WWC331 - Marsha's Special 3-Week "Anything Goes" Challenge

Well we're at the end of the year and that means this is the last challenge of 2021.   It's been a year of ups and downs all around the world.  For our challenge, we are currently working with two of our talented Watercooler Artists being out of commission.  Cathy Roffey is still recovering from surgery and Kath Ricks has been fighting COVID.  We trust the new year will bring them back to the team well-rested and fully recovered.

We do, of course, have a fabulous challenge for you.  As has been our habit these past few years, this will be a 3-Week Challenge hosted by Marsha.  It's an Anything Goes challenge so get those creative juices ready and link up your creation(s).  We can't wait to see what you're sharing with us!


And now for the awesome samples by our team:  Are you ready to be inspired by the terrific projects created by the Watercooler Artists?  I love how wonderfully diverse all our creations are for this fun challenge, don't you?   For details on how Marsha and all the Watercooler Artists created their projects, just click on the name underneath and you will be taken to that blog post.  We begin with Marsha's fabulous foil birthday card:

Stef Perry

Helen's Rocker:  Stef has created a wonderfully sweet little Christmas card with this cute little Santa checking his nice list. A perfect Chrismtas card sure to bring a smile.
