Theme: Vacation/On the Beach (Challenge 16) - Winners

We had over 40 submissions to our Vacation/On the Beach theme challenge with a variety of styles and even a scrapbook layout.  It was great to see so many superb entries, and it made it quite tough for us to pick our winners, but we've done it.

Challenge #16 - Theme - Vacation/On the Beach

Good Morning!  We're getting well into summer now and I noticed last night on the weather that the sunset times are creeping in, but we've still got time to celebrate this wonderful season.  Our new challenge here at The Male Room is based on the theme VACATION OR ON THE BEACH.  You can make any kind of papercraft project - ATC, cards, scrapbook, mixed media, 3D - but it must be for the men in our lives and be based on our theme.  Go wild and have fun!!

Our Guest Designer this month is Sue of Cards by Q and here's Sue's take on the theme:
