Challenge #75 - Christmas/Winter Wishes/December Celebrations

Well I don't suppose there will be many of you who are surprised by our theme for the new challenge starting today! And I think we've just about got every type of December celebration covered too. And in the spirit of the season we're giving you an extra week to get your projects linked up - we know this is a busy time of year.

So all you need to do is decide whether it's to be a card, scrapbook page, 3D creation, ART journal page, ATC, canvas, or any other type of project that uses paper. Oh and of course remember it has to be suitable for a male - big or tiny, old or young as long as it's a fella.

We have a previous winner joining us as a Guest Designer for this challenge - the wonderful and very taleneted Ann Chuang. She has some fabulous Christmas projects on her blog - do go take a look - as well as this amazing card she created for The Male Room.

Guest Designer - Ann Chuang

All The Male Room DT have well and truly embraced the December theme and have created these superb projects to get you in the mood for crafting. More details about how they were achieved can be found on their blogs and it would be lovely if you left them a little December love too.

 How amazing is that warm yellow sky and how beautifully distinct the silhouettes look against it.

#13 Jane Willis

 

This silhouette scene was so atmospheric you could almost imagine yourself sitting on the bank watching it unfold. 

#19 Marianne

 

The vivid background colours really caught our eye and that cat - you can see him shivering with all that detailed fur sticking out.

Congratulations to you all.
