CAS 4 Kids Challenge

It’s Saturday and time for another fun challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids! This time our challenge is CAS 4 Kids! Create and link any Clean and Simple card for a child, and you could win one of our great prizes.

We chose this Clean and Simple theme to remind you that kids don’t need layers and layers or tons of embellishments on their cards to love them. But we also mean to point out that they deserve love and attention, so when making cards for our kids in the 15 hospitals we serve, please don’t smoke while making them, and do send in cards you would be proud to share with someone you love.

(July and August challenges will be on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays because of the holiday weekend. We will be back to our usual 1st and 3rd Saturdays in September.)

We have three very generous sponsors for this challenge: Bugaboo is giving their winner 7 digis of their choice!  Lacy Sunshine is giving their randomly picked winner 3 digis!  And Kitchen Sink Stamp’s winner gets a $25 gift certificate! TEAM S.A.S will also be choosing their favorite cards for our top three and the winners will receive a blog badge and an opportunity to be a guest design team member on a future challenge.
