I must still have a little bit of spooky in my system because my first card is actually a Halloween themed card but who can resist this adorable Mummy Honey image from Sassy Studios?  It is "anything goes".

The image on this 2nd card is also is a honey.  This is Saturated Canary's Honey image.  She's so adorable.   Reminds me of my nieces. 

Now is your chance to take a break from all the holiday projects.  Create a card of any theme as long as it is 'kid' appropriate.  Link that card on the SAS4K's blog and you will be entered in a random drawing for those prizes from our amazing sponsors.  Don't forget, SAS4K also selects a 'top 3' so you may come away with a badge that you can proudly post on your blog.  Go here to see all the details.

S.A.S.4K.'s Challenge - Using punches and/or dies on kids cards

It seems like FOREVER since we've had a S.A.S.4K.'s challenge.  I'm soooo glad its time for another one.   This week, we are being challenged to use punches and/or dies on cards 4 kids.  Awesome!!!!

As always, we have 3 amazing sponsors for this challenge and they are giving out some great prizes to our random winners.  

1. Delicious Doodles - is giving 4 digis of the winners choice.  
2. Sassy Studios - is also giving 4 digi images of the winners choice. 
3. QKR Stampede - is giving 5 digi images of the winners choice.  

Wow! A huge thank you to those amazing sponsors.  

The image on my first card is from Delicious Doodles.  I'm lovin' these butterflies.  I added some punched butterflies - the large one is from glitter paper.  The others are cut from some speckles paper.  I blinged them up with some rhinestones.  That image is gorgeous and so easy to color.  

Here's a close up for you.  

On my 2nd card, I am featuring an image from Sassy Studios.  Isn't she gorgeous!!! I used one of my favorite border punches (I believe its a Martha) to accent the strip of paper down the middle.  Then I used that same border punch to create the flower embellishment.  I just HAD to add that huge rhinestone in the center of the flower.   

The back ground paper is a medium blue shimmer paper.  It looks almost black on the full size card.  Hopefully you can see the actual color on this close up.  If you look closely, you can see that I also glitzed up her gown with some glitter gel pen.  I love the subtle effect that can have on an image, even if it doesn't show up real easily on a photo.  

So remember, this is a challenge, so I invite you to play along.  Create your own kids card using punches and/or dies, link it back to the S.A.S.4K.'s blog and you will be entered in a random drawing for a chance to win some of those awesome prizes from our sponsors.  S.A.S.4K.'s also selects their top 3 cards so wouldn't it be great to be selected for that honor.  

P.S. - S.A.S.4K.'s is a great cause, so please consider donating some of your cards - go here to see how to do that.  It's a great feeling to be able to put a smile on a sick kiddos face.  Help to make their stay in the hospital a little more pleasant - even if just for a moment.  

Thanks for stopping by!
