WWC117 - Heidi's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Welcome, welcome, welcome.  So much is happening today!

     1) We have a new challenge (of course) and it's totally new
     2) We are changing our line-up of challenges (check out the monthly list in the right column)
     3) We are saying goodbye to Heather Hopson
     4) We are welcoming two new Watercooler Artists

Our unhappy news is that Heather Hopson has an enormous garden to tend this time of the year and is leaving us.  We'll miss her creativeness, her talent and her happy disposition and I'm sure you will, too.

On a happier note, if you'll remember, some weeks back we had a shout-out for new Design Team members.  Well, you're about to see their creations today as Judy Markowitz and Fiona Whitehead begin their work as Watercooler Artists.

WWC117 - Heidi's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Since our Masculine "Anything Goes" challenges have been so popular, we decided to create a challenge that is purely Feminine.  Again, it's an "anything goes" challenge, but remember that the card has to have a real feminine quality.  Would you like some samples to make it more clear?  Of course you would!  And here are the wonderful cards created by our Watercooler Artists for this brand new challenge.  We begin with the lovely birthday creation by our hostess, Heidi Weaver.

WWC116 - Kath's Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Woo Hoo, this week Kath Ricks is hosting a Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge.  How fun is that?   Basically you just have to think masculine.  Otherwise anything goes.  It can be as simple or as fancy as you please.  It can be for a birthday, anniversary, congratulations, or anything at all.  Your choice. 

Before we have a look at the wonderful cards created by our Watercooler Artists, we have a Guest Designer this week since we have a vacancy in our Design Team to fill.  Luckily a frequent participant, Sheri Lee, was able to jump in and fill the gap. 

Sheri has always been crafty, even as a young girl.  She was introduced to cardmaking many years ago and then, 10 years ago, discovered Stampin' Up!  Four years ago Sheri resigned as a demo and rediscovered her love of cardmaking.  We're glad she did because it's always such a joy to see her cards.  (When not making cards, Sheri loves yoga, impromptu headstands and, if she can find one, devouring a nice slice or two of cheesecake.)

And now for the samples created by the Watercooler Artists.  You can see from the diversity of the cards created by our Watercooler Artists that there is a huge range of options open to you.  As usual, if you click on the name under each card, you can visit the blog post to see details on how the card was created.  We begin with Kath's awesome Lift Me Up thank you card.
