SAS4Kids: December Darlings

Hi, everyone! Hope 2022 is off to a great start.

Huge thanks to everyone who played along with last month's Winter Cards 4 Kids Challenge. The December Gallery cards were just so darn cute! Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes.

6. Valerie

Who doesn't love an adorable doggie decked out for the holidays?

Valerie's coloring is amazing and her CAS design is pure perfection!

10. Elizabeth

We were so impressed by the depth of Elizabeth's wintry card.

All the dimension and texture here make for such a fun look!

15. Trina

Our gals were wowed with Trina's gorgeous inking and precise coloring.

Talk about a beautiful quintet of sloths!

SAS4Kids: Love/Valentine's Cards 4 Kids

Happy 2022! Thank you for joining us for a new year of challenges at Send a Smile 4 Kids. All of us here at SAS4Kids hope 2022 rings in a year of health and happiness for all of you and loved ones. 

Every December, as I wrap up my final holiday projects, I let out a big sigh of relief. Sound familiar? But then, as I put up our new calendar... and walk through the candy aisle at the local grocery, I realize that Valentine's is right around the corner. Seriously right around the corner for our shippers.

So, without further ado, let's look at the love/Valentine's cards for kids created by our designers. We're thrilled to welcome back Melanie Hungerford as a Guest Designer. Melanie shares her adventures in crafting at Cards by Melanie. Thank you so much, Melanie, for again sharing your talents with us!

Hi, everyone! It's time for a few SAS4Kids shout-outs! 

A big thanks to everyone who played along with last month's Happy Holiday Cards 4 Kids Challenge. Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes. 

1. Jan

Nothing says "Happy Holidays" to a little one like Santa,

 and nothing said fun to us like this special-fold card!

8. Donna W

Our team loved the focal point created with the layering of 

those cheery holiday papers for that sparkly sentiment. So festive! 

11. Rosi

We just fell in love with this festive light-bearing fairy. 

And that snowy effect created with acrylic paint and Wink of Stella.... WOW!

Congratulations, ladies! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us.
