage card? You can include pictures and images that are all about your dad and make an artsy little collage.
You can include pictures of his favorite things: sports, travel, music, etc... Or you can make a collage card of pictures of you and him over the last year.
You can make it all about his birthday, too. For instance, pictures of his zodiac sign, Chinese sign, birthstone, etc...
You can find a lot of images and pictures on the internet, in old magazines -- so you don't really need to buy any new stuff.
Hope this helps! Have fun!"
