Go-To Sketches Top 10 Blog Hop

Hello all and welcome to your next stop in the Go-To Sketches Top 10 Blog Hop! If you have stopped here first, be sure to hop on over to the Moxie Fab World Blog for the start of this Blog Hop celebration.


So, this is what the celebration is all about...This amazing Go-To Sketches issue! That's jam packed with inspiring and unique sketches, brought to you by the ever so talented Go-To-Gal's them selves! One of the sketches you will find amongst it's pages is the one pictured below, created by one of my inspirations: Jessica Witty. The top 10 most-published designers of this issue have all joined together and created a never seen before card, based off of this fabulous sketch...
For some reason I can't ever just stick to the rules, so here is my flipped take...
As you can see, not only did I reverse the scalloped border but I turned it into a row of yummy jumbled up buttons. To keep with the circular theme, I stamped the rectangular panel with polka dots from Dot Spot and rounded the bottom corner of the Kraft card base. Completed the card with a ribbon tab and more buttons.
I thought these jumbled up buttons created a super fun detail and a perfect compliment to this cheery color combo of Sweet Blush and Hawaiian Shores. For some reason this card kind of reminds me of bubble gum, mmmmmmmm!

To continue your inspiring Blog Hop journey, here is the list of participating designers:

In addition, we have a special guest who will be joining us: Donna Salazar! The Distrezz-it-All is one of the prizes that will be up for grabs, and since this is her tool, she wants to play along too. Please check out her blog as well to see her project using the sketch.

So, how about those prizes!!! Here is what will be given away to 2 lucky winners!
  • A Distrezz-it-All
  • 2 copies of Go-To Sketches (one to keep for yourself and another to share with a friend)

You have 12 chances to win, just leave a comment on the Moxie Fab World blog and the 11 other participants blogs.

One last tid-bit before I finish, be sure to stop by and post a comment on the Paper Crafts Connection blog for a chance to win a Card Companion Kit from Doodlebug Design.

Thanks for hopping by! Enjoy the Blog Hop and have a wonderful day!
