AND, they’ve asked five of their friends to do the same thing!

I like the design and colors on Betsy’s card….very cute cards ladies!
What a fabulous cards.. my fave is Betsy’s card.. totally awesome using buttons as hot air balloon.. WOOOW!! I would love to have this magz..
My favorite card is the “Miss You” with the bird on the tree branch. This little birdie looks so ‘lonely.’
Those cards are absolutely amazing! Wow! The Soaring by with the buttons is just adorable!
I love the squares Betsy used on her card.
All of the cards are awesome and inspiring! But my favorite was Betsy’s with the quilt pattern in the card layout – it’s a great way to use papers and scraps – which I always have a TON of! Thanks!
I looked at ACMoore for this mag today- no dice. They don’t carry Papercrafts at all.
Michaels sometime later this week. I love the button balloons- I can’t wait to dive in and see more!
Love Betsy’s card with the colours and patterns. Love Maren’s with the shape and the tree; love Kim H’s w/ the patterns and the adorable purse shape! Well-done to all Go-To Gals!!! They really are all awesome!
These are gorgeous cards, but I just adore Betsy’s card…the colors are gorgeous!
Gorgeous Cards! Such sweet inspiration for me! Thank you SO MUCH! I love to hop along too
Sooo cute and very timely for those of us in need of creative inspiration! Thanks =)
wow, would love to win a copy of that great sketch issue! what inspiration!
There are really beautiful projects! Loved the blog hop and hopefully will be able to find the book.
Love, love the birdie “Miss you” card– so sweet.
I love the Father’s Day card. I think it is the faux bois background that really does it for me.
Oh my gosh that was a lot of inspiration! I am definitely going back to check out those blogs! I loved every single sketch shown but my favorite was the purse sketch and card by Kim Hughes! Thanks so much for the fabulous hop!!
Wow! What a lot of inspiration to take in! Thanks for the hop!
fab cards. i love kim’s briliant flowers…er…bcoz i am a flower addict and the bright cheery colours so attract me.
been to all the blogs..super amazing talented crafters!
What wonderful ideas from very talented ladies….
These are all great! I think I love the girly girl purse the best though. Heather
For some reason I can’t see the 1st 2 cards on this blog, but of those I can see, I like Marin’s card best I love blog hops, but so much for getting to bed early tonight!
Oh, I adore the balloon card.! Up, up and away, in my beautiful balloon! Who wouldn’t want to soar in that pretty colorful sky (with polka dots too), and those buttons Betsy used are just too darn cute.
I just love Betsy’s card – love anything kind of ‘patchwork’ so that’s why it gets my vote – super cute!
I really like all the cards, but my favorite is the mother’s day card with the flowers on it. Everybody did a super job and I hope I can get around to all the blogs before Thursday. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Loving this blog hop! So much inspiration! My fave of the go-to gals’ cards is Kim Kesti’s. I love how she’s taken quite a simple sketch and layered it up to perfection. The bright colors work SO well together and those flowers are just so yummy! Can’t wait to try this sketch myself!
Loved all the Go To Gals and Friends cards! Thanks for sharing everyone!
I so want to win this issue. I love the card by Besty..and the other..oh my God, such inspiration…breath-taking and mindblowing..
I’m still swooning!

Well, after playing with just one of the sketches, I know I want MORE!
Great job on the special issue!
Amazing work by all but I think the card that gave me the most inspiration is Soaring by to say Hi card. I love those photo corners and I love that she used all of those little scraps of paper for the background. So sweet. I am really excited about this latest book. Can’t wait to get a copy of my own. Hope I win one!!
xoxo, Christine
Oh I love Kim’s girly girl purse!!
The one that inspires me most is the purse card. It reminds me that I need to step out of my comfort zone every once in a while!
It’s all about inspiration – and WOW – there’s a ton of it on this blog post. Loving all the art and creativity!
That’s a tough one, but I think I’m inspired most by the Dad’s card by Teri. It’s difficult to find just the right cards for the men in our life and this one definitely hits the mark. Can’t wait to hop on to all the blogs. Thanks for the fabulous inspiration and the chance to win this great magazine
WOW! Love the cards.

These things are never easy choices! Every project shows inspiration and creativeness. I especially like Betsy’s card. I can see myself trying that one.
I want to try the Birdhouse! It was done with the purse inspiration. Interesting to step out of the box, do something different but still using the inspiration sketch.
What a fun and inspiring idea – and we get a chance to win.
I absolutely LOVE Betsy’s hot air balloons – the colours, patchwork, button balloons, are all wonderful!
I’m late to the party but having a great time hopping around! I love the vibrant colours & shapes in Kim Kesti’s card.
Great cards. Theses sketches are sure going to inspire all of us.
All of these cards are SUPER cute, but my fav is the “Soaring by to say Hi” card!
I think I like the grid the best. I’m really drawn to grids.
So much inspiration! But my fav has to be the Dad card…it’s always a challenge for me to make masculine cards. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
i like the soaring by card. it reminds me of a quilt and i like that the greeting can be for anyone. i perfect card for any occasion.
Brilliant flowers inspire me.
I really like Betsy Veldman’s card with the 3 x3 grid. It’s fun to use patterned paper scraps and the photo corners add a fun new touch!
So glad you have published a sketches issue! Sketches have saved me from scrappers block countless times!
I cant pick just one …. and since my local store doesnt carry the publication, winning a copy would be GREAT!
So cool. Love the whole idea of using the sketch for a non-card item. I enjoy altering things…last non card I made is a scrapbook page.
This is going to be very difficult, but I do like the first card with the button balloons soaring. I have a soft spot for buttons and if I can find a new way to incorporate them into more creations it’s gotta be a winner for me. Thanks for sharing such great ideas—I can’t wait to dive into the new sketches magazine!!!!!!
