WWC183 - The Winners!

Can you believe it's Tuesday, again, and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Gail's Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.  But first, we'd like to thank all those who played along with us.  Your entries this week were fantastic!  As always, it's a hard choice for us to make as we think you are all stars.  Well done!

Gail's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Mary Deatherages' buffalo checked masculine Christmas Card.  Well done!  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#26 - Mary Deatherage (Stamps-N-Lingers)

Gail's Winner:  This design is so warm and cozy-looking, with a lot of detail - while keeping a clean-looking design. A perfect rustic look for a country Christmas.

Congratulations to Mary!  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.

#10 Wendy Rudd (Cartai)

Marsha's Choice:  Wendy's design reminds me so much of my three boys.  Converse and blue jeans.  I love how she incorporated the sketch into her design by using the enamel dots.  Very clever!

#20 Jane Willis

Crystal's Choice:  Her use of an image from a CD was so creative and it was the perfect masculine fishing scene!

#7 Sandy G

Kath's Choice:   Sandy's card made me laugh! I don't think there is anything about this card I don't like.

#24 Cornelia Wenokor (fun stamping)

Tristan's Choice:   I love the vibrant colours Cornelia used and the great layering effect she achieved with the triangles.

#15 Ina Grehan

Heidi's Choice:  I love the colours that Ina used. Such a bright and striking mix! The stamped background textures are the perfect contrast for those awesome guitars.

#4 Ishani

Helen's Choice:  You can't help but smile when you look at Ishani's card with its beautiful night sky and cute little super mouse!

#12 Karen Brown

Charlotte's Choice:  A very fun get get well card. I love the CAS design, and it would definitely brighten the recipient's day.

Congratulations to Wendy, Jane, Sandy, Cornelia, Ina, Ishani and Karen.  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, August 22nd, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.
