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!


Hello, everyone!  It's Amy here, and I have the privilege of hosting the last sketch of 2013.  Yes, that's right -- 2014 is fast approaching.  With Christmas just one short week away, and everyone scrambling around to get all of their last minute details finished, this will be our last sketch for a little while.  We'll return on January 8th with another sketch to get you going in the new year.  Since everyone is so busy during this time of the year, I designed a very clean sketch that will allow you to use up some of your paper scraps.  I hope you can take a little break from all of the hustle and bustle and spend a little time creating this week.  We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We would like to take a little time to thank our amazing team member Linda Suarez for her outstanding contributions to Freshly Made Sketches.  This will be Linda's last week with us.  While we will miss having her here, we know we will continue to be inspired by all she creates.  Please take a little time to stop by and bid her a farewell from the team.  Linda, thank you for all you have done to inspire us and keep us laughing as a team!  You will certainly be missed!
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 uploading to a public gallery, please use keyword FMS117.

Winners For Sketch 116!

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

The Queen of Clean: Korinne of Take this Idea and Stamp It!


Thanks so much for joining in my sketch. There were so many gorgeous cards in the gallery this week!  My eye was drawn back to Korinne’s elegant Christmas card.  I love all that white space and when you team it with gold washi tape and a pretty embossed bauble – it really does make for a classy Christmas card.  Congratulations, Korinne on being the Queen of Clean!




Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Amy!

Hey Everyone - it's Narelle here! Is it just me or has Christmas snuck up on us really quickly?  With only a couple of weeks to go I need to get moving on finishing off my Christmas shopping! I probably had Christmas in mind when I designed this sketch but after looking at the many Christmas cards I had, I decided the sketch would work well with just about anything - as shown by the lovely inspiration by The Clean Team below. Can't wait to see what you create!

Winners For Sketch 115!

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


The Queen of Clean: Kelly Schirmer of Gingham Girl


The gallery simply amazed me this week!  Each card made me say wow and I'm so thrilled you all enjoyed my sketch.  I kept coming back to Kelly's snowflakes time and time again.  The colors and the prints are so pretty together.  Maybe I'm just in a winter state of mind with the snow and ice that remains in my local forecast but I think these flakes are simply gorgeous!  Congratulations, Kelly, you are the Queen of Clean!





Come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Narelle!

We are so excited to visit your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch!




It is officially that busy time of year!  The hustle, the bustle, the Christmas cards that still need to be made…  I thought I'd give a pretty basic sketch this week.  One that can be used to make cards that are as easy or complicated as you want.  I can't wait to see the amazing creations in the gallery!

I also have a fun announcement to make.  The amazing Allisa Chilton is taking a short break from the team.  I am so excited to tell you that we have Cindy Lovell joining us as a guest designer for the next 4 months.  We love her creations and you will too.  Make sure you hop over to welcome her!

Winners For Sketch 114

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


The Queen of Clean: Tracey McNeely of In My Creative Opinion


Wow!  What a great gallery this week!  I just loved seeing all the wonderful creations using my sketch!  I chose Tracey McNeely as the Queen of Clean this week!  I love the latest trend in using gray as a card base and I think Tracey's card is the perfect example of how beautifully it can be used.  Very clean and simple and fabulous!  Congratulations, Tracey!
