Challenge #130 - Use Embossing

Oh my goodness I've just checked the ending date for today's new challenge and it seems we're quickly approaching the third month of this New Year! How did that happen?

Anyway for the next fortnight we'd like to see some embossing on your male related projects. this can be any sort of embossing - paste, heat & dry are three that spring to mind. Just remember that your project - card, scrapbook page, art journal, tag, 3D, mini album - needs to something that a man, boy, lad, guy would be pleased to receive.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Angie and she has created this delightfully cute pirate card. Love the background anchor embossing!

We really hope you'll find time to pop over to visit her blog - HERE - and tell her how awesome her card is!

And what have The Male Room DT been creating with embossing? Well you'll be blown away by their creativity once again!

Challenge #128 - It's Snowing

Hey!

And welcome to another fabulous challenge at The Male Room.

But before I get on to that I need to let you know the results of our DT Call.

We were so lucky to have some strong contenders and really enjoyed looking at each blog and the beautiful creations displayed there. So thank you enormously to everyone who was brave enough to put DT after their name, we really appreciate your interest.

But we only had one place and we're delighted to welcome Clarissa on to the team.

Kia ora crafty friends.

I am excited to be joining the talented ladies here at The Male Room Challenge Blog.

A little bit about me. I'm originally from the Philippines and I came here to NZ in 2006. I have been making handmade cards and gifts as a young girl but have only seriously started making cards 2 1/2 yrs ago. I love exploring different styles and techniques while supporting different craft companies and artists, and just recently have been more active in entering card challenges which brought me here.

Hope you find inspiration in what I create here, as I learn from others too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now on to the new challenge. Here's the challenge badge which we would like you to display on your blogs when you join in:

Well is it snowing in your part of the world? Maybe not, but snow is always a fun theme and we're really looking forward to seeing your masculine projects about snow.

As always we've a winner of a previous challenge joining us as our Guest Designer and this fortnight we welcome Pat.

Wow! Such speed and movement over the snow! Please pop over to Pat's blog - HERE - to tell her how impressed you are.
