Challenge #51 - Anything Goes

Good morning!! We wish you all a very Happy 2017!

I must apologise to everyone - I set the closing date for the last challenge linky earlier than stated in the post! So sorry! It'll be okay for this challenge.

Many crafters find it difficult to create cards or projects for the men in our lives - both young and old. So, the aim of our challenges here at The Male Room are to help and inspire you with your masculine projects. We like to see all types of paper craft projects from cards, tags, 3D creations, scrapbook layout and even art journal pages and canvases. Our only condition is that your creations are masculine in style and follow the theme, colours, technique or stash of the particular challenge.

With all that in mind, it's time for our first challenge of the year and, after the very busy holiday period that has just passed, we've decided to keep it nice and simple. We have an ANYTHING GOES theme for you.

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:

Andreja

Jane

Faith A

Buffy

Rocky

Shawna

Deborah 

Made it! Sorry it's a bit late :)

Submission deadline is midnight (GMT) Tuesday 17th January (7.00pm EST). Let your imagination go wild and have fun!

Now, before I go, here's a quick reminder about our current challenge. We are mid-way through our SCIENCE themed challenge. You can make any type of paper craft project with a science theme. You can base it on one of the sciences, or pick a scientist or discovery. However, if your reason isn't obvious, give us a clue in your post.  Good luck!
