SAS4Kids: May Marvels

Hello! Hope your summer is off to a fabulous start!

Huge kudos to everyone who linked up a card in May. Our gallery had so many amazing cards, including wonderful cards for those special guys in our kids' lives. Thank you, all!

Here are three cards that caught our eye.

#4 A. Rose

This card's base is an amazing mash-up of gray cardstock and cool dp.

And, who doesn't love an elephant in overalls?!!!

#10 Tinstar Designs

A DTer described Tristan's creation as "an adorable dorky card with hugs".

Couldn't have said it better myself! Too cute!!!

#13 Karen D.

Our team loved how this starburst of colors splashed color around entire card! 

And, that raised "Big HUGS" design is sure to bring a Big SMILE to its recipient.

Congratulations, ladies! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

Our current challenge is Tween/Teen Cards 4 Kids and runs through July 2. However, any kid-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.

As always, thanks so much for your support of SAS4Kids! We really appreciate it... more than you can possibly know.  :)

SAS4Kids: Tween/Teen Cards

Hi, everyone! Happy June! Yes, June. Not quite sure how that's happened, but it really is time for our June challenge. 

Our shippers are recovering from a pretty busy stretch of sending out cards, jumping from Valentines and bunnies to flowers (for moms) and guy-things (for dads). (Thank you so much, shippers! You are truly our unsung heroes!) So, our DT is taking advantage of this lull in the action to focus on our tween/teen patients. When I was shipping for Nationwide Children's, I was always excited to receive cards for our older patients. 

In addition to having some fabulous DT cards to share, we are thrilled to welcome two incredibly talented Guest Designers. Thank you, Bernadet and Melanie, for sharing your talents with us!!!!!

Any kiddie-appropriate can be linked up for this month's challenge, and you have until July 2 to link up your creation. While you aren't required to donate your card to SAS4Kids to play along with us, one of our hospitalized patients would love it if you did. Card submission information can be found by clicking on the tabs at the top of this page. 

And now, for the very first time, non-bloggers are able to join in our challenge fun! Yes! If you are a non-blogging cardmaker who would like to link up a card, instructions can be found in THIS VIDEO. Note: the first half of the video is general InLinkz material that applies to setting up a blog InLinkz link. You will need to scroll down a bit to get to the part of the video that gives specific information for linking up your card's image. 

As always, thanks to everyone for your support of SAS4Kids. Hope to see you all in our June gallery. 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Hi, everyone! Welcome back!

It was such fun to see so many wonderful Mom/Special Gal Cards in last month's gallery. Today, we are featuring three cards from last month's challenge. To visit our honorees' blogs, please click on the linked names. 

2. Deanne

We're suckers around here for shaped cards for our kids,
and this teacup shape is perfect for a Mom Card!

11. Melanie H

We're suckers for mess-free sparkly cards, too!
Melanie's use of embossing paste is a great way to add that extra sparkle.

13. Shellshearer

Lastly, we're also pretty keen on slimline cards here. 
And, this little piggy is sure to bring a big smile to a little face!

Congratulations, ladies! Great job!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us.
