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.

#21  Claire

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.

#26  Jenny Martin

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.

#28  Linda (L-Bee's Crafts)

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.

#24  Milla

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.

#9  Trina P

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.

#11  Mac Mable

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'!

#13  Karen Ksenzakovic

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.
