WWC99 - Marsha's Clean & Simple (CAS) Make It With Hearts Challenge

This week Marsha Reed is hosting a Clean And Simple (CAS) challenge for you.  There's only one catch.  You need to include a heart somewhere in your project.  Wedding, anniversary, birthday or Valentine's Day, hearts are the order of the day.

The rules are simple for our Clean And Simple challenge.  Show lots of open space, use minimal layers and use minimal embellishments.  The Watercooler Artists have given you many great examples of what our Clean And Simple challenge looks like.

Due to the holidays, this is our last challenge for 2016.  It will run for two weeks so, you have until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, January 2, 2017 to link up your project.

Ready to create and link-up?  Need a bit more inspiration?  Just check out the terrific ways in which the Watercooler Artists were inspired this week.

WWC98 - The Winner

It's time to announce the winner of Kath's Color Challenge.  Kath's pick was Char Leasor's gold reindeer card.  The textures she used throughout her card and the sparkle on the reindeer really sets it off.  Beautifully done, Char.     

Char Leasor

Char, we hope you'll proudly display your winner's badge on your blog.

Our Honorable Mentions were chosen by Kath and the remaining Watercooler Artists.  Congratulations to Kathe Deck and Julie Gearinger.  Your cards were beautifully created using the colors from the challenge.

WWC98 - Kath's Colour Challenge

Woo Hoo!  We have a colour challenge and this one is hosted by Kath Ricks.  The colours are wonderfully festive as you'll see from the gorgeous cards created by our Watercooler Artists.  Are you up for a challenge using Silver, Gold, Early Espresso and White?

Aren't those colours gorgeous together?  We have some great samples created by the Watercooler Artists to get your creative juices flowing. As usual, if you click on the name under each card, you can visit the blog post to see details on how the card was created.   We begin with Kath's elegant use of the popular Pretty Pines thinlets set and Tin of Cards stamp set.

WWC97 - The Winner

Drumroll please!  It's time to announce the winner of Penny's Sketch Challenge.  Penny chose Heather Hopson's wonderful "Santa Chickadee" card as her winner.  What a great choice, since that card was beautifully finished both on the front and inside.

Heather Hopson

Heather, we hope you'll display your winner's badge, shown below, proudly on your blog.

Since there were only three link-ups, we've decided to leave it with the one winner.  A huge "thank-you", however, to both Donna Scholz and Steffi Hanuschlk for their wonderful projects.  Donna, those tags were such a great idea and Steffi, your little owl card was great.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow, December 14th, for the new Watercooler Wednesday challenge and the wonderful creations by the Watercooler Artists.

WWC97 - Penny's Sketch Challenge

Woo Hoo!  We have a sketch challenge this week!  Penny Hanuszak has chosen a fun sketch and invites you all to create a card and link up.  Remember, sketch challenges have a lot of options as long as it is clear that the sketch was used.  Turn it on its side.  Flip it upside down.  It's your choice.

Ready to create and link-up?  Need a bit more inspiration?  Just check out the terrific ways in which the sketch inspired the Watercooler Artists this week.  As usual, if you click on the name under each card, you can visit the blog post to see details on how the card was created.  We begin with Penny's wonderfully masculine card using the One Wild Ride stamp set.
