Send a Smile 4 Kids June Challenge #238

 

The theme for the June Challenge at

Follow SAS4Kids on Facebook!
is 
Teens or Tweens
 
Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.
We just want to see your wonderful creations
and hope you enjoy making and sharing them! 
 

Here is my card for June: 
 

 This card would appeal to both teens and tweens.  I chose shades of purple for this card, since it was for my daughter (who is way past her teens).  Kristi actually squealed when she opened the envelope.   The dog on the belly band looks just like her dachshund, Julie.  We celebrated  her 49th birthday on May 1st.  Three days later she had a fatal heart attack.  I'm so thankful for the memory of the big smile this card brought to her face.

This is actually a special fold card, held shut with a belly band. 



 
 Here's a peek inside:


 

 
 
It would be great if you joined the fun at the
June Challenge.
(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)
 
Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  They work so hard and are very creative! 





And to all my wonderful online friends and teammates, thank you for your thoughts, prayers and lovely cards.

Box Card for Margo

This little box card is for a 4 year old sweetie who is in the hospital undergoing cancer treatments.  

 



 Kind of puts things into perspective 

when you need to make a card like this.

I hope it made her smile.

 As usual, I made a few more cards with the leftovers.   These cards went to SAS4Kids for other children in hospitals.
