Easter/Spring Cards for Kids Challenge

It's time for another fun new challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids and this time we are challenging you to make and link an Easter or Spring card for a child. I know it may seem early for this type of card, but remember we always need to be working ahead here at SAS4Kids because we need time to send the cards to the hospitals before the actual holiday. We would love to think that every child in all of our seven children's hospitals could receive an Easter or spring card this spring. But even if you don't send in your card, you can enter this challenge and have a chance at winning two awesome sponsor prizes or making our Top Three.

Our sponsors for this challenge are: Delicious Doodles and their prize is 4 digis of the winner's choice; and Robyn's Fetish and their prize is 5 digis of the winner's choice. Wouldn't you just love to shop these sites with these prizes? Just click on their names to check out all the great digital stamps available at both of our sponsor's sites.

We are happy to share a guest designer's card with you today. Olivia has been a frequent favorite entrant here at SAS4Kids and we shared the sponsor's images with her and this is the fun card she designed:

This card and the rest of the TEAM S.A.S. cards have put me in the mood for spring and warmer weather. We all loved designing with the images provided by Delicious Doodles and Robyn's Fetish. For more details on the cards and more inspiration, just click on the names.
