Pile It On #40 - For a Child

This week at Pile It On we want to see your cards made especially For a Child.

And it doesn't need to be for a child in your life ... Card Cupids and Send a Smile 4 Kids  are always in need of cards (just two examples; if you know of other drives, please leave the info in the comments).

We are sponsored by Softpencil Studios and one lucky winner will receive a $5.00 gift certificate to their store.

Welcome to Softpencil Studios, home of the Tinytwinies®, your new friends who will bring you joy and lots of smiles. If you are a kid or a kid at heart, there is not better place for you!
