How majestic and masculine is that elk! And we loved the combo of plaid and chevron papers too.

An actual jumper - how clever! And so smart with the addition of a bow tie. We loved the red jumper patterned background too.

Aww! This one really pulled on our cute strings. Doesn't that dachshund look amazing in his Christmas jumper! Love the embossed knitted background too.

Congratulations everyone!

Challenge #126 - A Box or Bag & A Goodbye, A Hello and a DT Call

Before I get on to today's new challenge I've a goodbye to say to two of our DT and a hello to a new member of the team.

We are very sad to see Monika and Wei step down from the team and wish them every success in their future crafting and other life.

The flip side to this is of course the addition of brand new DT members.

We're thrilled to be welcoming Granne to the team. I'm sure you've all spotted her amazing projects in the challenge galleries, but here's a little introduction so you can get to know her a bit more.

I'm a Finnish mother of 2 teenage girls. I’ve been stamping since 2011, I got started when my neighbour introduced me to the world of stamping and paper crafting in real life and in blog land; that’s how my blog also got it’s name: Granne (=neighbour in Swedish).
Usually I make cards, but I do love making ATC’s too, and and and ... what ever seems to be fun and inspires me. Sometimes things work out nicely sometimes not, but I have fun creating.

Granne is kickstarting her time as a DT member by joining in with the new challenge which is all about creating a box or bag.  

Here's Granne amazing altered cigar box:

But that still leaves us one short, so would like to be that new DT member?

Take a look at our requirements at the bottom of this post and then if you'd like to give it a shot simply enter this challenge and put DT after your name when you link up the photo of your masculine project.

We're delighted to introduce you to our very talented and creative Guest Designer Andreja.

Aren't those fungi awesome? And I love the addition of the twine - a superb way to keep everything tied up and still masculine.

And of course you'll be inspired by the work of the wonderful Male Room Design team too. Just look at what they have created - so clever!
