New DT Members & Challenge #37 - Theme

Morning! Thank you to everyone who applied to join the team, it's been tough, but we have selected some new members. Joining our team are Andreja, Buffy, Faith and Shawna - let's hear from them:

NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBERS



Hi :-)
I am Andreja and I come from a small and beautiful country Slovenia, Europe. I am married 14 years, but unfortunately we do not have children. We both have some hobbys. So, creating is for me a great consolation. I am a creative person since I remember. I make the most greeting cards and other paper creations, but I am doing the other things, too,  when I have time: I like mixed media tehnic, I make jewellery, I knitting and sewing. I am very happy to be part of this great "male" team and I look forward to creating with you :-))
Hugs, Andreja



Hello my name is Buffy, I’m married to my best friend Graham and we have 3 kids (two grown up & one teenager). I work fulltime as an Ultrasonic Analyst for a railway company (helping keep the tracks safe). But my true calling is crafting, any kind of crafting. Paper crafting is my favourite, especially card making. Although it has to be said when I quit smoking 4yrs ago I taught myself to crochet and I’ve made quite a few toys. (and then designed the gift bags to put them in).



My Name is Faith Anderson known as Faith A in blogland. I am a digital lover, which means most of what I do starts in Photoshop and becomes hybrid. I have been using Photoshop for years, but I still have so much to learn about it. I have been married for 50 years to a wonderful man who puts up with my time on the computer, we have a Son who has IT skills, I call upon sometimes. I am really excited to become part of the DT of the Male Room as being the only girl with 4 brothers and many other males in the family, I love making male cards. 



My name is Shawna Standish from TheGrandStampede. I am a forty year old mother of two, nicely nestled in Michigan, USA. I have been creating cards for about three years. It all started when I was faced with the possibility of becoming blind. It was not until then I started looking at color and objects with new vigor, soaking up everything, knowing I might not see in the future. Fortunately I am fine, and I live to see another day. 

My crafting however, lead into an unstoppable obsession. I wanted to share my art with others who had similar interests. I ended up finding wonderful people from all around the world who inspire me to be a better artist and who inspires so much of what I do.

Now it's time to tell you about our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#37. You can make any type of papercraft project from ATCs to 3D projects, but they MUST be masculine in style. Our theme for the next couple of weeks is

FATHER'S DAY



A day to celebrate the very special men in our lives. Here's some inspiration from the team:

New DT Members and Challenge #08 - Using Letters and/or Numbers

Good morning everyone.  We had a super response to our recent DT Call and it was hard to pick just two new members, but we did.  Joining our team today are Jane and Sue T - let's hear from them:




I think I've probably been crafting all my life, starting at primary school with a love of embroidery and knitting. Building on this my Nan taught me how to sew and I made dolls clothes, aprons and then my own clothes. I studied to be a primary school teacher with craft as my main subject - this included weaving, collage and dressmaking. Over the next few years I dabbled in many crafts including cross stitch, macrame, patchwork, crochet, - you name it I've probably given it a go!

Currently my main craft interests are scrapbooking and card making and I love nothing better than to disappear into my craft room for hours at a time. I think my style has really developed over the last two years since I discovered challenge blogs and started my blog so that I could enter them. Now I'm more or less firmly in the CAS camp, however I love to try new things and admire all different genres. With three sons and three grandsons you could say The Male Room is a pretty good fit for me and  I'm super excited to be joining the DT. I'm really looking forward to starting this new adventure and getting to know everyone.





Hi, I am Sue T.- yes that is what everyone calls me. I have been stamping since 1996. It truly became an obsession when a stamp store opened 5 minutes from my house. I love making cards. There isn’t a holiday that I don’t send them out. I have dabbled in just about every style over the years, but have found my niche with CAS cards. In the real world, I am a FT endoscopy nurse, working on my Master’s. I have a wonderful husband who is my best cheerleader and critic. My muse in my studio is my sweet kitty, Pinkie. 

One other thing - you've probably noticed that we've had a bit of a redesign here at The Male Room - we do hope you like the crisp new look.  Thanks to Kylie Purtell for doing all the hard work - she's done a super job.


Here at The Male Room we aim to provide inspiration and ideas when making projects for the men in our lives - both young and old, cute and grumpy - they are all special to us, but creating for guys can sometimes be difficult.  We provided challenges to help you create and any kind of paper craft is welcome, but it must have a masculine feel.  For the next couple of weeks we'd like your projects to feature:



Please use Letters and/or Numbers on your projects.  Here are some ideas from the Design Team to get you started:
