Winners For Sketch 120!

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


The Queen of Clean: Amanda Burditt


So many wonderful entries last week!  I could have picked a million winners, but I finally narrowed it down to this lovely creation by Amanda.  The focal point of her card is just so beautiful.  I love all the ribbon and that she carried the stitching from it through to the white layer.  So many lovely details!  Congratulations, Amanda, on being our Queen of Clean this week! See you guys tomorrow!





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

Rita here this week with a new sketch for you all.  I recently added some banner dies to my crafty collection, so I thought it would be fun to create a sketch that would go along with them.  No worries if you don't have dies; they are fairly easy to cut! :)    I can't wait to see all the different shapes and designs you all come up with.  Just remember to keep it clean!

Winners For Sketch 119!

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


The Queen of Clean: Wanda Cullen



119 entries for our 119th Challenge, that means something doesn't it?!  hehe  
I am so proud that so many of you chose to play along.  I was so worried, but happy to find all these amazing entries.  You all sure know how to make it hard to choose just ONE to be the Queen or King.  And boy, I am telling...I had a very hard time.  But in the end I chose Wanda as my Queen.  I just love the layering, and the details on her card are so beautiful, like the tiny envelope, the glitter heart, the arrow...everything fits perfectly together!! Congrats Wanda on being the Queen!  And thank you all so much again for playing along!!





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

Hi everyone!  It's Cindy Lovell here with my first Sketch.  I was pretty nervous when i designed it,since this is not just my first Sketch for this Team,but also my first one for the public. The little voices in my head kept asking,will they like it...will someone play along and so on.  It took me a few starts until i really liked it.  I designed this sketch with the use of Papers in the back of my mind.  Of course you don't have to use patterns.  Feel free to use this sketch with anything you like.

I hope you decide to play along with us this week.I am already very excited and can't wait to see what you create! I love how the Team used this sketch!

Because we are seeing so many new players, we want to make a gentle reminder to please turn off your word verification.  We love commenting on your beautiful creations and word verification makes it hard on the team to do so.  Thanks so much and happy stamping!!

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.

Winners For Sketch 118!

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


The Queen of Clean: Stephanie Lanzalotto


I guess there was some pent-up demand for a Freshly Made Sketch this past week because the gallery was full to bursting with 144 entries!  There were so many beautiful cards it was really difficult to choose just one!  Thanks to everyone who participated!  I chose Stephanie's birthday card as my pick.  She layered together these great images and showed us that she's not afraid of color while doing it!  I love the fruit-punch colors and the fun horizontal layer.  Congratulations, Stephanie on being the Queen of Clean!





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

Hello everyone, Jen Mitchell here with a big hearty "welcome back" to Freshly Made Sketches!  The response to our extra long challenge over the holidays was truly extraordinary and the design team had a lot of fun seeing all the amazing creations you linked up.  I also have the pleasure of introducing the newest member of our design team, Karren Johnson.  She's a familiar face around the old link-up and we are thrilled that she'll be now wowing you with her cards from this side of the blog!  Without further ado it's time for our very first challenge of 2014!  The sketch is pretty clean and simple but I just know that you will all take it and run with it and give us some real eye candy in the gallery!

Winners for Sketch 117!

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

The Queen of Clean: Elisha Smith

I was totally wowed by not only the number of entries for this challenge (155 to be exact), but by how creative some of the entries were.  When I designed this sketch, I was a little worried that some would find it hard to be creative or original with their design, but I saw some really clever and amazing takes on this sketch in the gallery.  It took me a long time to pick one winner.  I felt like Elisha really captured the essence of this sketch.  Her card is clean and fresh, with a little pizzazz.  I love the embossing and the pretty silver ribbon.  Congratulations, Elisha on being the Queen of Clean!





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