SAS4Kids - Things With Wings

Good Saturday Afternoon and Happy St. Patrick's Day to those of you who celebrate.  I found a new (to me) cause and challenge blog that I think is just wonderful.  Send A Smile 4 Kids.  This week's challenge was "things with wings", butterfly, fairy, birds, etc.   This organization sends cards to hospitals for nurses to give to the younger patients ages newborn-19 years old.  These cards are given to the children to help bring a smile to their faces. They are not looking for "so sorry you're sick" type cards, they need happy cheerful type cards  to bring on the smile.   The other type of cards they have a need for are cards for the children in the hospitals to give to their parents for specific holidays, which I'm sure brings a great big smile to the parents as well as the children.  Won't you take a minute to check out their site? Maybe you too will find it a fabulous cause like I have. It's scary to be a patient and  I would imagine it's twice a bad when you are just a child and there is nothing better than to be able to bring a smile to a young patient's face   Here is the card I'm submitting for this week's challenge.
My image is from Beccy's Place  .  This was a free pre-colored digi I received a while back but now Beccy also has a new store where you can purchase her amazing images. I used a MS Border punch of both sides of a strip of card stock and the sentiment is from AMuse and punched out with the Modern Label punch from SU.  I cannot tell you who the designer paper is by as I just found it in my stash.  I'm sorry.   That will have to do it for me for today.  Thank you a whole bunch for stopping by to say hello.
