Hey all! My talented friend Betsy Veldman asked me to participate in Paper Crafts' Go-To-Gals and friends blog hop with her to celebrate the new issue of Go-To Sketches! This issue is now available and you will absolutely love it!
When I received my copy, I couldn't put it down. So much inspiration inside! I'm not used to using sketches very often, but I've found lately that it is really helpful when you are in a hurry to create a nice card for somebody and want it to be awesome, but just don't have a lot of time to decide where to put things on your card. Sketches really give me that extra little bit of help when I need it. (Awesome for me, being the indecisive person that I am.) And inside are lots of ideas for each sketch, which I loved. I was lucky enough to have 3 cards chosen for this book.
Look at this cute sketch that Betsy created! Below is a new card I created from her sketch.
I used 4 squares instead of 9 and moved my sentiment over to the left. Also used butterflies instead of flowers. I raised up some of the squares with pop dots to show off the negative butterflies that I punched out of the squares. (Made with the April kit at Hip 2 Be Square Scrapbooking!)
If you'd like to win a copy of this issue, please leave a comment here on my blog and next, visit the Paper Crafts Connections blog and leave a comment there too!
The more blogs you visit in the hop, the more chances you have to win! Thanks for stopping by!
XO,
Danielle

Your card is so colorful and cute! I love it!
adorable!--love your blog!
I like your version of the sketch. I have always loved sketch the are great inspiration for scrapbook layouts too. If I find myself in a rut for picture placement I look for a new sketch that works with the pictures I have and shortly after a new layout comes into view. So I guess card sketch are great too!
