Such a beautiful gallery this week!  I love all the ways you created gorgeous backgrounds for the sketch.  This card is all that is right about fall colors and it has such a striking effect with the leaves.  Congratulations Stacy, you are our Queen of Clean!

Freshly Made Sketches #758 - A Sketch by Jen T

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!



Happy Wednesday, Stampers!  Jen T here with this week's sketch.  You'll notice there are not a lot of "specifics" on this one and that is by design.  I left a whole lot of empty space on a single layer for you to fill as you wish.  Textured, stenciled, inked, embossed - however you want to fill the space.  And one extra layer for a sentiment.  I hope you have fun with this one and I cannot wait to see what you create!

Winners For Sketch 757

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

 
 Marcia Hill of Marcia's Stampin Pad




So many great interpretations of the sketch this week!  I thought Marcia's little mouse and acorn was such a cute image and so beautifully colored.  And the textured background is a great way to show them both off.  Congratulations Marcia, you are our Queen of Clean!

Winners for Sketch 756

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Kim has chosen the Queen: 
 
 LeAnne of Wee Inklings


There were so many fun and creative entries for this simple sketch. I LOVE all the uses you found for that simple vertical stripe! I kept coming back to LeAnne's card. I love her beautiful, rich fall colors on the neutral background. It's so beautifully colored. Even the neutral elements have pretty details with the embossing and the ribbon look on the vertical stripe. Congratulations LeAnne, you are our Queen of Clean!

Freshly Made Sketches #756 - 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!



Happy New FMS Sketch Day!  It's Kim and I'm bringing you a sketch to play with this week. With my card-making style, I tend to only use patterned paper as accents so I rarely use bold prints. I put this sketch together to allow me to use a bit of bold print in that vertical stripe. You can see by browsing the design team cards that our team found a lot of different ways of using that vertical stripe - there's even ribbon and a spider and snowflakes!!  Have fun this week. I look forward to seeing your creations.

Winners for Sketch 755

 
The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Donna has chosen the Queen: 
 
 
 
There were so many creative entries and I was pleasantly surprised to see 
that not everyone saw a tree in the sketch. I was drawn to Wanda's card 
and her addition of the mistletoe on her tree and that touch of ricrac.  

 
Congratulations Wanda, you are our Queen of Clean! 
 
Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Kim!
