WWC235 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers


Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Marsha’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 stars.  Well done!

Marsha’s choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Arlene's lovely Autumn themed card design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

Marsha's Rock Star:  I love the wonderful Autumn card Arlene has created. The background is perfect for the silhouettes.  It's a great masculine card.

Congratulations Arlene!  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.

Kath's Rocker:  Robyn's card is a perfect masculine card! I love the lighthouse scene as well as the colors she used.

Dawn's Rocker:  Kathy has produced a great CAS card for her hubby's birthday. Love the monochromatic look and how special to decorate inside and outside and on the back and front of the envelope. So much love has gone into making this one.

Karen's Rocker:  Claire has created a fun aquatic themed card with playful dolphins and a lovely blue color scheme. This anniversary card commemorates their first date at a Sea Life Center...very special!

Michelle's Rocker:  Ishani has created a stunning card using a digi stamp. Her copic colouring is beautiful!

Tristan's Rocker:  Trina has created an super fun card with a stunning space sky background that suits her astronaut and her 4 year old nephew perfectly.

Helen's Rocker:  Mac has created an amazing work of art on her card, with the variety of techniques and mediums. It gives it wonderful texture and colour.

Heidi's Rocker:  What an amazing masculine card Lynn created! I love the colours and design. There is a wonderful Vintage feel to that paper and having that bat and mitt cross the folds really adds dimension.

Congratulations Robyn, Kathy, Claire, Ishani, Trina, Mac and Lynn.  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, August 28th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.

WWC234 - 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 Claire's cute kittens in a boot card design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

Dawn's Rock Star:  Claire has made the sweetest card. The colouring on her boot, flowers and kittens is superb. The stenciling in the corner draws the eye to the focal image. And that sentiment is adorable. All in all, a beautiful card.

Congratulations Claire!  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.

Michelle's Rocker:  Jenny has created a beautiful card using acrylic inks. I love the bright pink buds on the tree achieved with paint! Stunning card.

Marsha's Rocker:  I love this adorable new baby card Linda has created.  All the elements come together for this cute card.  Love that little elephant.

Tristan's Rocker:  I love the circle focus of Milla's card with the balance of the floral and leaf elements and the great colour scheme. A beautiful card.

Heidi's Rocker:  After reading about all the mis-steps Trina made while creating and then salvaging this card, I am amazed at how absolutely stunning the finished birthday card turned out to be. The red and white and all those shades in between really "pop" against the black base. I had to laugh in sympathy when even the sentiment had to be redone. This is a card determined to have its day in the sun.

Kath's Rocker:  Mac's colorful background was made from the clever usage of the paper toweling she used for water coloring. With the added die cuts and mica makes for a stunning card.

#12  Cathy R
Helen's Rocker:  Cathy's gorgeous card has such a feeling of movement on the gorgeous acrylic pour panel and butterfly, while still remaining CAS! It certainly is a case of 'Butterfly Camouflage'!

Karen's Rocker:  Karen has created a delightful card. I love her cabin scene that is on the inside and framed on the outside. Very nicely done.

Congratulations Jenny, Linda, Milla, Trina, Mac, Cathy and Karen!  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, August 21st, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.
