SAS4Kids: Sketch-Inspired Cards 4 Kids

Hi, everyone! Happy weekend!

Yes, this is the first Saturday of a new month, which means it is time for a new Send a Smile 4 Kids challenge. 

But before we get to our new challenge, I have the pleasure of announcing the March participant who has been randomly selected to join us as a Guest Designer. The lucky number was 18. Congratulations, Deanne! Please email me at cards[dot]by[dot]sybrina[at]gmail[dot]com, including SAS4Kids in the subject line, to schedule your upcoming guest appearance.


Now for this month's challenge. This month's theme is to make a sketch-inspired kiddie card. Any sketch at all. It can be an oldie-but-goldie that has become a tried-and-true favorite or a sketch featured in a current card challenge. 

You will see that all of our designers have made mom cards. Around here, our Easter/spring deadline has passed, and our shippers are now focusing on mom/Mother's Day cards. These are cards that kids can give to the moms or special ladies in their lives. The April 15 deadline for getting these cards to your favorite shipper(s) is fast approaching.

Please stop by and check out the details for our designers' sweet cards. Then stop back by to link up a card of your very own. You have until noon Friday May 2 to play along. Remember that while the cards here have focused on sketch-inspired mom cards, ANY kiddie-appropriate card can be shared. 

Thanks so much for all you do for our SAS4Kids patients. We look forward to seeing your works-of-heart in this month's gallery.

If you linked up a card in February, please check your blog post's comments. 

We'll be back on  April 5 with a new challenge. In the meantime, happy crafting!

SAS4Kids: Animal Cards 4 Kids

Hello, everyone! Happy March!

It's the first Saturday of a new month. So, it's time for a new challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids. This month, our theme is Animal Cards 4 Kids. And, since our spring/Easter deadline is right around the corner, you are going to be seeing baby animals on our DT's cards. Nothing says spring like baby bunnies, ducklings, and chicks.











You have until Friday, April 4 to play along with us this month. Even though our theme this month is animal cards, you are always welcome to link up any kid-friendly card. Of course you are not required to donate your linked-up card to SAS4Kids, but a hospitalized child would surely love it if you did. And, we're changing things up a bit this month. We are going to randomly choose one card and invite that card's designer to join us a Guest Designer for an upcoming challenge.   

Upcoming holiday deadlines are listed below.

  • Spring/Easter: March 20
  • Mother's Day: April 15
  • Father's Day: May 15

As always, thanks for stopping by! We can't wait to see your works of heart in our March gallery.
