Theme: Song Title (Challenge #14) - Winners

Good morning all!  Your masculine projects based on a Song Title were fantastic - I think we all spent some time listening to songs that we'd not heard for a while, or even before.  Oh yes, there were one or two ear worms too!  Here are the winners:

WINNER


Song Title: Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers
Great CAS card.  The choice of colour, the image and sentiment work perfectly together.
We all loved this one!  I'm humming that tune!

HONOURABLE MENTIONS
(in order of submission)



Song Title: While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles
Great interpretation of the song.
Love the guitar, the grungy look and the colours.



Song Title: Wild Thing - The Troggs
Love this take on the song title!  And I'm humming this one now!
The watercolour background, the colours and touch of bling - fab!
Great work.



Song Title: Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson (featuring Bruno Mars)
Really dramatic card.
Love the urban skyline - fab colours.

Congratulations ladies - I was humming each song in turn as I typed up this post (and checked out videos too!).  Please pick up your badges from the sidebar and display them on your blogs.

There's still plenty of time to join in with our current challenge where the theme is to use SPOTS AND STRIPES on your masculine project.

Challenge #15 - Theme - Spots and Stripes

Good morning!  This summer is simply flying by, or maybe it's just because I've been travelling so much lately that time seems to be going so fast.  We're almost at the end of July and it's time for our new challenge here at The Male Room.  For the next couple of weeks we want your masculine style projects to include SPOTS AND STRIPES.  Don't forget you can make any type of papercraft project - but it must be for the men in our lives - both young and old.  Have fun.


Our Guest Designer this month is Monika of Creative with Monika and here's her card for the challenge:



Monika's had lots of fun with the challenge - love those cute little onesies!!  We'd like to thank Monika for joining us this month and being such a great GDT!  Now for more inspiration from the
Design Team:

Good morning (well, it is here in Northville, USA) - sorry this post is so late, I've been trying to make sure that winners posts go up a week after the challenge ends, but I didn't quite manage it for this one. Will do better next time!

We had so many fabulous submissions for our Up in the Air (no birds) theme - all so very creative, it was very hard to pick our winners, but here they are:

Challenge #14 - Theme - Song Title

Hi!  Good morning all!  It's time for our new challenge at The Male Room.  For the next couple of weeks we have a theme challenge - your masculine style project must be based on a SONG TITLE.  Be as creative as you like, but please tell us what about the song title inspired your project.  You can make a card, ATC, scrapbook layout, 3D project, but it must be made for those every special folk in our lives - our men, young and old.


Our Guest Designer this month is Monika of Creative with Monika - I'm sure many of you are familiar with her work from her own blog and from various challenges.  Check out her song themed card:



And here's more inspiration from the rest of the team.  Do drop by our blogs to find out the stories behind our cards and to leave some comments!  We all like a comment or three!!
