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!
Wow! Linda here and I can't believe we have reached our 500th Challenge! I am excited to share my sketch with you today and hope you join in our milestone challenge! Your creative designs always inspire us week after week!
Welcome to our sketch #500 celebration! Our crafting community is incredibly generous and we are so happy some of our favorite companies are helping us mark this milestone. It is hard to believe that when Lesley started this challenge, we would still be going strong 10 years later. And that, our friends, is because of YOU. Our players inspire us week in and week out with your creative takes on our designs. We are thrilled to be able to reward you with some fabulous prizes! After you take in the team's take on Linda's sketch, you can find all the details below.
It seems so appropriate that Linda is our sketch designer since she is one of the team that has been here since the beginning! Also, some of the team members are giving away their own prizes as part of the celebration. Those will be listed on our personal blogs along with the details to win! Please hop through our links to see our own thoughts on this celebration and to say hi!
Our winners of these prizes will be randomly chosen from those who join the gallery this week. Once chosen, we will contact you via the information you give in the link tool and post here on the blog. You will have 5 days to respond or we will choose a different recipient. So make sure you come back next week to check!
