It does not seem possible that my DGS is 5 years old today.  This weekend we had his 5th Birthday Party and I’m telling you this was one happy little dude!  I caught him with chocolate cake all over his mouth!

He had his party at a place called BounceTown.  This is a place that has various bounce houses, air hockey, a shuffle board and a place to have the cake and presents all in air conditioned facilities.  In Texas this is a must and it is self contained so it is easy to keep up with all the excited kids!

This has been one busy week, with Mom getting sick (we had to go to 3 different places to get her treated), Gareth’s B-Day and Papa and NaeNae keeping GKs, and playing a little handy man for Daughter #2.  Unfortunately, during most of that time I had a bad headache and didn’t get much sleep.

I made Garth’s B-card using the Everyday Paperdolls and George Carts.  The sentiment is a $1 stamp from M”s (love that).

I double cut his hair and enhanced it with Copics (YR68, YR14, E37).  His checks are R22 and I used ColorBox’s Bronze ink pad to ink around his face hands and feet.  The 5 has Glossy Accents on it to give it some dimension and I put it and his hair on some foam tape to give them a little lift.  I cut the little “rocker” out of scraps I had in my stash.

I glittered the star in the sentiment with MS’s red glitter and used a white pen to draw the doodling around the blue star, pants and guitar.  I drew in the strings and frets on the guitar to give it a little more depth.

The little “rocker”  and his guitar and everything else  are cut at 3.5″; however,  I cut his hair at 3.0″.  It seemed to big to cut at the 3.5″.

Here is the in side and we attached a $5 bill since he was turning 5.  Of course I think he had 2 other gifts from us to make sure he was covered.

Later when I asked him if he liked his card, he told me that he was not a “Rock Star”, he said, “Really, NaeNae I’m not”!  Gotta love it, they don’t mind telling you how they feel!

In my books he is, he drums like crazy and he already has a real guitar, loves music and we all know that the girls go after musicians!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
