Challenge #119 - Autumn

Hi!

Are the days getting cooler in your part of the world? Are you ready for the beauty of Autumn? Well with apologies to our southern hemisphere players Autumn is the theme for our new challenge.

And if it should be Spring in your part of the world why not embrace the idea of Autumn in September - a bit like Christmas in July!

We've the very talented Joy D'souza joining us as our Guest designer for this challenge. Joy says Autumn is her favourite season and I can see that this is reflected in her amazing card.

That's a wow then! Do go visit her blog to find out all the details - HERE.

And The Male Room DT have fully embraced this theme and created a delightful array of autumnal coloured masculine projects to inspire you.

We're delighted to have Lisa A guesting with us for this challenge. She was one of the picks from our instagram call for Guest Designers and she has created the most wonderful beach card to inspire you.

And isn't her photograph incredible too? Love that it's on the beach!!!

Do pop over to Lisa's blog - HERE - and let her know how much you love her card.

Of course The Male Room's Design Team have worked their usual magic and created some awesome projects to get you in the holiday mood.
