WWC251 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers

Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Dawn's "All About Occasions" 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 stars.  Well done!

Dawn's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Karen's gorgeous floral card design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#19  Karen Finkle

Dawn's Rock Star:  Karen has produced a beautiful appreciation card. Her flowers are beautifully coloured. I love the texture of the embossed background and the die cut circle for the sentiment.

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

Next up are all the wonderful designs that caught the eyes of the other Watercooler Artists for our Watercooler Rockers.  They are shown in no particular order.

#22  Lisa Lynn

Tristan's Rocker:  Lisa Lynn has made a fab monochrome graduation card.  I love that pop of gold on the sentiment and that die is so cool.

#11  Darnell

Heidi's Rocker:  Darnell has created a lovely CAS card with a beautiful pseudo no-line watercolour image. I love the way she has coloured directly onto her Penny Black stamp, spritzed it, and then stamped it. It sounds easy but I'm not sure I would succeed in having mine look like a piece of art.

#13  Angie Cimbalo

Marsha's Rocker:  Angie has created a beautiful clean and simple design.  Love that strip of plaid and string of lights.  Simplicity at it's finest!

#5  Tracy

Karen's Rocker:  Tracy has created a fun seasonal card! I really love her beautifully put together scene....darling animals, lovely die cut hills and a wonderful sentiment.

#18  Earl Lea Riser

Helen's Rocker:  This is such a super cute Christmas card. The fun image of Charlie Brown with his Christmas tree is beautifully coloured and the DP additions finish it perfectly.

#38  Cat C

Kath's Rocker:  Cat's card is a fun Christmas card! The penguin is adorable!

Congratulations to Lisa, Darnell, Angie, Tracy, Charlie Brown Tree and Cat!  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as one of our Watercooler Rockers.

That's our lineup for this week's Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, April 10th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.

#12  Milla

Tristan's Rocker:  Milla has created a fab friend card with her sweet image and gorgeous colouring. I love the bold ‘hugs’ sentiment.

#5  Jan (MF Boots)

Heidi's Rocker:  Jan has had a great idea for a card. I love that the recipient can pull the tiny bottle of magical wishes off the card and use it to decorate the tree. How wonderful to get a bottle of Peace, Joy, Love or Smiles!

#11  Ma-Mi

Kath's Rocker:  Ma-Mi's card is lovely in White and Silver. The Poinsettias are beautiful! A Wonderful Christmas card.

#2  Ruth (Tip Top)

Karen's Rocker:  Lovely feminine creation! Gift boxes that just glow with their pearlescent paper, scrumptious baubles, swirly sentiment and ultra girly bows. Wonderful project.
