The Queen of Clean:  Rosemary from Hey There...rosigrl!!



A very special thank you to each one of you who participated in the challenge this week!  I can't believe all of the amazing cards that were created!  Apparently there aren't too many people out there with the same phobia of circles that I have!!!   It was such a tough choice this week but I finally decided to pick Rosemary's beautiful birthday card!  I love those rich purple flowers and that sparkly stripe!   I love Rosemary's take on the sketch!  This card makes me smile!  Congratulations Rosemary, you are this week's Queen of Clean!




Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Karren!

Jen Brum here as your hostess this week!  I can't believe all the amazing cards you guys created last week!  You must be wondering why there are so many circles on this sketch given that I came up with it!  Well, I had a stamp set in mind when I designed the sketch!  I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch this week!  Happy Creating!

Winners For Sketch 219!

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


The Queen of Clean:  Jacquie from What Did I Do Today?

Thank you to each and every one of you talented card makers who played along this week. You made my job of picking a Queen (or King) of Clean extremely difficult!  After many trips back and forth between blogs, I kept landing on Jacquie's fabulous card.  The colors were what first caught my eye, and then, after close inspection, I couldn't believe the beauty she created with those feathers, not to mention the perfect watercoloring on the panel. You are very talented, Jacquie, and very deserving of the title of Queen of Clean this week!  Congratulations!





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

Hi!  Cindy Hall here, and I'm so glad YOU'RE here!  I've been wanting to make another "joy fold" card, so I created a sketch that would lend itself to that, but, of course, it can be used for a normally folding card!  I can't wait to see what you create with it, so please, join us this week!

Winners For Sketch 218!

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


The Queen of Clean : Cori from Cori Crafts



There are so many wonderful cards in the gallery. Thank you for playing along; you all make it very hard to pick the Queen of Clean!! After the fun of browsing the entire gallery, I picked Cori's card. I love the business-like look of the kraft and paper fastener, contrasted with the pop of color in the sun and the heart. The way she added the sentiment over the pocket is especially creative.  Congrats Cori - it's fabulous!







Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Cindy Hall!

Happy New Year and welcome back to a new year of Freshly Made Sketches!!  I hope you are refreshed and ready to play along.  This is Kim - and it's my turn to bring you a sketch. I tried to create something flexible and I am looking forward to seeing how you use this one.  Are the top panels going to become decoration or is that where your image and sentiment is going to go?  I LOVE seeing what you do with each sketch.  Have fun!
