Send a Smile 4 Kids May Challenge

 

The theme for the May Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

  

(Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.)

 

This is my first post for SAS4Kids in a long time.

And I came across some old stickers in my stash that will fit this theme nicely.

First I made a Father's Day card with an automobile on it.

 

Then I printed an old digi stamp with a train on it, again making a Father's Day card. 

 

 Finally, I used the airplane on the sticker sheet. 

 

My grandson, a junior at Messiah University, will be flying to Anchorage, Alaska for the summer to play in the Alaska Collegiate Baseball League on a team sponsored by AIA.  It's also the time of year when graduates all over embark on new adventures.  I made this card with Nick in mind.

 

 

 

It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send a Smile 4 Kids May Challenge - Cards 4 Dads/Special Guys

 

The theme for the May Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is 

Cards 4 Dads/Special Guys (from the kids)

 Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.

We just want to see your wonderful creations

and hope you enjoy making and sharing them!

 

 

 I've made several cards that will fit this theme.

When making cards which I know are destined for one of the children's hospitals, I try to remember that the "children" may be teens or young adults who might not be interested in giving Dad a cute card with fuzzy bunnies, corny cows, dopey dinosaurs, etc. 

I try to make a few like this:

(I know my dad would have liked this one! Miss you Dad!)

My children always had difficulties finding a card that would be appropriate for their step-father.  I thought this card would be great for those "Special" guys.

 And what if Dad is in the service, away for work, or lives far away?  Here's a card one of the kids could use.

(In case you can't read the banner because I accidentally moved the camera while taking the picture, it reads " though miles apart, we're close in heart".)

 

Hopefully I've given you some ideas when you make your cards 

 4 Dads/Special Guys (from the kids).

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #746

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

 

 

Here's the sketch with which we'd like to challenge you this week. 

The design team was instructed to
think brush strokes for those rectangles below the focal point.

 

Unfortunately, I neglected to bring any brushes with me to our winter home.  But I did bring my box of ink cubes, which I used instead.  This card could be used as a Father's Day card or a birthday card.

(Papers and stamps are from a SU Paper Pumpkin kit.)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

This Father's Day/Dad birthday card will make a nice addition to my Send a Smile 4 Kids box, which I better get in the mail soon!

The stamps are from Stampin' Up and the die cut borders are MFT.  I fussy cut the three letters.
