What an amazing string technique to get all that movement! Just perfect for the aeroplane. We loved all the little clues to the film title too - you'll need to go visit if you want to join in and discover the answer.

#4 Scrappy Scatty Jan

Such superb colouring on this card and lots of fabulous little details too. Bet you've guessed the film Jan was inspired by, but there's a little more magic if you follow the link on her blog to a slide show.

#6 Stacks of Cards

Travel and the adventure films are the inspiration for this card. Don't you just love those stacks of suitcases? And the detail in the popped up coloured stack really caught our eye!

#24 Mavrieneideje

Oh my goodness what a stunning background! And with the addition of all those golden cogs - well we were just smitten. Go visit her blog to discover the film.

Congratulations to you all!

Challenge #89 - Fish/Fishing

Well have we got exciting news to share with you all today! Yes we're introducing our two new DT members and they've already started to play along.

We were totally blown away by the response to our DT call and would love to have had you all join us, but that just wouldn't work. So if you put DT next to your name and didn't make the final call, don't be disheartened. If you'd like to join us as a Guest Designer for a future challenge we'd love to have you. Just contact Jane and let her know - themaleroomcraftchallenge@gmail.com

We're delighted to welcome:

Lise Mariann

Hi. My name is Lise Mariann and I come from a tiny island in the north of Norway. I am currently living in Trondheim, in the middle of Norway, with my husband, two children and my two cats. I am an archaeologist working with children in the university museum in my city, but in the evenings after my children have gone to bed I am reading books, doing embroidery and of course scrapbooking and making cards. I have been scrapbooking for almost 14 years, but only recently started making cards as well. Heavily into the card making at the moment though. (My husband looks at the growing pile of cards and wonders if we really know this much people... Haha!) 

So excited to be here and I can't wait to play along with you. 

Wei

Hello, I am Wei from Taiwan which is an island state like Japan. I live with my hubby and our two girls. I was a teacher and taught Chemistry at high school. For accompanying my little girls, I quit my job ten years ago. For creating my girls' paper toy, I started paper crafting, but I jumped into card-making world in 2016.

I am so honored to be one of this awesome DT.

We know you're going to love their projects and be totally inspired by them.

And finally on to the new challenge! 

So do you like sitting still by a river bank all day waiting for the fish to bite? Or would you prefer to sit at home and craft a fishing project? Whichever it is we hope you'll enjoy creating something for a fella who loves fishing. it can be any type of paper project - card, atc, scrapbook page, ART journal, 3D, canvas, tag......... 

We're delighted to have two Guest Designers for this challenge - Andreja and Diane.

Guest Designer - Andreja

How adorable is Andreja's card, I never knew fishing could be so very cute!

Guest Designer - Diane

And then Diane's card - well who knew it was as much of a collecting stash hobby as crafting!

Both our Guest Designer cards have made me revise my opinion on fishing and see it in a completely new light.

So now it's the turn of TMR DT. An absolute feast of fishiness to inspire you and get your creative juices flowing. And maybe get those other juices flowing and make you feel hungry too!

Challenge #88 - Inspired by a Film Title

Hi and welcome to a super new challenge here at The Male Room.  

Before I tell you all about it - so exciting! But even more exciting is the number of you who put DT after your names in the last two challenge link ups. We're over the moon that so many of you would love to join our happy team and we're busy visiting your blogs and trying to make difficult decisions. We will reveal our choices soon, promise!

Now on to our new challenge - you're so going to love this!

For the next fortnight we'd like you to pretend you're at the cinema and be totally inspired by a film title for your masculine project.

Just wait till you see what our fabulous Guest Designer and Talented DT have come up with to help you on your way.

And added to the glamour of their projects you also get all the fun of the movies by trying to guess which film they've taken inspiration from! You'll need to click on their names and go visit their blogs to discover if you're correct.

We're delighted to have Carol from crafty-stamper joining us as a Guest Designer for this challenge. She's had so much fun with this theme that's she created two projects - one inspired by a vintage film and one by a more modern film.  Can you tell which is which?

Fabulous aren't they?! Do drop by her blog to discover the answer and take a few moments to scroll through her pages, you'll love what you see!

And now it's the turn of The Male Room's own DT to enthrall you with their projects. Have fun guessing and then pop by their blogs to see if you were correct.

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 !
