Challenge #25 - Theme

Hello and welcome to The Male Room.  It's time for our last challenge of the year, and it will be no surprise that we've gone for a theme of CHRISTMAS OR SEASONAL GREETINGS.  You can, of course, create a masculine style project based on any of the holidays that take place at this time of year, such as Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or Yule.



Our Guest Designer for December is Linda of Creepin Along, and she has made a wonderfully masculine card.  Chevron paper, fabulous stag head and a gorgeous snowflake embellishment - just perfect!  Do drop by and leave a comment or two!


Here's some seasonal inspiration from the Design Team:







This challenge will run until midnight Tuesday 29th December (7.00pm EDT).  The challenge winners will be announced when we come back in the New Year.  The first challenge of 2016 is on Wednesday 6th January.

The Design Team would like to take this opportunity to wish you all,
Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays and Happy Christmas!

Winners - Challenge #23 - Theme

Hello!  Sorry this post is much later than planned!  I completely forgot to write it up. There were some wonderful submissions for our Remembrance/Sympathy theme, but we can only pick a few.  So here are the winners:

WINNER


This is such a serene card. 
Love the rich sky and the ship through the reeds.
And that verse is just lovely.  Great card.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS
(in order of submission)



Perfectly CAS and so elegant.
We really like the deeply embossed reeds and the simple sentiment.



Another beautifully CAS card.
The poppies look wonderful against the bricks! Just fab!



We really like the soft colours on the watercolour background.
Lovely image and simple greeting.  Super work!



We really like the rich colours in the sponged background and the soft glow in the sun.
Love the reeds in the foreground.  Super simple sentiment.

Thanks you ladies - your cards are all just fabulous.  Don't forget to pick up your badges from the sidebar and display them on your blogs.

And now it's time to remind you about our current challenge.  This one is fun, the theme is Thanks/Thanksgiving.  Obviously Thanksgiving in the US was last week, but we can never have too many cards to thank all those around us - just make sure your project has a masculine feel.


Deadline for submission is Tuesday 8th December, midnight (GMT) and for those of us in North America that's 7.00pm EDT.  Have fun!
