Hello Friends, Are you guys going through coloring withdrawal? The reality is even though I crave to color every day it just doesn’t happen unless I am doing the challenge. However… it’s safe to bet that I will try to carve out 10 minutes a day to color something.
Thanks again for the support, participation, kindness, enthusiasm, inspiration and time! Thank you…thank you…thank you! For those of you who uploaded projects on my blog I will be trying to get through those in the next week & some I might try but, might be unable to leave a comment. Thanks for the patience I appreciate it! 🙂
Today I wanted to condense all of the cards, videos and coloring into one post for easy reference. If you click on any of the thumbnails it will take you directly to that post with more info and product info etc. Next week I will announce the 3rd coloring challenge and I will have something else fun to announce.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July if you live in the USA . Hugs, Kathy

Laura P. says
Hi Kathy! Happy Independence Day to you, too! Thank you for consolidating the posts…so helpful! Now I want to go through them all again! 🙂
Tracey Magner says
Thanks Kathy, I like the idea of them all in the same post, althou I saved all your emails to refer back to. Also, I can quickly go down and pin my fav’s. So glad we don’t have to wait long to get info on the next challenge, I am already having withdrawals. Happy 4th everyone. Hugs.
Kathy H says
Thank you for doing this review. It really helps me to go back through all of the techniques you have used. This is such an impressive portfolio of art! Thank you for sharing all of this with us!

I had to laugh at your “I only do it when there’s a challenge” comment, because that’s so me! I did better this time than the first in getting something done every day — only really missed about 5 days total this time around. I’m hoping next time I’m able to cut missed days down to zero! In the meantime, I will try to get something colored every day, even if it’s only for a few minutes — I like seeing my stash of cards so full!
Thanks for hosting this and encouraging so much creativity. I’m looking forward to the next challenge!
Kathy Racoosin says
Irene, Impressive! Love your attitude. The next challenge will be in the fall plus I have another surprise coming. So keep watching. 🙂
Becky Green says

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO YOU TOO, KATHY!!! STAY SAFE & CELEBRATE!!! 😉

Thank you for putting these all in one place!! So much easier to refer back to them without searching all over!!
Can’t wait to hear when the next challenge is and your other news! Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Rebekka K says
I sure have enjoyed all your coloring this month. And how awesome all of the cards are on one post. Thanks, it has been fun.
Gail Plaskiewicz says
Oh my gosh! I love you so much for doing this e-mail! Last night my niece was over my house and I was showing her your website. I saved all of your e-mails in a craft folder on my computer so I could try some of your techniques. I was looking for Day 25 so I could show her those amazing stamps and what you did. I couldn’t find it for anything & I knew I saved it! I told her I would send her an e-mail when I found it. Now I can just send her this e-mail! Boy, did you help me out! By the way, she loved your web site! What I want to do with the Day 25 stamps is put them on tee shirts, canvas bags, use glitter, emboss them, the more I see the more ideas I am coming up with! I am so going to get a lot of usage out of those stamps!
Thank you for you’re amazing blog and for doing the 30 day challenge. Can’t wait for the next one to start up! I am in such a good mood right now and it’s thanks to you!
Kathy Racoosin says
Gail, How wonderful you have your niece to share with. Coloring is certainly a bonding experience. Keep that good mood going. Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
Nataliea says
Thanks so much for putting all in one place. I will definitely refer it to it many times. I love your site. God Bless America And prayers for peace all over the world.
Brithzi Sandy says
Thanks, Kathy. Have a safe and happy 4th. May God continue to look upon this nation with mercy and may He continue to bless us.
Tricia Ann says
Sweet Kathy, thank you for your monthly coloring challenges. Because of you I have upped my game in my favorite hobby. This past challenge was indeed a challenge for me because I don’t have Copic markers. I can’t do nice blending with the markers I have. I would like to do another challenge with mixed media. Keep up the good work where work is play and LOADS of fun! ❤️
Kathy Racoosin says
Tricia, I’m so excited you upped your own game. This challenge is for YOU. Tons of more fun coming in the fall. Challenge 3! Plus keep a look it for another surprise, 🙂
Pocono Pam says
You ROCK Kathy! You made June 2015 a fun one! Have a safe holiday!
Tracey McNeely says
Thank you Kathy for doing this wrap up post. I missed so much of this challenge that I had been so anxiously waiting for. With buying and new house and selling ours the same week and closing the end of this month my focus wasn’t there! Hugs to you for being such an amazing inspiration!
Sheri K says
Thanks again Kathy–it was marvelous! Who knew I’d love coloring with pastels!
Pam says
Great idea! Thanks putting so much work in making it easy for us to access all the info.
Dotty Jo says
Thanks for the recap, Kathy! I decided to ‘vote’ for my favourite day… but then gave up as I LOVE everything you made for your 30 fabulous colouring days, Jo x
Lisa (ThePurplePlace) says
That was great! Thanks Kathy!!
Suzi Metcalfe says
I keep reading and thinking, I can do this! I even own some of the materials, but I get cold feet. I am afraid to color!
Kathy Racoosin says
Suzi, Color like no one is watching. This is for you to have fun and experiment. Warm up those feet another Challenge is coming in the fall. Color is your friend. 🙂
Nora says
Thank you for putting this all in one post for us. You rock!! I tried to color all thirty days but June is a difficult month for me. I think next time you have this challenge, I am going to stamp a bunch of images BEFORE the challenge starts so I have them all ready to color. You would think I would have done this in the first place!! I appreciate all your hard work and all the wonderful videos/projects you posted. They are so inspiring!!
Teresa says
Another great colour challenge. I enjoyed seeing all that you did again here at once. They are all so awesome. Looking forward to the next one but in the meantime I hope you take some time for yourself and enjoy your summer. Thanks for doing this!
Barb Schmidt says
loved participating in my first challenge . Can’t wait for the next, so I’m still drawing or coloring everyday.
Keep the cards and videos coming and I’ll keep watching.
Brenda Lee says
So glad to see a summary! Being one of your newest followers, I haven’t had a chance to go back and read your posts. This makes it VERY easy. Thank you!!! I’m truly inspired every time I see a new post from you.
Kathy Racoosin says
Brenda, Welcome to my blog. You have plenty of time to go back and be ready for Challenge 3 in the fall. You’ll have learned making time for you is important! 🙂

Wow… there is something so satisfying seeing that huge stack of cards all put together…and they’re not even mine! LOL!! I just like seeing it all come together in the end. Amazing month. Thank you so much doing this again. I so enjoy following each day.

Cheryl O says
Kathy, thank you for putting all of the examples in one location, how nice! I will admit I didn’t color every day, however it inspired me to get going again. Thank you so much for helping me to feel that creative urge again, I love it!!! I look forward now as well to setting aside time daily to color or paint……
Kathy Racoosin says
Cheryl,Inspiration and creative urges are all good. You find that time for you. Challenge 3 will be coming in the fall and another surprise.
Marisela Delgado says
Hola, Kathy! I would absolutely love to teach you Spanish, as you said. =) When I saw that photo of the stack of cards that you made for the challenge, one thought came across my mind. What I wouldn’t give to be able to just go through your things? Not for bad purposes, but to admire every beautiful thing that you have and have made. =) I commented to you that I LOVE the stamp set that you used for Day 25. I LOVE designs like that. Well, I was at Tuesday Morning (do you have Tuesday Morning in Maryland?) and I found a similar stamp. I was so excited!! Even my mom said it’s cute. Maybe I’ll make something and send it to you so you can LAUGH, I mean, see it. Kidding. =) Thanks for always inspiring to make beautiful things and to do more. I hope to one day be as awesome as you. Your cards bring me such joy.
Taunya Butler says
Thank you for the way you have made this wonderful reference post for us!! You are a whiz and I admire you very much!! Thanks so much for all the inspiration you give!!
