We loved the way this card keeps on giving and when you open it up the inside is just as engaging as the front.

A super CAS card! Just check out the vibrancy of those rainbow enhanced buildings!

Challenge #92 - Wild & Free

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

Before I get on to the new challenge though I'd like to say an enormous thank you to everyone for responding so enthusiastically to our 5th Birthday Challenge that's just finished. We'll be taking some time now to review all the entries and the winner and top picks will be announced next Wednesday, 22nd August.

For the next fortnight we'd like you to create masculine projects themed around 'Wild and Free'. Remember it can be any sort of paper project, so let your imagination take flight and be wild and free!

And just take a peek at the card our Guest Designer Steph from Morticraft has created.

Such an amazingly cute and very beautiful new baby boy card - makes me want to go awwww! Thanks Steph for joining us for this challenge, we hope you'll get lots of visitors to check out your wonderful blog - HERE.

And of course The Male Room's DT have been very busy creating some Wild and Free delights to whet your appetite and inspire you to play along. It would be lovely if you found time to visit our blogs too and maybe leave a lovely comment.

Brilliant! An incredible idea executed masterfully and so much fun too. We loved it!

#11 Gingerninjacrafts

Can you see the pepsi can on this card? Well probably not as it has been re-cycled so expertly. Superb card!

#12  Mavricne

Those golden cogs look so right on the Christmas tree, can't think why it's never occurred to us to add them into our Christmas stash before!

#20 Ma-Mi

I spy a ring pull disguised as a buckle - how superbly clever! 

Congratulations to you all!
