Challenge #124 - Hobbies

Hey everyone!

It's time for a new challenge here at The Male Room and we're really hoping you're going to like it more than our last challenge! We know you're all heavily into Christmas creating mode, but we'd like you to take a break and think about the hobbies that the men in your life enjoy and make a card, scrapbook layout, art journal page, ATC, canvas or 3D project to celebrate it.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Lynn and she's gone for my other half's favourite sport golf. and just look at that background paper - inspired choice don't you think?

Had to smile at that sentiment quote too! Please pop over to Lynn's blog and tell her what a crafting star she is. Find it HERE.


And The Male Room's DT are all stars too and have put away the Christmas supplies for a bit to inspire you to join in and play along with us. Round of applause please........

Here is our winner:

#18 Vicky

How amazing is this card! We loved the contemporary vibes and striking use of stripes, dots and stars. And just look at all that glorious empty white space!

Congratulations Vicky!

#12 Fabiola

Such a detailed little scene but still CAS because of all the empty white space. We couldn't resist this fantastic Halloween card.

#23 Conil

That sentiment melted our hearts and the colour choices and shading on the feathers are just perfect for a male and totally awesome.

#49 Guy Greetings (Heather)

Well what could be more masculine than that line up of shoes! Such a beautiful sentiment too, we loved it.

Congratulations everyone!

Please pick up a winners badge from the sidebar to display on your blogs.

And before I go here's a little reminder about our current challenge #122 Halloween.

We're loving all the spooktacular projects so far and looking forward to seeing even more scariness popping up in our gallery this coming week!

Challenge #122 - Halloween

Hello and welcome!

Oh we have the most fun theme for our new challenge - yes we've caved in and gone with the flow and would like to see your masculine Halloween projects. Easy then!

We have Tina joining us as our Guest Designer and her card is absolutely perfect and not at all scary! Who knew Halloween could be so cute?

Swooning over all that background ink blending and smiling at the humour of the greeting.

EEK! Bet you can't wait to see how The Male Room DT have spooked themselves. Promise they're not too terrifying, but you may need to hide behind the sofa if you don't like spiders!

A little reminder of our current challenge

Don't forget CAS means Clean and Simple!

Challenge #121 - Stay CAS

Hello and welcome!

Before I get on to telling you all about the fantastic new challenge here at The Male Room could I please ask you to kindly display our challenge badge as well as linking back to us on your blogs or instagram when you link up your projects. We've now updated the How To Play tab to include this request. Thank you so much!

So on to that new challenge This time we're sort of going in the opposite direction of our last challenge and we'd like you to stay CAS. So forget those embellishments and layers and added extra bits we usually like to see on your masculine projects.

CAS means clean and simple. So we're looking for clean crisp unfussy masculine projects that would be simple to reproduce. The thinking and planning of a CAS project can often take more time than the making.

Are you up for the challenge? Of course you are!

We're welcoming Sheryl as our Guest Designer for this challenge and she has created a fantastic masculine CAS card to inspire you.

Sheryl has used a simple colour scheme for her card - a great way into the CAS style if this is your first time at trying it.

And check out The Male Room DT projects for more fabulous examples to help you on your way.
