Challenge #80 - Re-Cycle

Welcome to the new challenge here at The Male Room.

We have a very topical theme for the next fortnight - RE-CYCLE.

We're curious to know what you do with all your left over stash so that could become part of your project, but it could also be anything that has been previously used for crafting or even a use way outside of the crafting world. A few things that jump into my mind are labels from clothes, old receipts, bus or railway tickets, sweet wrappers, paper bags ........


We have Keti from Keti's Projects joining us as our Guest Designer for this challenge and she's used old book pages and kitchen foil for her super layered up card. For more details about how she created her project do go visit her blog - HERE - and leave her some love.


The Male Room's DT have also been fishing out those previously used items to create some amazing projects. You'll be so inspired when you hop over to their blogs for all the details.

We couldn't resist this Trekkie card. Simple yet so eye catching! 

The humour in this card really had us smiling. And yes some of us oldies here at The Male Room remember the test card.
 Such an amazing little scene on this tongue in the cheek birthday card. Made us smile!
Congratulations to you all.

Challenge #79 - Sport/Winter Olympics

Well, the Winter Olympics are well underway now, so what better time to use this as an excuse to craft something sport related. Of course, it doesn't have to be an Olympic sport and it doesn't have to be a card. We love seeing projects in all genres and styles and our only stipulation is that it needs to be suitable for a fella.



Our Guest Designer for this challenge is a previous winner Laurie from Stamping Up North. Check out her super cool card and go visit her blog - HERE - to be inspired by her creativity.



The Male Room DT have been getting all fired up by making sport related projects to encourage you to play along. And remember crafting is such a great hobby for keeping brains and fingers fit - well that's as close to playing sport as I'm prepared to get! Check out these gold medal-winning creations:

Vintage moška voščilnica
 Superb distressed edges and a bit of a 3D look with all those wonderful layers to this little atc card. We loved how the more you look the more you see.


The most amazing little tag - the addition of a photo makes it look like a mini scrapbook page. We loved it!


 
We couldn't resist this one with the larger than life Chaplin image. Those googly eyes brought a big smile to our faces!

Congratulations to you all.
