Freshly Made Sketches #268 - A Sketch by Jen M. (Open until Jan. 2nd)

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!  Each week, one member of our design team creates a sketch for you to try, the twist is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh! The "Clean Team" has come up with some "Freshly Made" designs to get you in the spirit! We are so excited to visit you and to see what YOU create with our sketch!

Hello friends!  Jen Mitchell here and on behalf of the Freshly Made Sketches team I want to welcome you to our last sketch challenge for 2016!  It's been an amazing year with galleries just chock-full of beautiful designs week after week.  We want to thank each and every one of you who joined us over the last year and shared your creations.  I'm firm in my belief that it is hip to be square so for our last hurrah I've put together a square design for you (but feel free to use a rectangle too).  This challenge will be open longer than usual - closing on Monday, January 2nd so there's lots of time to play along!  We can't wait to see you in the gallery and we are looking forward to a crafty 2017 with you too!
We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:
  1. Please use any crafting product you would like to use.
  2. Feel free to combine our sketch with up to THREE other challenges, except another sketch challenge.
  3. Please add a DIRECT link to your blog or other online gallery when adding your card to the linky below.  If linking to a public gallery, please use keyword FMS268.
  4. Please include our sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post.
  5. Have fun!
This challenge will end at 3:00 PM EST on Monday, January 2nd. On Tuesday we will announce the winner of this week's sketch challenge who will known as the "Queen of Clean" and each Design Team Member will choose one "Princess".

Winners For Sketch 267!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Jennifer has chosen the Queen!
The Queen of Clean:  Dawn from Treasure Oiler Designz

I loved all the variations on my sketch this week!  So many beautiful cards!  Thank you so much for sharing your creations.  We enjoy them week in and week out!  This card with its classic Christmas colors really jumped out of the gallery.  The lovely patterns and that adorable holly are really fabulous.  

 Congratulations, Dawn, you are the Queen of Clean!




Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen Mitchell!

Hello stampers!  Jen T here with this week's sketch.  As we get closer and closer to the holidays, the team knows how busy everything can seem.  So I thought it might be good to go with a basic sketch that allows for quick, last minute holiday cards or a blank panel ready for colored images.  I hope you will join us this week.  We can't wait to see the gallery!
We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:

Winners For Sketch #266!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Amy has chosen the Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Carol from "Just Me: c"


There were lots of creative and beautiful interpretations of the sketch this week!  It was fun to see the different images and shapes that were used for the focal images.  I fell in love with Carol's cute card with the adorable Christmas figures and the creative brick chimney.  This is a Christmas card that is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

 Congratulations, Carol, you are the Queen of Clean!






Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Jennifer Timko!

Hello, everybody!  It's Amy here, and I have the privilege of being the hostess this week.  It's probably no secret that I love simple collage-style cards, so when I sat down to create the sketch for this week, I ended up with this style of card.  Please feel free to substitute other shapes for the circle and heart in the sketch.  I'm excited to see what you create!  I hope you have fun with it.

Winners For Sketch 265!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Narelle has chosen the Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Breelin from Craft-Somnia Momma

So many wonderful cards to choose from this week but I have chosen Breelin's wonderful Christmas card for Queen. I adore the little festive scene she has created with her diecuts and the combination of colour she has used are just gorgeous together.  Add in texture, bling and falling snow - these all make for a fabulous card!

 Congratulations, Breelin, you are the Queen of Clean!






Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Amy!

Hey Everyone - it's Narelle here! I've created a simple sketch for you that I hope you like.  I've gone with a Christmas card (as have a few of the DT girls) because Christmas is just around the corner and I'm scrambling to get enough cards made.  But I can totally see a non-Christmas cards too that can be made with this sketch. Can't wait to see what you create!
