Top 3 Card: #1 A. Rose

We loved how a funky strip served as a fabulous background

for a super sweet, beautifully-colored Valentine girl!

Top 3 Card: #5 Red Obsession Cards

This vintage-look little gal, longingly looking at her birthday cupcake, 
simply stole our hearts. And the coloring of those balloons... gorgeous!


Top 3 Card: #8 Nancy Hill

Soft, pastel papers and a pretty tree frame are the
perfect elements to pop this absolutely hug-worthy koala!

Easter or Spring Cards 4 Kids OR Anything Goes 4 Kids

It’s Saturday and time for another fun challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids! Again this year, all challenges at SAS4Kids are Anything Goes 4 Kids! We will often have an alternative theme that you can choose to follow, but are not required to. Create and link any card that is appropriate for a child and your card could be chosen as one of our top three cards and you could join us as a guest dt member on a future challenge. We are also continuing as a monthly challenge so new challenges will be posted on the first Saturday of every month and you will have a whole month to make and link your cards.

The theme for this challenge is: Easter or Spring Cards 4 Kids OR Anything Goes 4 Kids.  It may be winter, but now is the time to make and send in Easter and Spring Cards to our volunteers. But always please check the “Current Needs” page before sending in cards to see which volunteer needs what for their hospitals and kids.

We are happy to have a previous top three winner join us today as a guest dt member. Nancy Hill shared this super sweet card with us for this challenge:
