SAS4Kids: Anything Goes 4 Kids!

Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday! It's time for a new challege here at Send a Smile 4 Kids. 

Before we get to our this month's challenge, I have the pleasure of announcing the July participant who has been randomly selected to join us as a Guest Designer. The lucky number was 1Congratulations, Tinyworks! 

Please email me at cards.by.sybrina@gmail.com, including SAS4Kids in the subject line, to schedule your upcoming guest appearance. Our thanks to everyone who played along with last month's Christmas in July challenge. It was great fun to see snowy scenes, winter critters, and more than one adorable snowman.  :) 

This is our last challenge before we start focusing on fall and winter holidays. So, we thought this would be a perfect time for an Anything Goes month. Maybe you want to get an early start on those fall/Halloween or Christmas cards, inking up some jack-o-lanterns or Santas. Or maybe you prefer to make a few generic, non-specific themed cards to send to your favorite shipper(s). You will see that our designers focused on birthday cards... just in case our shippers needed to have a few of these on hand before the holiday season kicks into full gear.   :)

This month, we are thrilled to welcome Darlene of Dar's Crafty Creations as a Guest Designer. And "Crafty Creations" is a perfect name for Darlene's blog. Perfect name! Darlene loves trying her hand at a variety of different challenges: Christmas challenges, CAS challenges, sketch challenges, board challenges, element challenges.... Well, you get the idea! Thank you so much, Darlene, for sharing your talents and passion with us. This fun Disney card would surely bring a huge smile to a little face.

Even though our DT focused on birthday cards, it is an Anything Goes month. ANY kiddie-appropriate card can be entered in this month's challenge, and you have until Friday, September 4, to link up your creation. While you aren't required to donate your linked-up card to SAS4Kids, one of our hospitalized patients would love it if you did. Card submission information can be found by clicking on the tabs at the top of this page.

If you're interested in getting a head start on holiday cards for the kids, here are our upcoming holiday deadlines.

    Cute Fall/Halloween - October 5
    Thanksgiving - November 5
    Christmas/Winter Cards - December 5

As always, thank you for all you do for SAS4Kids. Can't wait to see your works of heart in our August gallery!
