Winners - Challenge#35 - Theme

Good morning! I hope that everyone had a good holiday weekend - both sides of the pond! We had a fabulous selection of projects for our Transport theme. The theme inspired a lot of vintage style projects, but we also had good number of clean and simple. It was fabulous to see a scrapbook layout and tag too! It was very tough to pick our winners, but we did it and here they are:

Good morning! Thanks to everyone who submitted their names to join the Design Team, we are in the process of selecting our new members and will announce them on the next challenge.

Our challenge for the next couple of weeks is:
CRITTERS AND/OR BUGS
I think this could be fun for your masculine style projects - a reminder that we accept cards, ATCs, mixed media, scrapbook or Project Life layouts, or 3D models. Just remember masculine and the theme.  Here's some inspiration from the Design Team.

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!
