Let's Play Army

     My grandson just turned 9 and he wanted to do an Army theme for his party.  My daughter has a friend who's a Sgt. in the National Guard, and she brought all kinds of gear and desert camo stuff for decorating, including a bivouac tent, cots, and sleeping bags.  Everyone showed up wearing some kind of camo clothing.

     We made MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat) for each child, filled with typical birthday treats.  We also made up door prize bags for each kid to take home.  They ran and played Nerf Dart tag, then divided into teams and competed with each other on treasure hunts and other games.

     In keeping with the military theme, I did this card with an adorable image from Bugaboo Stamps.

I pulled my colors from Paper Sweeties

because they made it easy to do the camo and the boots.

     A really CAS design, colored with my ProMarkers, but perfect for his birthday.
