Hi, everyone! Happy October! (Is anyone else wondering where September went?) And Happy World Card Making Day!!!
Before we get to this month's challenge, I have the pleasure of announcing the September participant who has been randomly selected to join us as a Guest Designer. The lucky number was 9.
Congratulations, Tinyworks! Think that's two months in a row. Wow! Talk about luck! Please be sure to send me an email, including SAS4Kids in the subject line, at cards[dot]by[dot]sybrina[at]gmail[dot]com to schedule your upcoming guest designer appearance. A huge shout-out goes to all those who played along with us last month. My shipping days taught me that our card makers love making Halloween cards for our kids. LOVE IT! And we sure had a gallery of cute, cute, cute Halloween cards last month.
This month, we have a completely new challenge for us. Brand spanking new! Our challenge is to make a holiday card featuring your favorite holiday color combination. While all our designers have made Christmas/winter-themed cards, any holiday combo can work.
* Maybe purple, green, and gold for Halloween?
* Maybe teal, deep red, and golden mustard for Thanksgiving?
* Maybe red, black, and white for Valentine's?
* Maybe pink, lilac, and minty green for Mother's Day?
Your holiday choice, your color combo! Here are our designers' favorite holiday colors.
While we are featuring favorite holiday color combos this month, any kiddie-appropriate card can be linked up for this month's challenge and you have until Friday, October 31 to link up your creation. While you aren't required to donate your card to SAS4Kids in order to play along, one of our hospitalized patients would love it if you did. Card guidelines and shipper information can be found by clicking on the tabs at the top of this page.
For those working on holiday cards, here are a few upcoming deadlines for getting cards to your favorite shipper(s). Thanksgiving is not a huge holiday for us... but if you are working on any of those cards, please note that deadline.
Thanksgiving - November 5
Christmas/Winter - December 5
As always, thank you for joining us here at SAS4Kids. We can't wait to see your creation in our October gallery.
