The sky is stunning - a real "northern lights" display. Fabulous card.

A tranquil riverscape, so beautifully coloured.
This is a work of art!



A nice clean and crisp evening cityscape with lights in the buildings and stars in the sky.
Great work.



Beautifully embossed seascape and embossed too - great guy card.
Worth all the time it too to make!

CHRISTMAS/DECEMBER 
CELEBRATIONS/WINTER WISHES 

that's a really broad range for your projects.


Here are inspiration projects from the Design Team:






Deadline for submission is midnight (GMT) on Saturday 31st December (7.00pm EST). Have fun creating!

Do enjoy the various festivities this month and we'll be back with a new challenge on Wednesday 4th January 2017! Oh, it feels strange typing 2017!!!!

So sorry about the confusion in closing date for the linky. I am in the UK and have spotty Internet and only just seen the comments. If you want to email me (Deborah) on dfrings@runbox.com please do so. I will be back in the States on 2nd January and will add them then. Happy New Year! :)

Hello and Good Morning! I can't quite believe that it's already November - where is this year going? However it does mean that it's time for our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#48. We're back with a theme for you

This should give you lots of scope - there's the individual science areas of chemistry, physics, biology, famous scientists, discoveries - you decide how to interpret the theme. If it's not obvious - do let us know how you interpreted it.


As always we have some inspiration for you from the Design Team:
