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!!!

DT Call and Challenge #05 - Sketch

Good morning all!  It's March already - spring should be here soon, although there's not much sign of it here in Michigan.  There's still lots of snow on the ground along with arctic like temperatures!  Never mind, I've some news that I hope will make you want to stay in your nice warm craft room and play!  You may have noticed that we have lost a few team members recently.  Sadly, Jacqueline of Deezinesart, who started this challenge in July 2013 has also had to step down.  We miss you ladies.  

So we need to get some new members and we're having

DESIGN TEAM CALL

The Male Room is a fortnightly (that's every two weeks) challenge focusing on creating something wonderful and crafty for the men and boys in our lives.  You can make anything - a card, scrapbook page, 3D project, ATC, tag - so long as it's a paper craft and has is a masculine styled project that's fine.  If you are interested in joining the team you must play along with our next two challenges - this week's sketch and challenge #06.  Please add DT after your name if you would like to be considered.  If selected you will be required to make one project for each challenge, comment on entries and help pick the top three.

Now onto the first challenge of March - we've got a sketch for you to play with.  Jacqueline designed this one - have fun with it.  Just remember - it MUST have a masculine feel!



The team have some fabulous cards using the sketch.  Check them out below and don't forget to visit and leave a comment - we love to hear from you!
