My CAS2011summerDT1 search Beach Party pop up card :p This was a really fun card to make even tho I do not have any Beach Scene stamps.
Thanks Jen for a fun challenge. I can not wait to see what everyone else creates. Enjoy....
Out of interest, 10pm EDT I'm guessing would be the middle of the night elsewhere in the world. Is there any flexibility on this?
Thanks for reminding me that it's EDT and not EST.
As far as flexibility, I'm afraid not. We've had DT members from Europe before and they were able to upload. I'm hoping to be able to go back to work in the fall and I can't be editing it from work. Posting too early gives the challenge away sometimes. There have been rare exception for an early post by a DT member because of a special event, but it's not on a regular basis. Sorry that this wasn't the answer you wanted.

i am going to be gone for two weeks in June Mission Trip) and the entire month of August to Germany to stay with my daughter so I will not be able to try out this go round. Best wishes to all those who do!
Thank you for such prompt reply re timings and quite understand the issues your end. I may have a go for a guest slot as I'm not sure I can commit to every week getting up so early on a Monday morning!

I just uploaded my card. I am new to CAS, but am enjoying exploring that side of my creative side - lol!! Thanks for the fun challenge. Here's my card.
Jen, this week was very busy between work and end of school commitments. I was not able to submit an entry but would be thrilled to be a guest designer if you can use me.

Same here. I would have loved to play along, but have had family in town for a few days for several school activities. The timing just worked out to be the same as the first round, so I couldn't join in. Hopefully I can play for the next search again! They're so fun! And love everyone's beach cards too!
bummer that I missed this- I had it noted to check it out and with VSN and the end of school and everything I completely forgot- oh well, look forward to playing along in the challenges this summer
It looks like a lot of CAS stampers have a lot going on this summer.
So................
All thirteen people who submitted cards are moving into the 2nd round. When we choose the finalists, we will be looking at both of your cards (Challenges 1&2)
Update: My son's recovery from surgery.
(Brian is 15 but the size of an upper elementary school child. He has cerebral palsy and high functioning autism)
First, I want to say that I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. They really mean a lot to me. When I joined SCS in 2005, I could have never imagined how many people I'd meet that I call friends.
Surgery was Friday morning. He had 10 procedures done, 5 on each leg. A few bones were broken and pinned so they would be straight. His knee caps were moved into their proper places, and then he had the typical tendon releases. (He has cerebral palsy.) His blood pressure was dangerously high for too long and he's been in PICU since yesterday afternoon.
He has casts on both legs and for awhile we thought he would have to go back to surgery to look for internal bleeding and then recast him. But after 2 blood transfusions, that isn't going to happen. He gets pain meds regularly and his blood pressure comes down a bit, but he's now on blood pressure medication. His heart rate is better since the blood transfusions.
Today, we tried to start moving him with a transfer board. He's too heavy with the casts and even with 2 people we can't do it because of the tightness of his arms... he can't help us. So, we will be adding a lift to the assorted rented stuff in our living room. We have a hospital bed, bedside commode, and a wheelchair with leg rests.
Edited to say that we are working diligently to keep him from getting pneumonia.
I will need lots of prayers as well. We discovered about 3 years ago that my husband has a genetic disorder that has left him physically unable to help. My parents live near-by and as always, they're always ready to help.
Thank you for thinking of us.
The challenge is coming.

I remembered from you talking about your son a loooooong time ago that he was about the same age as one of my boys (I have a 15 year old and a 12 year old) and that he was a special needs child, but I wasn't aware of the extent of his complications. Both of you sound like real troopers and I admire your fortitude. I hope his recovery continues on a positive trend.
Jen, I am esp. happy to know your son is doing better and hopefully out of danger, but sure has a long recovery ahead. Now that is a challenge, but it sounds like you are all mentally prepared. Can we send Brian get well cards? He sounds like a great young man.
Thank you for advancing us all too. I agree, summer is a busy time to make a 3 month committment. Lucky for me our big vacation does not start until Sept. 1st.
My thoughts and prayers for Brian, you and your DH. Take care......

Oh Jen...I am sorry your son (and you) had to go through all this! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jenn, I was so concerned to hear about your son and his big procedure and complications post-op. Now as I read through, he is apparently more stable but will be a challenge post-op at home. I will send my thoughts and prayers along with other SCS'rs that his recovery will be without any further difficulties.
I am bummed that I forgot to upload my challenge card last night.... I may do it just for the fun of it now. Take care.
Jen, Know that you and your family are in my prayers. You have so much on your already full plate. Wishing there was something we could do to help. We'll pray for a speedy healing for sure, good health for you and wisdom for your son's doctors.
