I'm sure a lot of our regular readers seldom scroll all the way down to the very bottom of the page. I, myself, seldom do, but today for some reason I did. When I did I noticed that today marks the 6 month anniversary of the card sketches here at CPS. Then I also noticed that we were almost at 50,000 visits. So, I have been watching the counter change throughout the day...and we did it!!! As of 4:33pm today, exactly 6 months after the first sketch, we had our 50,000th visitor!!
I think that calls for a celebration :) So, leave us a comment here on this thread and tell us what you think of CPS, what you'd like to see, whatever you want. I'll leave it open until I post the new sketch on Sunday and announce the winner of a great RAK (photo coming soon)!
Thanks to everyone who has visited us and joined in on the fun over the last 6 months, as well as all of those who have spread the word and linked us on their blogs. We have some major events planned in the near future and look forward to the next 6 months.
And, on a personal note, I want to give a HUGE heartfelt thanks to all of the CPS Designers Alissa, Anabelle, Christine, Kelly, Kim, Lea, Linda, Lisa, Melissa and Sherry. You girls are the best. CPS wouldn't be the same without all the amazing designs from you ladies. Thank you!!
((hugs))

Congrats on your 6 month anniversary. I love looking at the different interpretations of each sketch. Can't wait to see what new things you have in store for us. Thanks for the blog candy offer, too.
Woohoo! Time flies when you're having fun! ;) I keep this on my bloglines and love looking at all the new creations. I even share the link with my non-scrappy friends because I know they will appreciate the great pieces of art here.
I love CPS not only because of the sketches, but because of all of the different examples using each sketch. It is so great to see what each of the designers do with the sketch - sometimes they seem so different, yet are based on the same starting point!
Love the designs and all of the cards the designers come up with! Congratulations on your milestone! It seems to me that there are more participants than ever, great job!

I love your site and all teh great ideas I find on it!!
I love, love, love the site and am here for the sketch every week!!
I really enjoy visiting CPS, it has been a great source of inspiration and eye candy for me.
Great site, love doing your sketches!
I'm a new subscriber, as of a few days ago. I *love* this site! I've gotten some great inspirations from the posts and photos!
I really like seeing everybody's contributions for each sketch. I do my work on my own, I don't go scraps or gatherings like that. But coming here and seeing all the different takes from a single inspiration makes me feel as if I'm part of a much larger group. And it goes without saying that the sketches themselves and the "staff" designers are fantastic!
I'm a newbie cardmaker - your layout ideas give me great confidence that my card looks well thought-out; Who has to know I didn't think of it myself?! Thanks!
Congrats on all the hits & for creating this fun blog. I have tried some of the sketches & have loved the results.
Challenges are both a lure and just that, a challenge. Great way to get out of a slump -- and not have to come up with something from nothing. Love looking at the samples.
I enjoy your blog and I'm always in awe of what your design team comes up with. It's also one of my favorite places to come when I want to try out something new. I don't have to look any further than your sketches.
Congrats!! I love coming to this site,love seeing everyone's take on the same sketch.I haven't been doing all the sketches , as lately it seems I never get time to do anything, with work, and the nice weather.Hoping to play catch up this weekend as its raining.
