SAS4Kids: Happy Holiday Cards 4 Kids

Hello, everybody! Today is the first Saturday in November, which means it's time for a new challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids. Today we are focusing on holiday cards 4 our kids.

Halloween has come and gone. So, here at SAS4Kids, our attention turns from jack-o-lanterns and falling leaves to Santas and flurrying snowflakes. And, boy or boy, did our DT create some cute cards for this challenge.

But before we take a look at those cute cards, we offer a warm welcome to today's Guest Designer Diane... and her card couldn't be any sweeter. Just adorable! Go to Nellie's Nest to see more of Diane's works of heart and to get lots of great inspiration. Thank you soooo much, Diane, for sharing your amazing talent with us today.

SAS4Kids: September Sweeties!

 Hi, everyone! A big thanks to everyone who linked up a card for our Cute Fall/Halloween Challenge. All your cards were adorable. And, thanks to everyone who made cards for our SAS4Kids kids. Pumpkins, ghosts, witches, and a sweetly smiling vampire crept into our September gallery. 

Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes. 

#4 Donna

Donna's little gnome stole our team's heart. Serious swooning here!
Her fella is perfectly colored and that postage stamp framing makes a great focal point. 

#5 Maikreations

Talking about perfect coloring... oh, my! What a gorgeous scene. Gorgeous!!!
And how clever to adapt Christmas critters for this pretty fall scene.

#7 Trina

Trina incorporated such great techniques in creating this spook-tacular card:
stretching out that tray die, twinkling up those eyes, and blending up a moonlit sky. Stunning!

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

Our current Holiday/Celebration Challenge runs until November 1. However, any kiddie-appropriate card can be linked up for the challenge. 

It is not required that you donate your card after entering, but a young patient in one of the SAS4Kids hospitals would surely love it if you did. For information about donating cards, click on the tabs at the top of our blog. Please check your shippers' needs before sending cards their way. 

A quick reminder that the deadline for getting Holiday/Christmas cards to our shippers is November 5. And, our Valentine's deadline of January 15 will be here before we know it.  :)

Again, thank you all so much for all the smiles your cards bring to our SAS4Kids kids and their families. We certainly appreciate it here... and know they do, too.
