Hello crafty friends! Stef here to welcome you to a new challenge with the Paper Players! But first, a big thank you to everyone who played along with Joanne's Tic-Tac-Toe challenge! So many fabulous cards filled the gallery, and we loved visiting your posts to see what inspired your creations! And congratulations to the winners!

Now on to this week's challenge. It's the first of the month, which means it's time for a theme and I chose one that will work well for Father's Day, birthdays for the boys and men in your life or just a masculine take for any occasion. I look forward to seeing what you create this week!

Now let's go see what the design team was inspired to create!
