This month's lucky number is #5. Congratulations, Deanne! Please email me at cards.by.sybrina@gmail.com, including SAS4Kids in the subject line, to schedule your upcoming guest appearance. And a huge thank you to everyone who linked up cards for last month's challenge. 

And this month, we are thrilled to welcome Guest Designer Majda who shares her adventures in cardmaking at majdinustvarjalninemir.

But all Majda's cards showcase beautiful designer papers and interesting backgrounds. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Majda. And thank you for all your support of SAS4Kids!

Now for this month's challenge. With our upcoming Christmas/winter card deadline, we are back with our annual Holiday Cards 4 Kids Challenge. Yep, it's time to paper piece some reindeer, ink up some snowmen, cut out some candy canes, and decoupage some bells.
