SEND A SMILE 4 KIDS
Christmas in July Challenge
and Blog Hop Celebrating our 175th Challenge!
Welcome to our huge
blog hop and celebration of Send A Smile 4 Kids’ 175th Challenge!
The theme of our blog hop is Christmas
in July 4 Kids because it is never too early to start making holiday
cards for all the kids in the many children’s hospitals we now serve. We would
love for each child to receive a holiday card as well as be able to pick some
for special medical staff or loved ones they are missing during the holiday
season.
This is my card for the hop - I've used Echo Park patterned paper, the Simon Says Stamp window die (partial cut to make the 'windows'), and Flora and Fauna clear stamps. This will be one of the many holiday cards I deliver to my hospital: Mary Bridge Children's in Tacoma, WA.

Ah, Dena, what child doesn't love the idea of a little "peek-a-boo" card -- reminds me of the "find" books where children have to lift up the flaps. This is absolutely adorable, and will most likely be shared many a time with friends of the recipient. Awesome.
