SAS4Kids: January Jewels

Hi, everyone! Welcome back!

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who played along with last month's Love/Valentines 4 Kids Challenge and/or sent cards to our shippers. We know it can be tough to get back to crafting so soon after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We truly appreciate all of our wonderful card makers who did just that. You all are the best! 

The cards in our January Gallery were just so sweet. Here are three that caught our eyes. 

4. GinnyShrei

Ginny's pup and birdie are absolutely adorable... and beautifully colored!

Moreover, her curved sentiment and torn edges are great design elements.

6. Kid's Card with Love

Jose's pastel-colored dinosaurs make for such an unusual spring card.

And we know how much kids love shape cards. How fun!

10. Maria Giselle

We can't get over the level of detail Maria Giselle put into this card. 

Look closely at those Xs and Os. Really closely.

Those are all die cuts. All of them. Absolutely mind blowing!

Congratulations, ladies! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us. Be sure to grab our Top 3 badge to display on your blog.

Our current Spring/Easter Cards 4 Kids Challenge runs until March 1. While we are featuring Spring/Easter 4 Kids this month, any kiddie-appropriate card can be linked up for the challenge. 

It is never required that you donate your card after linking it up for the challenge, but a hospitalized kiddie/tween/teen would surely appreciate it if you did. The deadline for getting Spring/Easter cards to your favorite shipper(s) is actually just a couple days away. If you have Spring/Easter cards to get to your shipper(s), please reach out to them ASAP.

As always, thank you for all you do for our SAS4Kids patients. 

SAS4Kids: Easter/Spring Cards 4 Kids

Hi, everyone! It's the first Saturday of a new month which means it's time for a new Send a Smile 4 Kids challenge. This month, our theme is Easter or Spring Cards 4 Kids.

While I'm still finishing up Valentine cards for family members, our shippers have already sent Valentine and Love cards to their hospitals. They have turned their thoughts to hopping bunnies, colorful Easter eggs, cute baby animals, and pretty pastel flowers. The earliest possible date for Easter is March 22 and, this year, the holiday falls on March 31. So, our deadline for getting those Easter and Spring cards to our shippers falls around March 4.

Here's a look at the cards our talented designers have created for this challenge!

You have until noon US/Central Time on Friday, March 1, to join in our February challenge. Since all SAS4Kids challenges are card specific, only kid-appropriate linked-up cards (any theme) will be eligible for DT Shout-out recognition. It is not required that you send your card to one of our shippers... but an in-patient child/teen would love it if you did.

As always, thank you for your support of SAS4Kids. We look forward to seeing your works of heart in our February gallery.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
