Freshly Made Sketches #33-A Sketch from Jen Mitchell

We are having a Design Team Call!  To apply, please CLICK HERE!

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!  It's Jen here this week as your hostess.  I thought that this week it might be a good idea to use up all those odd bits of cardstock and designer paper that I'm sure you've got hanging around!  So for my sketch lets see how you layer them on!  Just remember, the twist is to keep 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 visit your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch! We are also excited to welcome our May Guest Designers, Erna and Tara. On Wednesday, we will be sharing more about these lovely ladies! Thank you again to our wonderful April Guest Designers, Lisa and Kathy!!! It is always difficult to say goodbye but we are looking forward to seeing you back here, playing along with us!

Please be sure to click on each of the photos to see the winning projects!

Lesley's Choice: Judy May of Just Judy Designs. What a gorgeous flower on her card, the pretty glitter in the centre and the bright colours made this a winner for me! Such a happy card!	Cindy' Choice: Jodene of Did I Say That Out Loud? Jodene's coloring is perfection, and I love the DSP and color choices with the main image. The stitching gives it a very professional touch. Congr	Rita's Choice: Jessica of The Paper Parade. While I haven't been camping in ages, I do enjoy it and I LOVE s'mores. Jessica's card brought back lots of memories for me and I love her card.
Jen's Choice: Janet of Simply Made Cards. Janet's softly colored flowers are gorgeous and the way she layered the leaves is so unique! Simply stunnng!	Tui's Choice: Darnell of djkardkreations. So Sweet - the sentiment says it all, the sweet wee bubs and the oh so sweet nappy pins, a super sweet creation!	Jennifer's Choice: Gillian's card is absolutely stunning. The combination of colors and her lovely shading on the flower are simply fantastic!
Lisa's Coice: Sarah's card is wonderfully CAS and the shading around the tree is perfect. Wonderful masculine card Sarah!	Kathy's Choice: Tracey of My Creative Side. I loved Tracey's take on the sketch. Her colour combo and use of dsp combined with those cute elephants to make a really gorgeous baby card.

And Our Queen of Clean this week:
Jen Brum at Ladybug Designs
                                                                                   

  Jen's design is clean and simple for sure - as well as eye-catching and fabulous!  She knows how to make the most out of an arrangement of hearts!  I love the placement and color of each heart.  The textured panel adds just the right amount of color and the black outline adds definition while anchoring the design. 

 Congratulations, Jen , on being the Queen of Clean this week!  

Come back and join us tomorrow for another sketch designed by Jen Mitchell!  Also, be sure to LIKE our FACEBOOK page, it is a great way to stay connected.

Thanks for stopping by,

The Clean Team
