WWC151 - Charlotte's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Woo Hoo!  It's a new year and a new challenge.  This week Charlotte is hosting a Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge.  Let's see what everyone can create with a feminine twist.  We have some terrific samples by the Watercooler Artists to get those creative juices flowing, but first let me introduce our new six-month Watercooler Artist:

We have chosen a very creative lady to be on our team until the end of June.  Helen Finlay joins us from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.  Her lovely creations have wowed us in previous challenges and now we'll have a chance to see her lovely work on a weekly basis.

Woo Hoo!  It's week two of our brand new monthly line-up and this time it's a Theme challenge hosted by Penny Hanuszak.  And what is the theme?  It's all about Mom.  How fitting is that?

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend in North America, it seems fitting to dedicate our cards to the mothers in our lives.  You'll see from the diversity of samples created by our Watercooler Artists that there are so many choices.  From the cute to the romantic, to the elegant; cards for Mom come with a lot of love attached.  We begin with Penny's artistically romantic card:
