WWC204 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers

Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Gail's Masculine (Anything Goes" 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!

Gail's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Shani's cute birthday chef card.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#1 Shani (Paperesse)

Gail's Winner:   Shani has combined so many interesting elements in her design without it being fussy. The combination of the patterns is very pleasing and the paper-pieced towel and bow tie and great touches. And what man wouldn't love a birthday cake dripping with frosting?

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

Now on to the other wonderful designs that caught the eyes of the other Watercooler Artists for our Watercooler Rockers.  They are shown in no particular order.

#13 Caroline Paton (KISS)

Marsha's Choice:  I love Caroline's adorable guitar playing chihuahua.  That mustache just adds such character.  It's a well done clean and simple design.

#10 Darnell

Heidi's Choice:  Darnell has made an adorable graduation card using wonderfully bright colours. I love that owl sitting on top of the textbooks and, of course, the unique vertical placement of the sentiment. 

#5 Jane Willis

Karen's Choice:  Jane has created a beautiful and unique card using a technique I would love to try...embossing with an embossing folder so you have two different effects going on. Her black and white city-scape set at an angle is very eye-catching.

#25 Nandini

Kath's Choice:  Nandini's generational stamping is wonderfully done! It is hard to believe it is hand stamped and not DSP an all-around wonderful card.

#11 Janice

Dawn's Choice:  Janice has made a great masculine card. The colouring of her vehicle is superb. All over an awesome card.

#19 Kylie

Donna's Choice:  Kylie has created such a super cute boy card. I love how she masked, then stamped all the circles to fill in the triangular areas! It looks so perfect that at first I thought it was pattern paper!!!. The sweet dinosaur with this tiny "RAWR" would make any little boy smile.

#22 Stephanie L

Tristan's Choice:  Stephanie has created a super classy card and that pink love heart is perfect for the bowtie and the colour just makes it pop. It was a great interpretation of the sketch.

Congratulations Caroline, Darnell, Jane, Nandini, Janice, Kylie, and Stephanie!   Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as one of our Watercooler Rockers.

That's our lineup for this weeks' Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, January 23rd, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.

WWC204 - Gail's Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Woo Hoo, Gail is hosting our terrific Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge this week.  This is a great opportunity to create something special for those men (of all ages) in our lives.

Of course it's Week 3 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.
