WWC205 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers

Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Donna's "Holiday's Around the World" 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!

Donna's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Claire's beautifully done monochromatic card.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#10 Claire

Donna's Winner:  Claire's card is adorable with it's very happy kitty, Newton! Her bokeh background adds a feeling of lightness and fuzzy feelings Newton is no doubt feeling. I can't imagine this card in anything else but monochromatic!!!

Congratulations, Claire!  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.

#11 Debbie

Gail's Choice:  Debbie has used such a cute image of the caroling couple. I love the Victorian feel to this design. The monochrome background really makes the focal image the star of the show.

#6 Shani (Paperesse)

Dawn's Choice:   The penguins are simply delightful. The background of the black and white music looks amazing with the red and white layers. The addition of the metal music notes finishes the design beautifully.

 #15 Lynn

Marsha's Choice:  Lynn's design perfectly shows off that great sentiment.  I love the simplicity and the soft reds and greens.

#2 Darnell

Tristan's Choice:  Darnell has created a fabulous CAS card with that textured blue base, prominent white sentiment and that pop of colour with the red heart.

#9 Marina

Karen's Choice:  Marina has created an adorable clean and simple Valentine card. With just a few elements she has created a fun little scene anyone would enjoy receiving.

#19 Ma-Mi

Charlotte's Choice:  Ma-Mi has made a gorgeous clean and simple card. The colour palette is perfectly wintry, and the masking beautifully done. Really lovely design.

#3 Jane Willis

Heidi's Choice:  Jane has created an awesome card for the Chinese New Year. The black seems almost lacquered and shows off that gold foil and the red beautifully. I love that wonderful stamped dragon and that tied-on good luck money.

#14 Heather Hopson

Helen's Choice:  Heather's card is stunning with it's bright red and black die cuts. Love the way the design carries over onto the inside of the card!

#13 Karen

Kath's Choice:  Who doesn't love a pun based Valentine? The coloring on Karen's card is excellent! the image and the die-cut work well together.

Congratulations Debbie, Shani, Lynn, Darnell, Marina, Ma-Mi, Jane, Heather and Karen!  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 30th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.
