SAS4Kids: January Jewels

Hi, everyone! Welcome back!

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who played along with last month's "Make New Friends..." Challenge. And, special thanks to all those who sent winter and Valentine's Day cards to their favorite shippers. I know how tough it can be to get back to make cards so soon after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We soooo appreciate all of our wonderful card makers who did just that. You all are the best! 

The cards in our January Gallery were so sweet. Here are three that caught our eyes.

 

1. Arlene

How fun that Arlene had a Girl Scout stamp in her stash!
Her card couldn't be more on point with our theme... or any cuter. Great job, Arlene!

4. Chris

Talk about beautiful! Chris's card features a beautifully colored lass...
 against a beautifully inked background... and conveys such a beautiful sentiment.

6. Jaydee

And talk about cool! Jaydee cleverly heat-embossed her sled-loving Yeti in silver.
Her sentiment is perfect for creating a card that can be used for a variety of situations.

Congratulations, ladies! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us. Be sure to grab our Top 3 badge to display on your blog.

Our current Fun Fold Cards 4 Kids Challenge runs until February 28. While we are featuring Fun Folds this month, any kiddie-appropriate card can be linked up for the challenge. 

It is not required that you donate your card after linking it up for the challenge, but a hospitalized kiddie/tween/teen would surely appreciate it if you did. Here are the deadlines for our next three SAS4Kids holidays.  

• March 20 - Easter and Spring Cards 4 Kids
• April 15 - Mother's Day Cards for kids to give to their moms/special ladies
• May 15 - Father's Day Cards for kids to give to their moms/special men

As always, thank you for all you do for our SAS4Kids patients. 

SAS4Kids: Fun Fold Cards 4 Kids

Hi, everyone! Happy February! 

Since this is the first Saturday of the month, we have a new challenge. Our theme this month is Fun Fold Cards 4 Kids.... with the operative words being fun and fold! (Wait until you see Mary's folds. A brilliant interpretation. BRILLIANT!)

We are approaching the spring months when our shippers are really, really busy. So, to help our shippers stock up on birthday cards, our designers created some adorable birthday cards. And, in keeping with the season, Celeste made a sweet Valentine's Day card. Please note the deadline for Valentine's Day has passed. Please check with your favorite shipper before sending Valentine's Day cards her way.

You have until Friday, February 28 to play along with us this month. You may always link up any kid-friendly card... even if it doesn't have a fun fold. Of course you are not required to donate your card to SAS4Kids, but a hospitalized child would surely love it if you did. 

Thanks for stopping by! We look forward to seeing your creation(s) in our February gallery.

 Hi, everyone! Hope your new year is off to a great start.

A huge thank you to everyone who played along with last month's Winter Cards 4 Kids Challenge. We all know how hectic December is and we especially appreciate those of you who made time to play along with us. 

Last month's cards were so darn cute. Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes.

3. Jose

Jose's card truly transported us to a magical winter wonderland.
What a beautiful card! Beautiful! A perfect card for a tween/teen.

6. Deanne

Deanne's cards always brings smiles to our faces. This card brought huge smiles. Huge!
Moreover, Deanne's post about her snowman building adventure with Zoe is delightful.

7. Trina

Magical and delightful also describe Trina's New Year's card.
Her magical background and delightful snowman help to create such a fun scene!
