CPS Sketch contest

It has been awhile since I have entered any contests, but I couldn't pass this one up. Cardmaker magazine is having a card design contest using a sketch from CPS (card positoning systems). One grand prize winner will be chosen to have their card published in the July 2008 issue. The themes are Patriotic, travel postcards, summer parties, Christmas in July. I chose the travel postcard theme. Here is what I came up with using their sketch:
I followed the sketch but flipped it Horizontally for a fun twist. I really enjoyed making this card, thanks for the contest CPS and Cardmaker magazine!

Life has been getting in the way...

It's summer, the kids are out of school. We have been busy with camping trips and kids activities. It's becoming harder and harder to find the time to scrapbook let alone blog. Between tumbling, football, activities with the church and the school choir, I find myself becoming the kids Taxi driver. In fact, the only scrapping I have had time for lately is Digital Scrapping and it is becoming my new obsession.
Here is what I've done with fabulous digital products from JanaM

Love the glitter on the first one. So fun to play with!

We spent Father's day with Frank's family in the bay area. Thank goodness for my fast shutter speed on my new camera or I would never have been able to catch this picture on time. Kalee and Matt were tickling each other and being goofy. I have to say that it is my favorite picture right now.

We are back from our camping trip to Yosemite. We had a blast this weekend. We camped with 7 other families, all together there was about 44 of us - and half of that was kids! We camped at Yosemite Pines resort. There was so much to do there - they had a petting zoo, pool, playground, volleyball court, horseshoe pit, gold panning, hiking trails and a gold miners cave! The kids also passed the time with water balloons and they performed a talent show for us on our last night. Matt wowed everyone with his breakdancing skills and won the show. So much fun - it was the perfect vacation and much needed too after our super stressful week of having pumbling and car problems.

We went on a hike and stumbled across this gold miners cave. The kids got to go in with their flash lights. They had a blast, it was so cold and spooky, they actually went in 3 times.
