Challenge #87 - Little Boys & DT Call

Hiya all! And welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Male Room. 

This fortnight we've got those little boys in mind and would like you to create a project that is either about the little fellas or would appeal to the little fellas.

 Quite a lot of scope for your creativity within this theme. So will it be something for or about a baby boy? something for or about a toddler? something for or about a  pre-schooler? something for or about a schoolboy? 

As long as it includes a little boy or something a little boy would enjoy then that's fine by us!

Oh and don't forget we've got a Design Team Call going on until the end of this new challenge.

Would you like join our talented DT? Well, all you need to do is make a project - card, scrapbook page, art journal page, tag, 3D item, canvas, atc or any other paper related project you can think of and then simply add DT after your name when you link it up below.

Want to know more about what's involved? Well, you will need to have a blog and we ask that you have the time to create a DT project that is suitable for a male and matches the challenge theme once a fortnight, leave comments on two assigned columns from the gallery and join in with choosing our winners by casting votes. You'll find us a friendly, supportive and well-organised bunch who like to create with the guys in mind.

Guest Designer - Ma-Mi

We have the wonderful Maja from Rilcek in Kljuncek joining us as our Guest Designer for this challenge. She has a really fabulous blog with a mixture of CAS cards, beautiful diary pages and an amazing use of colour and different techniques. So inspiring!

That crocodile reminds me of the Roald Dahl story, The Enormous Crocodile, a firm favourite with my boys when they were little.

And just wait till you see all the incredible projects from our DT !

Before I go just a quick reminder about our current challenge

 #86 Gardening.  

What a super starting point! I'm thinking seed packets, long grass, a journal page about gardening jobs, a scrapbook page of the excitement of seeing something new growing, just chilling in the garden and not forgetting that very masculine hide out - the garden shed!

Can't wait to see how many different ideas you have!

You've got until midnight Tuesday 5th June to join in the fun (that's 7.00pm EDT).

Enjoy your crafting!

Here's the theme for the new challenge that starts today:

I don't know about you but in my house it's me that does the most gardening! But I'm guessing lots of menfolk also get involved so this theme should be a breeze!

Guest Designer - Julie B

We're really lucky to have Julie B joining us as a Guest Designer for this challenge. Her blog is an absolute joy to look at, so please make sure to find some time to pop over and be very inspired!

Loving that quintessentially masculine hide out - the garden shed! And the wire embossed background is a perfect touch for this garden themed card.
