Halloween or Fall Cards 4 Kids at the Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge

It's the 1st Saturday of the month and that means it is time for another challenge at the Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge Blog.  The theme for this challenge is Cards 4 Halloween or Fall or Anything Goes 4 Kids.  This challenge no longer has sponsors so you will be participating for pride not prize.

Send a Smile 4 Kids charity is dedicated to collecting and distributing handmade cards to children who are inpatient at Children's Hospitals.  Please send us your handmade kids' cards for holidays, birthdays, and everyday cheer.  Help us put a smile on our kids' faces.



Halloween or Fall Cards 4 Kids Card Recipe

I was behind as always.  I actually turned in last month's card early and I just knew I would forget about the month of September.  It was a self fulfilling prophecy.  I pulled out an old faithful from My Favorite Things and decided I was going to color only some elements of the images I stamped.  And of course I had to add some splatter.  I found some fall plaid card stock from Lawn Fawn and used it to mat my card front.  These mice are so cute and I just love fall weather.  Starbucks and Dunkin have Pumpkin Spice flavored coffee - yum!  And it is getting dark earlier.  I am looking forward to wearing blue jeans and sweatshirt and socks.  LOL. So here you go - September's card. 

 Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Consider entering our challenge and donating your hand made cards to our great charity.

It is Thursday and that means it is time for a new challenge at the Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog.  This week's theme challenge is All Stitched Up.  Our sponsor is Dr. Digi's and if you enter you have the chance to win 2 images from the shop.  

I used digi stamp Climbing Kittens to create my card.






Funny Card Recipe

I knew when I saw this image that I had the perfect sentiment for it.  Are You Kitten Me? Is from my old Fun Stampers Journey days.  I thought that sentiment was hilarious and I still do.  I printed off the image and stamped my sentiment.  I inked around the edges of the card front for interest.  I found some card stock with kitty images on it and that yard print just yelled - pick me!  pick me!  It is such a cute image that it can stand alone without any extras.

Here are some affiliate links for products I used for this card.  No cost to you, but I get a small commission if you purchase a product through this link:
