Freshly Made Sketches #368 - A Sketch by Narelle

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!

Hey Everyone! Eek! It's only one week until Christmas! I hope your tree is up and your presents are all wrapped and waiting under the tree for the big day.  I've got a few more  presents on my list to buy..... The sketch I've designed is a simple one that could be used for the layout for your last minute Christmas cards. Have fun with it!

Just a note that this is our last sketch of the year.  The team will be off until the new year but our challenge will remain open until December 31st.  We hope you will have time to create and join us over the holidays.  We wish all of you a peaceful and joy-filled holiday season!
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 FMS368.
  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, December 31st. On Tuesday we will announce the winner of this week's sketch challenge who will be known as the "Queen of Clean" and each Design Team Member will choose one "Princess".

Winners For Sketch 367

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


The Queen of Clean:  Kaja from Kajcyika Crafts




Wow, you gave us an amazing gallery this week!  I'm so glad so many of you liked our sketch enough to play along at this busy time of year.  Of course, having a great gallery makes choosing a Queen a difficult task, but I just adore Kaja's cute little kitty card!  The striped paper really draws the eye to the gorgeous blue background and beautifully coloured cat.  Congrats, Kaja, you are our Queen of Clean!


Please join us next week for a new sketch designed by Narelle!

Winners For Sketch 366

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


The Queen of Clean:  Amber from Forever Amber's Art




Thanks so much to everyone who joined us in the gallery this week!  It's been truly tough to choose just one card among all those beautiful entries. Still, Amber's gorgeous Christmas card caught my eye. I love the neutral colors, the use of corrugated paper for the striped background, the sweet little image and the tiny bells. Actually I could say I love everything about her card. Congratulations, Amber you're this week's Queen of Clean!


Please join us next week for a new sketch designed by Karren!

The Queen of Clean:  Maria from Cardbomb


Thank you so much to all of our players!  It is amazing to see the variety of cards that come out of a single sketch.  This week, Maria's absolutely charming penguin caught my eye.  I love the little scene she created in the square and the woodgrain to add interest in the background.  Also, if you click over to her blog, check out her other pictures to see all of the wonderful sparkle.  Congratulations, Maria, you're this week's Queen of Clean!
