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

Donna of Three Umbrellas

We are so grateful to all of you who joined our sketch #700 celebration.  You inspire us week in and week out so it is no surprise that our gallery was full of incredible work this week.  This happy card really jumped out at us with this gorgeous shading and those bold colors.  That little leaf detail is just perfect. Congrats Donna, you are our Queen of Clean!

Freshly Made Sketches #700 - Fourteen Years of Sketches

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!

We are celebrating sketch #700 this week!  Fourteen (14!) years of inspiration and creativity is definitely something to celebrate.  We went back into the archives and thought it might be fun to use sketch #14.  We have asked our "inactive" DT members back to join us.  Because once you are on the DT, we never really let you leave our family.  And for an extra bit of throwback, each DT member is sharing the very first card they made as a player in the challenge.  And we still have three original team members, Jen Mitchell and Linda Callahan plus Rita Wright, who will share their cards from challenge #1.  We hope you will join us and, as always, we look forward to seeing you in the gallery!

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 #FMS700.
• Include our challenge sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post.
• Have fun!

This challenge will end at 3:00 EDT time on Monday, August 25th.  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."

Winners For Sketch 699!

 

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

Nance of NanceE's Paper Designs

The gallery blew me away this week. There were so many beautiful takes on the sketch. Your creativity truly knows no bounds! Nance's vibrant card just grabbed my attention and seemed so fitting for the end of summer. I loved all the details: the bright colours, the movement of the water, the textured background and the sentiment itself. It all worked together beautifully. Congrats Nance, you are our Queen of Clean!

Hi all! Verena here. My sketch this week has a split focal point. You can use any shape you want, keep it simple or add lots of layers. I hope you’ll have fun with it and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Winners For Sketch 698!

 

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

Vicki of All I Do is Stamp

What an amazing gallery! I saved so many things to my inspiration files and my stamping wishlist has grown after seeing the products you've used in such fun and unique ways!  I think the three small panels in the sketch gave even the cleanest of cardmakers free rein to add color and patterns to those small areas - it was fun to see them all. But I still kept coming back to this classic white card. Vicki's card is fresh and clean but still full of details with the buildings and the "warm" windows all lit up in one of them. Congrats Vicki. You are our Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Verena.

It's my turn to challenge you with our weekly sketch! I created this one with the idea of a variety of postage stamp images and dies. I also wanted it to be slightly different from just four rectangular stamps. But you'll see from our amazingly creative design team that there are many MANY different ways of using this sketch including leaves and even luggage! I look forward to seeing your creations. Will you go with my vision of postage? Or will you you come up with other creative options?!

Su Mohr of Aromas and Art

The gallery was fabulous this week! I enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful creations! Maybe it’s the teacher on me but I was drawn to Su’s back to school card!
