WWC195 - Charlotte's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Woo Hoo!  This week Charlotte is hosting our very popular Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge.  Basically this is an "anything goes" challenge with a feminine twist.  The type of card most of us love to create.

Before I go on,  I'm sure many are wondering about the Design Team Call.  That has now officially closed and we are sifting through the many blog posts involved, in an attempt to reduce the numbers.  The new team member will be starting with the New Year so, luckily, there is time.

And now on to the terrific projects by the Watercooler Artists to get your creative juices flowing.  I love how wonderfully diverse all our creations are this week, don't you?   For details on how Charlotte and the other Watercooler Artists created their projects, just click on the name underneath and you will be taken to that blog post.  We begin with Charlotte's wonderfully elegant Birthday Card:

And now it's your turn.  You can join us by linking up your creation with the InLinkz at the bottom of this challenge. 

Remember:

          1.  This must be a new project---no back-linking to a previous post.

          2.  You must link your project back to our challenge (details at top of page).

          3.  You must link directly to your post, not simply your general blog.

          4.  Please link to no more than 8 challenges, including ours.

WWC194 - "Anything Goes" Challenge

Woo Hoo!  It's the fifth Wednesday of the month and we all know what that means.  We're having an "Anything Goes" challenge.  We mean that quite literally.  This project does not have to be a card.  Show us your amazing creation.  We can't wait to see what you choose to link up this week.

But first, let's talk about our Design Team call.

This is the last challenge for which we will be accepting applications for our Design Team.  If you're interested and think you can keep up with a growing weekly challenge, just put DT behind your name when you link up your card.

NOTE:  All applicants must have an active Facebook page since our team runs everything through our private Facebook page.

All applicants must also have an English blog or a bi-lingual blog, one of which languages must be English.  Since all our planning and discussion is done in English, the applicant must be able to understand what is going on.

For an idea of how our challenge works, check out previous challenges HERE.

And now...

Let's have a look at  the terrific projects by the Watercooler Artists to get your creative juices flowing.  You can see how many ways an "Anything Goes" challenge can be covered, from a framed Christmas decor piece to an incredibly complex special fold and an absolutely gorgeous variety of cards.   For details on how the Watercooler Artists created their projects, just click on the name underneath and you will be taken to that blog post.  We begin with Heidi's Christmas decor piece:

WWC174 - Gail's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Woo Hoo!  It's Gail's turn to host one of our favourite challenges, the "All About Occasions" challenge.  There are endless types of occasions that come around all year long.  This is our chance to share what we create.

We have some awesome cards to share with you all, but first we have to say goodbye to two of our team members.  Penny Hanuszak, one of our long-term Watercooler Artists and Tenia Nelson, who hasn't been with us as long, are both leaving for personal and family reasons.  We'll miss their wonderful creativity.

As a result, we're having a Design Team Call.  Read carefully and please follow our instructions if you are interested in being considered for our team.

               reasons for wanting to be part of the team and what you believe
               you can bring to the challenge.
          2.  Please link your creation up to the challenge.  There is no need
               to put DT.  We will check out your blog as well as the card you
               link up.
          3.  We run this challenge as a team effort.  We have a new challenge 
               each week  to which to whole team contributes.  Everyone is 
               expected to vote for their top choice each week.  Deadlines and
               rules are in place for the whole team to follow.
          4.  Deadline for DT call:  June 25th.  We will choose the new 
              Watercooler Artists before the end of June and their first challenge
               will be July 4th.

Now that we have that piece of business out of the way, let's get down to our awesome samples.  As usual we have some terrific projects by the Watercooler Artists to get your creative juices flowing.  You can see how many different Occasions our team has covered for this challenge.   For details on how the Watercooler Artists created their projects, just click on the name underneath and you will be taken to that blog post.  We begin with Gail's beautifully crafted and coloured Christmas card:
