Winners Announced and Welcome to a New TEAM SAS Member!

(For our current challenge, please go here.) 

It's another fun Saturday at Send a Smile 4 Kids because we get to make 5 lucky and talented participants in our For the Girls challenge very happy! But first we are thrilled to be introducing our newest member of TEAM S.A.S! Krafty Karen has been a participant in many of our challenges and her beautiful cards have been chosen as part of our top three. She has also sent in her lovely cards for our kids inpatient in children’s hospitals. Here is what Karen shared to introduce herself to all of us:

Hello Everyone,

I'm Karen from England and I am 40 years old (newly!! Lol..) I began card making a little over 6 years ago - and I live, breath, and sleep colouring!  Smiles.  I like all kinds of medium but my all out (most used) favourite is most definitely my Copics!! I am a stay at home Mum of five but only four are still living at home with me now.  I have a very understanding husband so I am very, very lucky as far as my addiction (ooops! Sorry!)  HOBBY goes.. Hehehe. I feel so very excited to be joining the team at SAS4Kids - I have been in awe of all that they do for so very long now.  And it's just so fantastic that I'm going to be a part of it.  Smiles.

Hugs & HaPPy Crafting!

ATTENTION ALL SUBSCRIBERS!

For the current challenge, please go here. 

Because of cost concerns, SAS4kids is changing our subscription service to the free one offered by Blogger. 

IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE RECEIVING OUR WEEKLY BLOG POSTS IN YOUR EMAIL MAILBOX, YOU MUST GO TO OUR BLOG HERE AND COMPLETE A NEW SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST.

The new "Follow by Email" blog badge is the first thing on the top right. Just fill in your email address and your SAS4Kids ideas and new challenges will keep coming by email. 

For a short time you may receive two emails while this transition happens. One thing we will miss with this change is, we have no control over when you will receive the emails. It appears from my trial run, you will receive the email for your SAS4Kids blog updates overnight on the day we post, so while you should still receive the email updates once a week, they will be one day later (unless you are up in the middle of the night:)

We am sorry for any confusion or extra work this will cause you. But the cost has doubled and we just can't continue to justify the expense.

We love our subscribers and hope you all choose to stay on our subscription list. And welcome to any new subscribers and followers as we continue to share great challenges and fun ideas from our design team.

Before I share the cards by our design team, I am sad to say today is the last challenge Shelby will be participating in as a part of our team. We have loved having Shelby as a part of TEAM S.A.S. and will miss her beautiful cards and sense of humor and her help in lining up sponsors for the last year. We wish her nothing but the best in the future and hope to see her around SAS4Kids entering our challenges. Here is Shelby’s card featuring a lovely digital stamp by Saturated Canary and here is a link to her blog to wish her well and see her other awesome cards.
