Do you love to stamp for the little ones in your life? Making cards for kids is so fun and so rewarding, they’re always thrilled with a handmade card.

Children in hospitals for long stays don’t always have someone who can make a handmade card for them, that’s where this wonderful charity steps in to help out.

Send a Smile 4 Kids is a volunteer organization made up of folks at children’s hospitals who collect handmade cards and distribute them to the kids. Every kid stuck in a hospital bed could use a smile, right?. Maybe you have some extra cards lying around that you could send?

The current challenge is Animals 4 Kids and Stampendous is a proud sponsor of their Challenge Blog as well. You can find out more here as well as upcoming themes on their blog sidebar.
