DTC #188

 

Thought I'd share this springtime birthday card I've made for the new Double Trouble Challenge.  My friend's birthday is the day after Easter.  I thought adding a few Easter eggs to the flower bouquet and placing it in an eggshell container would make Thing #3, aka Twisted Sister, happy and the card timely.

Send a Smile 4 Kids April 2025 Challenge

 The theme for the April Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is "Sketch of Your Choice".

 Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.

We just want to see your wonderful creations

and hope you enjoy making and sharing them!

 

Mother's Day is May 11th.

Father's Day is June 15th.

You might want to use this opportunity to make a card for either occasion,

The deadline for submitting Mother's Day cards to SAS4K is April 15th. 

You have until  May 15th to send in Father's Day cards.

 

When I first started blogging, almost 13 years ago, I always looked forward to the weekly sketch at the Mojo Monday Challenge.  I played that challenge almost every week until it closed several years ago.  Their sketches were a great jumping off point for me as I fed my card making addiction.

This sketch is of my favorites because it has several components.   Using SU products,  I made 3 cards for you to enjoy.  Hope you do!

Looking back, always an enlightening experience,  I used this same sketch for 2 cards for a Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge, February 2015,  before I joined their design team. 

 

It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send A Smile 4 Kids .

(Cards only, please.)

Your cards need not be donated, but if you plan to do so, check the current needs of the volunteers and the deadlines on the Send A Smile 4 Kids Blog.

 

Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  They work so hard and are very creative!
