Freshly Made Sketches #737 - A Sketch by Jen B

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!

Hello!  It's Jen B here as this week's hostess! I have a straightforward sketch for you this week!  I left off the circles this time!  Feel free to leave your inner rectangle empty or fill it to the brim!  I always love to see all the different takes on the sketch!

Just a head's up that Android phone users have experienced problems opening Instagram links directly to our design team member's individual Instagram page. This is an Android problem and not something we can fix, but to make things a little easier for you to find those DT members on Instagram we've provided you with their Instagram handle.

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 #FMS737
• 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, May 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 736

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

Colien from Crea-spul van Colien

Thank you everyone for a wonderful gallery full of inspiration. There were so many beautiful cards and great interpretations of the sketch, you all made it hard to choose a winner. As I spent the last two days driving through Northern Ontario seeing countless beaver lodges, Colien's adorable birthday card just spoke to me. She created a wonderful little scene with the two beavers and cattails. Congrats Colien, you are the Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen Brum!

Hello crafters! It's Verena here with a pretty straightforward sketch for the week. Don't worry about the circles, you can go for any kind of cluster arrangement. I look forward to seeing all of your creative takes in the gallery.

Winners for Sketch 735

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

Nancy from inkblocks

I had so much fun looking at all of the cards in the gallery this week! Many of you said it was a hard sketch but that didn't stop you from coming up with truly amazing cards with such a wide variety of creative ideas. I fell in love with Nancy's card. Partly because she used circles even though my introduction to the sketch said it had squares as a break from all the circles we'd had! Mostly because the patterns in those fresh white circles on the kraft background were so wonderfully eye-catching.  Congrats Nancy, you are the Queen of Clean!!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Verena!

Freshly Made Sketches #735 - A Sketch by Kim

It's Kim and I'm bringing you this week's sketch! At the point that I put this together, we had had a lot of sketches with circles so that sent me in a very different direction. I went with squares - lots of squares! I used tiny die cuts in each one but I can imagine pattern papers or textures or something other than squares. I look forward to your creative ideas! Enjoy!!

Winners For Sketch 734

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

Minetourdi from Ma Bulle Créative

Such an amazing gallery this week!  I love how this sketch inspired all sorts of designs - from elegant florals to fun kids cards and everything in between!  Minetourdi's card caught my eye because the pink elements against the muted gray background are so eye-catching.  The distressed edges really make all the layers pop and the little mouse is so fun!  Congrats, Minetourdi, you are the Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Kim!
