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."
