Tuesday has rolled around again and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Helen's Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.  But first, we'd like to thank all those who played along with us.  Beautiful entries that make our choices so much harder but we think you are all starts.  Well done!

Helen's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Pat's fabulous steampunk airship/balloon design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

Congratulations, Pat!  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as our Watercooler Rock Star.

Next up are the awesome creations that caught the eye of the other Watercooler Artists for our Watercooler Rockers.  They are shown in no particular order.

#2 Michelle B

Kath's Choice:  Michelle’s card is straight up masculine, from the white socks with sandals to the designer paper. The image is wonderfully colored. An all around fun card.

#6 Mimi

Gail's Choice:  The watercolour bugs are great as is the sentiment. Really like the colours and the texture stamped across the bugs.

#12 Hazel (Didos)

Crystal's Choice:  Her adorable little fisherman digi stamp was surrounded by the most beautifully colored frame! It was so realistic looking and impressive!

#23 Dawn

Marsha's Choice:  Loved the tool box that Dawn created.  It reminds me of all the handymen in my life.  I like the simplicity of the design and the colors she has chosen.

#1 Sherri Thacker

Tristan's Choice:  I love Sherri’s scene with the monochrome colour tones and dark trees. A great male birthday card.

#16 Char

Heidi's Choice:  Char has used such wonderful, vivid colours. Having that hexagonal “window” opening to the beach scene really adds to the theme and gives a reason for the wonderfully textured shell and starfish.

Congratulations Michelle, Mimi, Hazel, Dawn, Michelle and Char.  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you one of our Watercooler Rockers.

There's our lineup for this weeks' Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, September 26th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.

Sheri Lee

Hello, I’m Sheri....a head standing loving yogi that creates cards during my down time. My fave cards to make are either fancy folds or shaker boxes. I enjoy traveling, taste testing the yummiest artisan cheesecakes...searching for turtles and avoiding cilantro at all costs. My favourite colour is purple, I love eggs Benedict and my personal mantra....there is ALWAYS something to be GRATEFUL for everyday.
