Terrific cards ladies!! Please grab your Top Three blog badge from the side of the blog and put it on your blog with pride. And if you would like to be a guest dt member on a future challenge, send me an email and we will arrange that.

Because we are all about helping put a smile on children's faces, I would like to encourage you to visit NanaConnie's blogpost that features her winning card above using a digital stamp from Dustin Pike. You can read about a little girl named Emily who has had leukemia and other health issues and how you can get a free digital stamp from Dustin Pike and make a card to put a smile on her face. Dustin has all the info on his blog here on how to get his special digital stamps and where to send the card.

Our current challenge, Things with Wings (for kids) is open until April 6th at noon CST, so there is plenty of time to make and link a card for chances at great prizes and/or our Top Three. So come join in the fun and after you do, please consider sending in the card to cheer one of our kids in a children's hospital. All the details you need to know are under the tabs above. But you do not need to send in the card to enter our challenges.

Things with Wings Challenge and Card Drive!

We are excited to start a new challenge today and our theme is Things with Wings (for kids). We are also thrilled to be joining up with Flutter by Wednesday Challenge Blog this week as they do a Card Drive for SAS4Kids! We are so grateful to Danni and her team for helping to spread the word about Send a Smile 4 Kids and encouraging their challenge participants to send in their cards to cheer a child who is inpatient in one of the seven children's hospitals we are now servicing.

We have two generous sponsors this week who have shared their images with our design team to use and are offering great prizes you can win in our random drawings. Stamping Dragon Designs will award their winner 4 digis of his or her choice, and Karen's Doodles is offering their winner 3 digi images.

We are pleased to be joined today by two guest dt members from the Flutter by Wednesday team. Here are their cards, and remember to click on their names to visit their blogs for more details and other great cards.

CAS (Clean and Simple) For Kids Challenge

It's time for another new challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids and our theme is CAS (Clean and Simple) for Kids. Of course, CAS does not mean slap a couple stickers on a card and call it done. But it does mean you don't have to have many many layers or anything real complicated and kids will love the card, because YOU made it!

We have three wonderful sponsors for this challenge: Doodle Pantry is rewarding a random winner a $15 gift certificate; The Cutting Cafe's prize is 3 sets of digital stamps or cutting files; and Sassy Studio's prize is 4 digis of the winner's choice! Plus we will be choosing our Top Three who will win a blog badge and an opportunity to be a guest dt member in a future challenge.

We are happy to have a previous Top Three winner as a guest dt member today - Ivonne Hernandez has shared with us two lovely cards using our sponsor's images. Click on her name to visit her blog for more inspiration. Thanks Ivonne!


And here to inspire you are the TEAM S.A.S. cards using images from our sponsors. As always, just click on their names to go to their blogs for more details on the cards plus other fantastic cards and ideas.
