Freshly Made Sketches #218 - 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 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!

Happy New Year and welcome back to a new year of Freshly Made Sketches!!  I hope you are refreshed and ready to play along.  This is Kim - and it's my turn to bring you a sketch. I tried to create something flexible and I am looking forward to seeing how you use this one.  Are the top panels going to become decoration or is that where your image and sentiment is going to go?  I LOVE seeing what you do with each sketch.  Have fun!
We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:
  1. Please use any crafting product you would like to use.
  2. Feel free to combine our sketch with up to THREE other challenges, except another sketch challenge.
  3. Please add a DIRECT link to your blog when adding your card to the linky below.  If linking to a public gallery, please use keyword FMS218.
  4. Please include our sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post.
  5. Have fun!
This challenge will end at 12:00p (noon) PST on Monday, January 11th. On Tuesday we will announce the winner of this week's sketch challenge who will known as the "Queen of Clean" and each Design Team Member will choose one "Princess".

Winners For Sketch 217!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Linda has chosen the Queen!


The Queen of Clean : Kelly Schirmer from Gingham Girl

 What a fabulous gallery to end 2015!  We had over 200 amazing entries and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting all of your sites for an up close look!  Picking one card was very difficult but I think you will agree that Kelly's card is a stunner!  Her striking design is beautifully detailed with a snowy background and a honeycombed panel.  The neutral tones let the penguin stand out center stage. I love the simple sentiment and sweet flourishes!  A frozen delight for sure!  Congrats, Kelly!




Please come back tomorrow as we kick off 2016 with a brand new sketch from Kim!
