Winners For Sketch 615

 

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

The Queen of Clean is Michele Ferguson of I Card Everyone



This week's gallery was a feast for the eyes!  Everyone did such a great job and created such wonderful cards.  Thank you for playing along with my sketch.  My number one pick this week is entry number one - from Michele Ferguson.  The stunning white-on-white background using that fabulous ribbon die is a real standout, topped off with the beautiful poinsettias and foliage spray.  Just gorgeous!  Congrats Michele, you are the Queen of Clean!

Oh wow!  This week's gallery was full of the most amazing cards!  I was blown away with the different themes and colours and just how original they each were!  As soon as I saw Caroline's card it won my heart over!  First of all, this was her 4th attempt at this card and it's so sweet!  I love her underwater theme complete with bubbles and the most adorable group of sea creatures! Congrats Caroline, you are the Queen of Clean!

Hello!  It's Jen B!  I'm so thrilled to be your hostess this week!  I've heard that to get over your fear of something you need to expose yourself to it.  Since I'm not a huge fan of circles I thought I would attempt to get over this dislike with a ton of circles on my sketch!  I'm not sure it worked but I gave it a try!  I'm pumped to see what you come up with this week!  I always love to see the diversity in each card!  I can't wait to see what you create!

We are featuring another of our fabulous guest designers from our FMS#600 Celebration!

Winners For Sketch 613

 

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

The Queen of Clean is Kristin Sluhan of paper fiori



As always, you all outdid yourselves with the amazing cards in the gallery.  I always get inspiration and my wishlist gets bigger when I look at all the cards! My pick for Queen is Kristin Sluhan.  I was drawn to the drama of the big sparkly black bow with a few sprigs of green all on a gorgeous background. Congrats, Kristin, you are the Queen of Clean!

Freshly Made Sketches #613 - A Sketch by Kim

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!


It's Kim and it's time for a new sketch!!  When I'm thinking about a sketch, I look at the products I have on hand and figure out how I'm going to use them. For this sketch, I have a number of large Christmas dies that I haven't used yet. A lot of sketches and layouts don't work with big dies so I left lots of open space for you to use as you like. Then I don't tend to use a lot of patterened paper but I love just a splash of it so I added a banner across the bottom of all of that open space.  I hope you have fun with it!
