The cute image on my first card is from Doodle Pantry - Critter Toppers.  Isn't this little chicky adorable.  I used the chalk board look we've all been seeing so much of and I think it worked out perfectly for this Mother's Day card.

Send A Smile 4 Kids - Anything Goes 4 Kids

It's a Send A Smile 4 Kids Saturday and this week we have one of my favorite challenges - Anything goes 4 kids.

As always we have 3 amazing sponsors:

• Doodle Pantry is giving a $10 gift certificate.
• A Day for Daisies is giving a $12 gift certificate.
• QKR Stampede is giving 5 digis of the winners choice.

Thank you to our sponsors for those wonderful prizes.

For my first card, I used an image and sentiment from Doodle Pantry.  They are from the Little Frog set.   So cute!  I colored that wonderful frog image with my Copic markers.  The sentiment is cut out with my Die-namics pierced circles die set.  The border punch is a Fiskars postage stamp punch. 

For my second card, I used an absolutely lovely image from A Day for Daisies - A Lap Full of Kittens.    Isn't that just the sweetest image.   Again, the image is colored with my Copic markers.  Instead of using twine as an accent, I decided to use yarn to keep with the theme of the image. 

I hope you get a chance to play along.  Create your own Anything Goes 4 Kids card, link it to the SAS4K blog and you will be entered into a random drawing for those 3 prizes listed above.  SAS4K also selects a top 3 - quite an honor.  Go here to see the complete rules.  You can also see more about our cause and get details on how you can donate.

Please note I have entered my cards in the following challenges
Card 1:
Charisma Cardz - Its a boy thing

Card 2:
Savvy Handmade Cards - Furry Friends Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to play along.

S.A.S.4K. - Pastel 4 Kids

Wooo hoooo!   It's a good day at our house.   It's my husband's birthday so our son is home for the weekend. Yeah!

It's also Send A Smile 4 Kids Saturday so we are introducing a new challenge - Pastel 4 Kids.

As always, we have some amazing sponsors giving some very generous prizes.

1. Dollar Graphics Depot - is giving a $15 gift certificate
2. A Day for Daisies - is giving a $12 gift certificate
3. QKR Stampede - is giving 5 digi images of the winners choice

Here's my first card.  This gorgeous images is called Book Time from A Day For Daisies.  I love this image because it reminds me of my son when he was little.  I know this is a little girl in the image, but when my son was little, he would 'read' all the time. Sometimes I would find him in his closet (not sure why he would go there). He would create a little nest for himself with blankets and pillows and would spend hours 'reading' even though he was too young to actually read a word.  

Here's a closer look at this amazing image.

The image on this second card is from Dollar Graphics Depot.   Another super cute image!!

I think the soft pastel colors make it look even cuter.  

For more inspiration, you can see the cards created by the rest of the S.A.S.4K. design team.  Then  its time for you to create a pastel card 4 kids.  Show us your card by linking it to the S.A.S.4K blog, and you will be entered in a drawing for those great prizes from our sponsors listed about.  Go here to see the full rules.  

I hope you get a chance to play along
