Winners for Sketch 723

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Verena has chosen the Queen: 






It was such a treat to look at the wonderful projects in the gallery this week! I was amazed at all the creative ways you made the oval focus point work. Susan's DIY oval background blew me away. Such a clever way to include the shape and the ink blending adds such a nice, soft touch. The reminder that spring is around the corner gives me hope in this snowy weather up north. Congratulations, Susan. You are our Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen B!

Freshly Made Sketches #723 - A Sketch by Verena

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!  Each week, one member of our design team creates a sketch for you to try.  The challenge is to follow our sketch while keeping 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 see what YOU create!




Hi everyone! Verena here with the sketch for this week. I went for a classic look with lots of versatility. Feel free to change the oval shape or turn the sketch. Just make it your own and have fun with it. I can't wait to look at the gallery and see what you've all come up with.







We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:

  • Please use any crafting product you would like to use.
  • Feel free to combine our challenge with up to THREE other challenges, except for another sketch challenge.
  • Please add a DIRECT link to your blog or other online gallery when adding your card to the link below.  If linking to a public gallery, use keyword #FMS723.
  • Include our challenge sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post.
  • Have fun!
This challenge will end at 3:00 EST time on Monday, February 16th.  On Tuesday, we will announce the winner of this week's challenge who will be known as the "Queen or King of Clean".  The team will choose other gallery favorites to be known as a "Perfect Princess or Prince."
