Challenge #113 - Cooking & Baking

Hello! And welcome to a new challenge here at The Male Room.

If you're in the UK or the USA you'll know there's Fathers Day coming up on Sunday 16th and hopefully the weather is beginning to warm up and allow for barbecues too. So with all that in mind we've chosen a cooking and baking theme for your masculine projects. But of course any other type of cooking or baking is fine!

We're welcoming a previous winner Christine as our Guest Designer for this challenge. She loved this theme so much that she got a bit carried away and created three cards to inspire you. And there seems to be a bit of a cake theme going on!

.... and some more cakes ...

... and the grand sparkly cake too!

Aren't they all fabulous? Do go see what she has to say about them on her blog - HERE.

Now I'm wondering will there be any more cake projects in the mix from The Male Room DT?

Let's take a look and see!

Challenge #112 - Computers or Gaming

Hey! And welcome to a new challenge here at The Male Room.

We're hoping you're all going to love this new theme and will enjoy creating masculine projects for the men in your life. Whatever their age we're sure they will have computers or games they like to play as part of their lives and a bit of a bonus for this theme your projects will probably be able to double up for the girls too!

We have the wonderful Hannelie joining us as our Guest Designer for this new challenge. She told me her Silhouette Cameo got a bit of a work out for her card and as you can see it's based on a computer's circuit board.

Do go visit her blog for all the details and leave her a lovely comment while you're there.

And of course the multi talented Male room DT have worked their usual magic too.

Challenge #111 - Anything Goes, optional twist Origami

Hey! And welcome to a new challenge here at The Male Room.

We have a bit of a difficult twist to this new challenge - well it would be for me, but then you are all so clever maybe it's easy peasy for you! So because of this we've chosen Anything Goes as the main theme because we don't want any of you amazing crafters to be put off - and let's face it creating a masculine project is a BIG challenge anyway!

Well looks like our Guest Designer - Jane Willis - had no trouble including the twist in her project! How awesome is her boat and I'm sure you need no prompts to work out the rhyme she has chosen for her card.

Do pop over to her incredible blog and check out all the other terrific inspiration there - HERE.

And of course the talented Male Room DT have created awesome inspiration for you too. They never disappoint!
