SAS4Kids: December Darlings!

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. Your December cards are always so darn cute, and last month our gallery was filled with lots of adorable critters! Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes.

7. Allisa

Allisa combined colorful paper with a gorgeous sentiment
to create a quick card that packs a big punch. Such a cheery card!

10. Elizabeth

Nothing says "wintry" like an igloo.
And, what's more fun than Elizabeth's colony of penguins?!

11. Carrie

We just loved this adorable 2023 stamp on Carrie's card.

More adorable penguins? Yes, please!

SAS4Kids: Love/Valentine Cards 4 Kids

Happy 2023! All of us at Send a Smile 4 Kids hope this new year rings in health and happiness... and lots of crafty fun. 

It seems like all of us crafters work at warp speed in December. And, if you are like me, you are ready for a little down time come January. Then I realize that Valentine's is right around the corner and our shippers are starting to work on those boxes of love/Valentine cards for our kids. That's why it's become a tradition to feature love/Valentine cards here in January.

Without further ado, let's look at the love/Valentine's cards for kids created by our designers. We're thrilled to welcome back Melanie Hungerford as a Guest Designer. Melanie, who shares her adventures in crafting at Cards by Melanie, Thank you so much, Melanie, for again sharing your talents with us!

You have until noon US/Eastern Time on Friday, February 3, to join in our current challenge. While we are focusing on Love/Valentine cards, any kiddie-appropriate card can be linked up to play along. It is not required that you send your card to one of our shippers, but an in-patient child/tween/teen would love it if you did. If you are making Valentine cards for our kids, the deadline to get those to your favorite shipper(s) is January 15. That's right, the 15th! So, if you are sending cards that might be arriving beyond that date, please reach out to your shipper(s).

As always, thank you for your support of SAS4Kids. We look forward to seeing your kiddie cards in our January gallery.

SAS4Kids: November Nuggets!

Hi, everyone! It's time for a few SAS4Kids shout-outs! 

A big thanks to everyone who played along with last month's Happy Holiday Cards 4 Kids Challenge. There were so many cheery holiday cards in our November gallery. Here are three that caught our DT's eyes. 

4. Bernie

Bernie's framed Santa is sure to be loved 

by kids and their parents alike. Just gorgeous!

6. Trina P

Kids love sparkly... 

and Trina's iridescent foiled background is a real showstopper! 

 

25. Melanie H

Take a close look to see that Melanie's penguins' hats

coordinate with her rainbow-colored background. How fun!

Our current Winter Cards 4 Kids Challenge runs until January 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 our shippers' needs before sending cards their way. 

As always, thank you for all you do for SAS4Kids. All of us at SAS4Kids wish you the happiest of new years.
