Morning all! It's almost the middle of April - this year is really flying by - and it's a Wednesday, so that means it's time for our new challenge at The Male Room (TMR#33). For the next couple of weeks we want you to use the TRIPLE STAMPING technique on your masculine style projects. If you're not sure what Triple Stamping is, then check out the videos at the end of this post.

There was a great selection from 3D to cards, from CAS to shabby. It did make it very hard to pick our winners, but we managed. The winners this time are:

Super CAS card.  The image is such fun and perfect for a guy's Easter card.

The bunny marching band is such a fun idea and we like the paper pieced jackets!

Challenge#32 - Theme

Hi! Can you believe it's almost the end of March? Me neither!! It is, however, time for our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#32 and our theme for the next couple of weeks is MAGIC/FANTASY.

I think this theme is perfect for masculine projects - there are so many areas for inspiration. You can have a traditional wizard or dragon, or you could use some computer games as inspiration. There are, of course, book series as inspiration - Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Shanara, etc. Make any type of paper craft project that has a masculine style and fits with our theme. Don't forget to tell us where you got your inspiration.  Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:

You've got plenty of time to join in the fun, deadline for submission is midnight (BST) Tuesday 12th April (7.00pm EDT in the US).  Have fun!
