Challenge #27 - Theme

Hello!  Our first challenge of the year attracted our highest ever number of submissions - we were so pleased to see them all.  Hopefully, you can keep the trend going with our second challenge of the year.  This time at The Male Room - TMR#27 we'd like to see your projects for the younger men in our lives.  We want you to create your masculine style project for BABIES AND LITTLE BOYS.

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team.  Remember, you can make any kind of papercraft project.

You've got plenty of time to play along - submission deadline is midnight (GMT) Tuesday 2nd February (7.00pm EDT).

Before we go - please can we ask all those playing along to TURN OFF word verification in Blogger. We like to leave comments for everyone, but it takes so much longer when we have to go through the verification process.  If you need any help with this - please let me know (Deborah).

Challenge #25 - Theme

Hello and welcome to The Male Room.  It's time for our last challenge of the year, and it will be no surprise that we've gone for a theme of CHRISTMAS OR SEASONAL GREETINGS.  You can, of course, create a masculine style project based on any of the holidays that take place at this time of year, such as Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or Yule.

Our Guest Designer for December is Linda of Creepin Along, and she has made a wonderfully masculine card.  Chevron paper, fabulous stag head and a gorgeous snowflake embellishment - just perfect!  Do drop by and leave a comment or two!

Here's some seasonal inspiration from the Design Team:
