Week 837 - masculine

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Thank you for your entries into last week's 'furry friends/animals' challenge; the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner of the £6.00 voucher courtesy of Di's Digi Stamps and we will find out who Wendy has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lorraine from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘masculine’. Lorraine would like you to make something for a man or boy this week.  We know male creations are difficult, and they are not our favourite things to make, but we always need them and with Father's Day coming up in a month it will be a chance for you to get ahead!  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week. Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw. So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 1 image of their choice from their online store.  

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
