WWC205 - Donna's "All About Holidays" Challenge

Woo Hoo!  It's time for our awesome "All About Holidays" Challenge, hosted this week by Donna.  This challenge is such fun because it includes holidays all around the world.  Even if you're into working on getting your Christmas cards done bit by bit for this coming season, you'll have fun seeing the wonderful interpretations of this challenge.

Of course it's Week 4 for our special Guest Designer, Sandie.

Sandie Munro

I live in London, England and my blog is London Days where you will see I am very much a 'Clean and Simple' designer. In fact I am happiest just using stamps and inks and making one layer cards! I call it 'stamp and go'!  I run the challenge Time Out Challenges where I also get to use my love of administration.  I delight in visiting other crafters' blogs have made friends from all over the world through crafting.  I can't wait to see what you will all be creating.

WWC189 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers!

Tuesday has rolled around again and it's time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Heidi's "All About Holidays" 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 starts.  Well done!

Heidi's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Katrina's wonderful light the way design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#5 Katrina (ScrappyHorses)

Heidi's Winner:   I love the way Katrina has repeated the Christmas lights in the stamped image. The embossed lights with the sparkle on them, which she has in the background, fit so well with the die-cut Christmas light in which she has stamped the image. And what a perfect sentiment!

Congratulations, Katrina!  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as our Watercooler Rock Star.

Next up are the awesome creations that caught the eye of the other Watercooler Artists for our Watercooler Rockers.  They are shown in no particular order.

#11 Izabelle (Izzy Scrap)

Marsha's Choice:  Izzy has made an absolutely gorgeous clean and simple Christmas design.  I love the combination of stamping and die-cuts.

#15 Stephanie (SmilynStef)

Gail's Choice:  Love those little ghost faces. Stamping them on the DSP really adds interest.

#16 Trina P

Tristan's Choice:  I love the stunning background Trina created. It really glow and highlights those trees beautifully.

#3 Ruth (Tip Top Toppers)

Kath's Choice:  This is a darling card with wonderful coloring and a sweet image. The paper and embellishments make this card a winner.

#1 Donna Garafalo (Papyrus Studio)

Crystal's Choice:  Donna's little witch so adorable.  I loved her coloring and the not-so-spooky layout.

#18 Chris

Helen's Choice:   Chris has created a super fun card with those wonderful reindeers popping out of the windows. Great colour combinations and added elements.

Congratulations Izzy, Stephanie, Trina, Ruth, Donna and Chris..  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you one of our Watercooler Rockers.

There's our lineup for this weeks' Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, October 3rd, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.
