Happy Birthday for a 5 yr old

My last birthday card for the month of April.  [Can you believe May will be here on Tuesday??!!??]

This one was made in short bursts of time this week.  We are doing extra school work in order to get done early since we are going to be away in June.  (Busch Gardens, here we come!!!)  Making our own schedule is one of the many benefits of home schooling, but it has made for some loooong days of study this week. 

I gave this card to the birthday boy already but did not have time to post it!  And I've not been visiting all my blog buddies, so I apologize and will be back at it soon!

I personally can't believe May is nearly here - of course, we had snow flurries yesterday, that helps with the confusion! lol.
Love this card for a 5 year old - they're so proud of counting at that age that having all the numbers makes it super fun :)

Love the way you've arranged the numbers leading to the birthday boy's age! Such a neat idea. Very tempted to steal it. Might as well confess and thank you in advance! Have a blessed Sunday!

OOh, I love this card. THanks for the comment on my man card. Now when I use a 12 x 12 I try to use as much as I can, usually I get 4 cards out of a sheet, that way, I have 1 from my collection with my measurements and the other 3 in my give away stash!
