WWC100 - It's A Celebration!

Today the Watercooler Artists are in celebration mode.  It's our 100th challenge for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and we are all super excited!  As you can see, it's an "anything goes" challenge with a celebration theme.  So come join the fun and share the excitement with us.


We are pleased to have Bronwyn Eastley with us again as a Guest Designer for our 100th challenge.  As always, she has a fantastic card to share with us.  And, the lucky winner of this week's challenge gets to choose one of Bronwyn's tutorials for free.  So be sure to link up your celebration card for a chance to win.   

This is what Bronwyn has to say about herself:  "Hi, I’m Bronwyn Eastley, an Independent Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrator from Tasmania, Australia.  I love to create paper craft projects using SU’s extensive and gorgeous range of coordinating products. My passion is designing and making 3D, interactive cards with fun folds. I also love blogging, am an avid Pinterest fan and write card tutorials to help fund my obsession. Thank you, Heidi, for inviting me as a Guest Designer for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenges.


And now back to our team.  We have some great samples created by the Watercooler Artists to get your creative juices flowing. As usual, if you click on the name under each card, you can visit the blog post to see details of their "anything goes" celebration project.








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.

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

WWC99 - Marsha's Clean & Simple (CAS) Make It With Hearts Challenge

This week Marsha Reed is hosting a Clean And Simple (CAS) challenge for you.  There's only one catch.  You need to include a heart somewhere in your project.  Wedding, anniversary, birthday or Valentine's Day, hearts are the order of the day.

The rules are simple for our Clean And Simple challenge.  Show lots of open space, use minimal layers and use minimal embellishments.  The Watercooler Artists have given you many great examples of what our Clean And Simple challenge looks like.

Due to the holidays, this is our last challenge for 2016.  It will run for two weeks so, you have until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, January 2, 2017 to link up your project.


Ready to create and link-up?  Need a bit more inspiration?  Just check out the terrific ways in which the Watercooler Artists were inspired this week.

WWC97 - The Winner

Drumroll please!  It's time to announce the winner of Penny's Sketch Challenge.  Penny chose Heather Hopson's wonderful "Santa Chickadee" card as her winner.  What a great choice, since that card was beautifully finished both on the front and inside.


Heather, we hope you'll display your winner's badge, shown below, proudly on your blog.



Since there were only three link-ups, we've decided to leave it with the one winner.  A huge "thank-you", however, to both Donna Scholz and Steffi Hanuschlk for their wonderful projects.  Donna, those tags were such a great idea and Steffi, your little owl card was great.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow, December 14th, for the new Watercooler Wednesday challenge and the wonderful creations by the Watercooler Artists.
