First Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge of the new year

After a holiday break, Send A Smile 4 Kids is back with a new challenge - Valentines 4 kids. I can still remember those awesome Valentines parties when I was in grade school.  I loved trading Valentines. That was one of my favorite days of the school year. 

That's what I was thinking about when making these cards but before I show them to you, I must tell you about our wonderful sponsors for this challenge.

1. Dollar Graphics Depot is giving one lucky winner a $15 gift certificate.
2. Bugaboo is giving 7, yes 7 digi images of the winners choice
3. Fred She Said is giving one lucky winner a $10 gift certificate.

A huge thank you goes out to those amazing sponsors.

Now for my cards. 

The image on this first card is from Bugaboo called Ava Heart.   Isn't she the cutest?   She is perfect for that traditional looking Valentine.   I couldn't resist adding some bling with those heart rhinestones. 

The image on this second card is from Dollar Graphics Depot from a set call the Valentine Mix by Prints of Joy.   The cuteness factor is off the charts today.  This whole set is adorable. 

Since this is a challenge, we hope you'll get a chance to play along.  Link your creation to the SAS4K blog and you will be entered into a random drawing for those amazing prizes from our wonderful sponsors.   Remember, SAS4K also chooses a 'top 3' which is a huge honor.   You can go here to see the complete rules.

Send A Smile 4 Kids - Animal Cards 4 Kids

I love S.A.S.4K.'s Saturday.  Sometimes, even with a hobby like card making, I start to take things too seriously.  That all goes away with S.A.S.4K.'s Saturday.  I'm free to bring out the bright colors and just have fun.  The theme for this week's challenge is Animal Cards 4 Kids.  What could be more fun than these adorable animal images.  Soooooo cute!!!

The image on my first card is from Bugaboo.  I love Bugaboo images.   They are all super cute but especially all the little animals and critter images they have.  This is one of my favorites - it's called Giraffe heart 2.

Here's a close up so you can see how I popped it.  I'm not sure where this sentiment is from.   It's part of a mystery set I picked up at my local Goodwill.

The image on my second card is from Dollar Graphics Depot.  This adorable zebra is from the Baby Zoo Animals set - from the original artwork of Alice Smith.  How cute is he?!?!

Want to see a close up???

So, do you just want to have some fun? No seriousness, just some free spirited fun?   Pull out your animal images and create a card or maybe a few - remember, these cards should be kid friendly. Link your card(s) on the S.A.S.4K.'s blog, and you will be entered into a random drawing for some amazing prizes from this weeks sponsors. S.A.S.4K.'s also selects a 'top 3' so show us your talent and you may be spotlighted for it.  Go here to see the complete rules.

I haven't forgotten about our amazing sponsors for this weeks challenge.  A huge thank you to these special folks for their generosity.
