Challenge #102 - Anything Goes, Optional Twist Beverages

A hello and goodbye today. 

Hello and welcome to the first challenge of 2019 and goodbye to Deborah who has made the difficult decision to step down from The Male Room's DT.

So sorry to see you go Deborah! 

Thanks for all your wonderful creativity and hard work over the past four years.

And a hello to our new facebook group that we'd love you all to join. Find it HERE or click on the facebook badge on the sidebar.

We're kicking off the New Year with an Anything Goes theme - as long of course as it's suitable for a male.  If you'd like to add another layer to the challenge then play along with our twist of Beverages - that's any liquid drink from water to coffee to beer to wine to..... wherever your imagination takes you.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Vita who regularly plays along with us on instagram.  Go check out her instagram feed for fabulous ideas to inspire you.

A beautiful baby boy card Vita. Love the gold greeting and the ombre patterned background.

Challenge #101 - The Colour Blue

Welcome to the last challenge of 2018 here at The Male Room. We also have exciting news to share!

I'm delighted to let you all know that Ana from stacksofcards is joining The Male Room DT. Here's a little introduction she has written to tell you about herself:

My name is Ana Anderson. I am originally from Croatia where I have started my crafting journey alongside my mother when I was very young. We did everything from knitting, crocheting, needlepoint to sculpting with clay and painting on canvas but... no paper crafting.

I have discovered paper crafting when I moved to the United States 19 years ago. My best and only friend at the time introduced me to scrapbooking and it has been an amazing journey that lead me to cardmaking :) 

I want to thank you for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of such amazing Design Team. I am beyond overjoyed and excited! 

~~~~~~~~

We are delighted to welcome you Ana and look forward to seeing your amazing masculine projects.

Our new challenge will run right through to 8th January and we've chosen a theme that we hope you'll find useful either for those last minute Christmas cards or to make a start on your 2019 stash of all occasion projects and cards.

We're welcoming a previous winner of one of our challenges to Guest Design with us for this challenge - Martina from umarti If you can find time do go and take a look round her blog, there's so much inspiration there.

Guest Designer - Martina

Don't you just love her sweet little guy surrounded by all his tools?

And check out all this incredible inspiration from The Male Room's DT - you're going to have heads bursting with ideas!
