For the Boys at Send a Smile 4 Kids!


It’s Saturday and time for another fun challenge at Send a Smile 4 Kids! This time our challenge is For the Boys! Create and link any card for a boy and you could win one of our great prizes. Cards for boys –especially the older boys- is the kind of card we receive the least here at SAS4Kids, so we are using this challenge to remind you to keep boys in mind when designing your cards to donate. Donating your card is not a requirement to enter our challenge, but our boys (and girls) in the 13 hospitals we currently serve would sure love it if you did!

We have three very generous sponsors for this challenge: Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet is giving their winner a $10 gift certificate!  Fred She Said is giving their randomly picked winner a $10 gift certificate!  And Squigglefly’s winner gets 3 digis of their choice! TEAM S.A.S will also be choosing their favorite cards for our top three and the winners will receive a blog badge and an opportunity to be a guest design team member on a future challenge.

I love the "Bumpy Road" silhouette digital stamp from Stitchy Stamps of Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet on the card above! I simply printed him on some striped dp, and added the "Be" stamp and "Awesome" die cut from Studio Calico. Then I attached the whole front to a black card base.

I have been seeing many Etch-a-Sketch cards in Pinterest land lately and thought the cute robot from Squigglefly would be perfect for one. I am wondering, though, do today's kids even know what an Etch-a-Sketch is? Not sure if they are even sold anymore, but I sure remember them. I printed the cute robot on grey cardstock and cut it out with rounded corners. I attached to a red card base also with rounded corners and added the "knobs" popped up on pop dots.

I am entering these cards in the Masculine challenge at Cuttin' and Stampin' , the Design Team Showcase and the Anything Goes challenge at Love's Rubberstamps.

    Oh my goodness, that "be awesome" card is fabulous Karen! Love it!! I also love the etch-a-sketch card, how fun is that?! Yes, they still do sell the etch-a-sketch, I bought one to keep at my house for the grandkids. lol It doesn't get played with as much as some other things, but it does get played with. Hugs, Brenda

    Love your skateboarding card. Any teen would enjoy something that is so obviously made for them.

    I used to find the etch-a-sketch so frustrating. My brother (now an engineer) used to love making elaborate pictures with it and I could only make the most basic patterns because the l could never wrap my head around not being able to have curves.

    Etch-a-sketches are still sold but they are often now in different colours or whatever is the latest movie theme. The timeless red is not as common.
