WWC248 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers


Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Kath'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!

Kath's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Heather's moose trio card design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

Congratulations to Heather!  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.

Marsha's Rocker:  Lisa has created a very cute card that has both color and dimension. I like the way she used the patterned papers together. Her coloring of the little boy makes him jump right out at you. Great card!
Dawn's Rocker:  The tall card suits the sweet scene that Trina has created. She has done awesome masking and colouring to make a super cute card.

Tristan's Rocker:  Claire has created a super fun Christmas card with her beautifully coloured bear surfing her sentiment. Such a clever idea.

Karen's Rocker:  Isabelle created a stunning classic card. Her beautiful embossing is so elegant and makes for a very special card.

Heidi's Rocker:  Arlene has created a striking card with that camera and the beautifully coloured fox images. The sentiment is close to my heart and makes this card even more special. I'm all for "shooting without a gun".

Helen's Rocker:  Cornelia has created a fun card with a special sentiment. Her clever masking and great pencil colouring really brings her card to life! 
Congratulations to Lisa, Trina, Claire, Isabelle, Arlene and Cornelia!  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, November 27th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.

While this week's link-ups are confusing as we have provided link service from both InLinkz and Linky Tools, please note that both will be honoured and eligible for voting and winning this week.  We will be treating them as if they are all linked together in one big, happy family.  The reason for this confusion lies in Linky Tools having disappeared several times during this challenge.  In order to keep things moving, we chose to use both services.
You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

WWC247 - 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 "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!

Marsha's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Trina's adorable Christmas mice card design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

Marsha's Rock Star:  Trina has created a fantastic Christmas card. Those mice are adorable. Her coloring is fabulous. Love it!

Congratulations to Trina!  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.

Tristan's Rocker:  Sue has created a magical card with her beautifully coloured foxes watching the Christmas Star in that fabulous inky night sky.

Heidi's Rocker:  What a lovely card Arlene created for her friends' 50th Anniversary. The simplicity makes the stamped couple even more striking. I absolutely love the sentiment--so true, and so special given the length of their union.

Dawn's Rocker:  Love the bold graphic look to Angie’s Christmas card. The cutting of the plaid coaster behind the bold sentiment is an innovative way to use the die.

Karen's Rocker:  Kylie has created the most adorable Christmas card....her bear, pig, dog and bunny have so much personality! And her sentiment, Merry Christmas from all of us, is just perfect.

Helen's Rocker:  Maria has created a beautifully soft, delicate looking card with the pretty background, torn vellum and simple die cut!

Kath's Rocker:  Cornelia's poinsettia card is a lovely vibrant Christmas card! The Brushos Watercolor wash is perfect for this card.

Congratulations to Sue, Arlene, Angie, Kylie, Maria and Cornelia!  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, November 20th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.
