HONOURABLE MENTIONS

(in order of submission)

#1 LeAnne

The license plate paper used as a background really caught our eye - it's just so perfect!

#21 Ilse Stouten

The bold use of black, white and mustard is such a contemporary colour scheme that contrasts so beautifully with the vintage car image.

#22 Kimberly Wiener

Love how this car stamp has been use to look like an instamatic photo print. And that oversized funky greeting - oh yes!

Congratulations to you all!

Before I go just a quick reminder about our current challenge

 #86 Gardening.  

What a super starting point! I'm thinking seed packets, long grass, a journal page about gardening jobs, a scrapbook page of the excitement of seeing something new growing, just chilling in the garden and not forgetting that very masculine hide out - the garden shed!

Can't wait to see how many different ideas you have!

You've got until midnight Tuesday 5th June to join in the fun (that's 7.00pm EDT).

Enjoy your crafting!

Challenge #86 - Gardening & DT Call

Hi all! We're excited to start a new challenge this week, but before I tell you more about that I've other news to share. We're having a DT call throughout this challenge and the following challenge starting 6th June.

Would you like join our talented DT? Well all you need to do is make a project - card, scrapbook page, art journal page, tag, 3D item, canvas, atc or any other paper related project you can think of, for either this challenge or the next challenge or even both. Then simply add DT after your name when you link it up below.

Want to know more about what's involved? Well you will need to have a blog and we ask that you have the time to create a DT project that is suitable for a male and matches the challenge theme once a fortnight, leave comments on two assigned columns from the gallery and join in with choosing our winners by casting votes. You'll find us a friendly, supportive and well organised bunch who like to create with the guys in mind.

Here's the theme for the new challenge that starts today:

I don't know about you but in my house it's me that does the most gardening! But I'm guessing lots of menfolk also get involved so this theme should be a breeze!

Guest Designer - Julie B

We're really lucky to have Julie B joining us as a Guest Designer for this challenge. Her blog is an absolute joy to look at, so please make sure to find some time to pop over and be very inspired!

Loving that quintessentially masculine hide out - the garden shed! And the wire embossed background is a perfect touch for this garden themed card.

And naturally our DT are displaying their green fingered creations to further inspire you to play along. It would be really lovely if you could visit their blogs and leave them a little love to brighten their day.

Challenge #84 - Anything Apart From A Card

Hey! And welcome to a new challenge here at The Male Room. 

As you know we accept all types of paper crafts for our challenges, but for the next fortnight, cards are out! Instead, we'd like to see any other type of paper craft creation you can think of.

And I'm joining in and playing along too. You've probably spotted that I usually only get involved in the admin side of things, so it's with huge delight that I'm Guest Designing for this challenge!

Guest Designer - Jane from purplejetlovescrafts

Anyone who knows me will know that a scrapbook page was the obvious choice for my project and I really hope you enjoy seeing it and will maybe come visit my blog and leave me a little love.

The Male Room DT have been hard at work creating fabulous and interesting projects to kick start your ideas. I'm thinking they would love it if you visited their blogs too and left them a lovely comment.
