WWC310 - Marsha's Challenge: All About Occasions

Big changes!  Really BIG!

First and foremost, Marsha is hosting our very first bi-weekly challenge.  Yes, you read that right.  Our Challenge will extend to every two weeks.  In order to maintain the level of excellence we've always striven for with our challenge and yet avoid a total burn-out, we have decided to make that change.  Actually it should be exciting, don't you agree?

Our next big change is less exciting and a bit sad.   Karen Brown and Michelle Wallace have decided to leave the challenge as of  the end of the month and we will miss their wonderful projects, terrific personalities and team spirit a great deal.  Luckily we get to enjoy seeing this last sample for Marsha's challenge.  Hopefully they'll be back occasionally and link projects up to the challenges as well.

And now on with our ever-popular All About Occasions Challenge.

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 fun and versatile Birthday card:

Yvette

Dawn's Rock Star:  Just love Yvette’s cat card. The sentiment made me giggle seeing the expression on the cat’s face. Love the CAS watercolours game on the card. A great masculine card.

The Watercooler Rockers

Jolanda Johstone

Heidi's Rocker:  Jolanda has kept her card clean and simple and added a lot of interest with her various layers. The Subtle dry embossing is the perfect backdrop for the fox and simple sentiment. Love the colours used as well as the two colour matte behind the image.

Vicky

Marsha's Rocker:  Vicky's sympathy card is lovely.  I love the clean and simple design.  A very nice card

Rocky

Karen's Rocker:  Rocky created the most gorgeous tag that looks like aged metal. I've never heard ot Mica Magic, but the result is lovely.

Pam

Tristan's Rocker:  Pam has managed to recreate her hubby's 'life tresure' with her card and captured the rust on the bonnet perfectly and balanced it out with the checkered DSP and twine.

Kristie Goulet

Kath's Rocker:  Kristie has made a simple bold birthday card! A perfect card for a guy!

Cornelia

Michelle's Rocker:  I love the repeatedly stamped birds and how only two have been highlighted by colouring them. Cute card!

Sherri Thacker

Helen's Rocker:  Sherri has created a lovely peaceful calming seascape for her  card to celebrate a 100th  birthday!
