SAS4Kids: October Shout-Outs!

Hi, everyone! It's time for a Shout-Out Saturday here at SAS4Kids!

Last month's gallery was a bit of a holiday mash-up. There were cute fall/Halloween cards and festive winter/Christmas cards. Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes.

3. Karen

Our shippers are always in need of cards for our our tweens/teens. Karen's card would be
perfect for one of our older patients. And, we just loved this card's bold, graphic look!   

6. Lorraine

There's nothing cuter than a little penguin wearing reindeer ears, is there?!
Lorraine created such a sweet scene... with gorgeously colored elements. Lovely!

12. Deanne

Buttons, twine, and fluffy snow... oh, my!
Deanne's attention to details brings this snowgal to life. Great job, Deanne! 

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 Happy Holiday Cards 4 Kids Challenge runs until December 6. 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. And, speaking of our shippers, December 5 is the deadline for getting Christmas cards to them.

As always, thank you all so much for your support of SAS4Kids. And, on behalf of all of us here at SAS4Kids, we wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. 

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.
