I'm so excited about the first Scrapbook Sketch Challenge posted with the Paper Craft Crew!  I had fun creating the sketch then making my own digital scrapbook page using MDS2.  If you haven't tried MDS2, I highly recommend that you download a free 30-day trial and give it a try.  It is so easy and fun to use with a TON of wonderful features.

Paper Craft Crew:  Scrapbook Sketch Challenge #1

MDS2 – Mississippi Headwaters

This was such a fun project.  I'm currently on "vacation" with my son, Caleb, visiting my family in Minnesota.  My wonderful husband, Mike, wasn't able to come on this month long adventure and we do miss him but we are still managing to have lots of fun.  For our first weekend in Minnesota, we stayed at my parents 5th Wheel Camper at the In We Go Resort on 8th Crow Wing Lake near Nevis, MN.  On Monday, we decided to visit Itasca State Park and the Headwaters of the Mississippi River.  This was Caleb's first visit to the Mississippi Headwaters.
