Challenge #35 - Theme & DT Call

Hello! Where is this year going? We're already halfway through May and, allegedly, it's spring. Not sure about that around here. Anyway, enough of that it's time to announce our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#35. Our theme for the next couple of weeks is:

TRANSPORT

I think this is perfect for guys. Don't forget your masculine style projects can be any type of paper craft - 3D models, scrapbook or Project Life layouts, ATCs or mixed media if you fancy.

Sadly, we are saying goodbye to Sue today - she's been a fabulous team member with such creative ideas, and she will be very much missed. Do drop by and wish her luck for all her future endeavours.

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:

Before we go - a quick reminder that we're in the middle of Design Team Call.

DESIGN TEAM CALL

The Male Room is a fortnightly (that's every two weeks) challenge. We focus on the men and boys in our lives. You can make anything - a card, scrapbook page, 3D project, banner, ATC, tag - so long as it's a paper craft and has a masculine style, that's fine. Our current DT tends toward clean and simple, so we're actively looking for crafters who like other styles, including mixed media and 3D work. If you are interested in joining the team you must have played along with last week's Shakespeare challenge and you need to play along this week too. Please add DT after your name if you want to be considered. If selected you will be required to make one project for each challenge, comment on entries and help pick the Winner and Honourable Mentions.

If you want to apply to join the team, please add DT after your name. Remember you can make any type of papercraft project. Have fun!

Now, details of our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#34. For the next couple of weeks we want to see your masculine style project based on the theme

SHAKESPEARE

This year sees the world celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare who died on 23 April 1616. How you interpret the theme Shakespeare is up to you, but do explain in your post. You could
be inspired by his sonnets, plays, his place of birth, or even quotes from his plays. Shakespeare also introduced many new words into the English language - you could play on that too!

DT Call and Challenge #06 - Theme: Under Water

Good morning and welcome to The Male Room.  In here you will find inspiration for cards for those most difficult of specimens - MEN and BOYS!  But - it doesn't have to be a card, in fact it can be anything - cards, scrapbooks layouts, 3D projects or tags - just as long as it has a masculine feel and style.

For the next couple of weeks we'd like you to create your masculine project with the theme of:

UNDER WATER!!!

Don't forget we are having a DT Call.  In order to be considered for the team you must have played along with our previous sketch challenge #05 and this theme challenge #06.  Please add DT after your name to be considered.

Here are some of the ideas that the DT came up with to get you started - as if you need any help!!!
