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 your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch!

Happy Halloween everyone!  It's Cindy here with this week's sketch.  I had specific plans for this sketch when I created it, but then I realized that this post would occur on Halloween, so I changed it up so I could use it wish you a Happy Halloween.  As you can see with the Clean Team's creations, there are many unique ways to use this sketch to cover many occasions.  I hope you can see lots of possibilities with it, too.

Winners For Sketch 58

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

The Queen of Clean: Dawn
Tiddbits from Dawn

Wow there were so many gorgeous cards in the gallery this week!  But my eye kept coming back to Dawn's gorgeous card and all it's texture.  These colours are so striking together and the designer series papers that she's used is just beautiful.  I love her choice of stamps and the doubling up of the buttons for the centre of the medallion is a fabulous touch! Congrats, Dawn, on being Queen of Clean this week!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Cindy!

Freshly Made Sketches #58 - 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 your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch!

Hi Everyone - it's Narelle here!  I'm so excited to be sharing my first ever sketch with you all - big thanks to the "Clean Team" for asking me!  When Jennifer asked me if I'd like to create a sketch, I was a little scared as I'd never actually put pen to paper and drawn one before.  I like lot of layers and "fullness" to my cards so I designed a sketch that gives me that.  I can't wait to see what you create - I hope you have fun with it!

We would like to add a fond farewell to the amazing Ann Schach.  She has been a Guest Designer for us and this will be her last week.  What a joy it has been to work with her!!  Make sure you stop by her blog and tell her how much you have enjoyed her inspiration!

And last, we'd like to welcome back Linda Callahan who has been away on grandmother-leave.  We're so happy that she's back with us sharing her fabulous cards and signature wit!

Winners For Sketch 57

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and LeAnne has chosen her Queen!

The Queen of Clean:

Lisa J - Snowy Moose Creations

What a difficult decision to make this week!  I finally decided on this adorable, fun creation stamped by Lisa -- it just brought a smile to my face!  The color combination is fresh and cute, and her little stacking birdcages topped with that wise old owl added a whimsical touch.  The embossing on the top layer added a nice bit of interest without detracting from the focal point and her simple banner sentiment and bow finished it off nicely!  Congrats on being Queen of Clean this week!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Guest Designer Narelle!

Freshly Made Sketches #57 - A Sketch by LeAnne

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!  This week, our guest designer LeAnne has created 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 your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch!

Hi everyone, LeAnne here!  Thanks to the "Clean Team" for allowing me to share my sketch with you!  This is what I call my “go-to” layout; if I need a quick card, this is usually the sketch I use!  You can alter the size of the two panels easily, especially if you’re using a scrap of something.  I find that SU’s designer paper usually has complementary patterns on either side of one sheet, so just taking a piece, cutting it and flipping it over so you have two patterns from the same sheet works wonderfully!  But feel free to use whatever cardstock or paper suits your fancy!  Can't wait to see what you create!

Winners For Sketch 56

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Rita has chosen her Queen!

The Queen of Clean:

Erna Logtenberg

Erna really wowed me with this gorgeous Christmas card.  It has texture and dimension and the colors are just fabulous!   Her embellishments add so much; I just love the hint of twine topped with the button and tags.  She really created a show-stopper with this one.  Congratulations, Erna, on being my Queen for the week!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Guest Designer LeAnne!
