SAS4Kids: Trains, Planes, and Automobiles!

 Hello! It's the first Saturday of May, which means it's time for a new challenge for our kids. 

Before we get to this month's challenge, I have the pleasure of announcing the April participant who has been randomly selected to join us as a Guest Designer. This month's lucky number is #4 A Kept Life. 

Congratulations, Jeanne! Please be sure to send me an email, including SAS4Kids in the subject line, at cards[dot]by[dot]sybrina[at]gmail[dot]com to schedule your upcoming guest designer appearance. Special thanks to everyone who linked up cards in our gallery last month. Those pretty, springy, flowery cards will be perfect Mother's Day. 

I think this month's challenge is a new one for us. Our May theme is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles! But, by all means, any and all modes of transportation are welcome. Have a frog riding a unicycle? Go for it! An elephant in a hot air balloon? Perfect! I decided to go with a couple of mice exploring the skies on a paper airplane. Too cute not to use!

Regardless of our chosen mode of transportation, we all were inspired to make guy cards. Since our Father's Day card deadline is May 15, our shippers are hoping to receive lots of guy-themed cards to tuck into their boxes. 

This month, we are thrilled to welcome Guest Designer Dreja... who joins us from Germany! We are always excited when international card makers like Dreja share their talents with us. Dreja blogs about her experiences in card making at Dreja's Craft World. Stopping by her craft world, you will come across a variety of styles and techniques... from inking up fabulous backgrounds to playing with patterned papers, from creating great CAS designs to going for for detailed compositions. Thank you for crafting with us this month, Dreja! We were so happy when you accepted our guest designer invitation. 

So, let's take a look at the guy cards from Dreja and our SAS4Kids DT that were inspired by our Planes-Trains-Automobiles theme. I must add this is the first challenge in a while that all of our gals have been able to join us. How wonderful to have a full house!!

SAS4Kids: Flower Cards 4 Moms

Hello! It's the first Saturday of April, which means it's time for a new challenge for our kids. 

Before we get to this month's challenge, I have the pleasure of announcing the March participant who has been randomly selected to join us as a Guest Designer. This month's lucky number is #15 Dreja. 

Congratulations, Dreja! Please be sure to send me an email, including SAS4Kids in the subject line, at cards[dot]by[dot]sybrina[at]gmail[dot]com to schedule your upcoming guest designer appearance. Thank you to everyone who linked up a card last month. There were so many cute animal cards in our March gallery! 

This April, we are focusing on flower cards. Since our Mother's Day deadline is just around the corner, our designers specifically focused on flower cards that our kids can give to their moms. Looking at our designer's cards. what I noticed is that each card is really versatile. Several of them can be given to most anyone for virtually any occasion and others can be given to a mom for most any occasion. Our shippers love to include cards like these in their boxes!
