Hello Friends, EEk!! Today is the last day of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. The last day is always so bittersweet for me …it’s like when the holidays are over and you get that let down. I want to thank you each and everyone of you for making the challenge a success. Your daily visits, the comments, the participation, the support etc. etc. T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. from the bottom of my heart 🙂
I will be announcing a date for the next 30 day coloring challenge once I wind down, announce winners, visit all of you that uploaded to my blog etc. etc. Still lots to do lol.
For this last day …well it just happens to tie in with the most exciting announcement for me and I have been anxious to share it with you all.
My big news is that I, Kathy designed the stamp set for Hero Arts “My Monthly Hero”November kit!! Please pass me some fainting salts! My first ever stamp set with my own designs! As you can imagine it’s a dream come true!!! Hero Arts introduced their first kit in October and it sold out so fast….just a little pressure.
So today is a sneak peek of sorts. The full set will be revealed & go on sale this Monday at NOON on the Hero Arts web site. You will find more sneaks on the Hero Arts blog today and all weekend leading up to Monday. Nothing like playing with your own stamp set. Sooo many fun little elements to make mini terrariums, eco systems and or ornaments.
I turned one of the succulents into coral for my watery scene. I colored the windows in the pagoda so that it”lights up” and glows inside my blown glass ball.
Hero Arts is NOT revealing my name yet and only you guys will know that little secret. Can you keep that little secret until Saturday?
On Monday at 7am EST Hero Arts will announce a winner of one of the “My Monthly Hero” kits from the comments left on the Hero Arts blog this weekend. AT NOON EST on Monday, Hero Arts will reveal the full kit on their blog and so will I. The kits will go live in the store at that time….it’s all pretty dang exciting. I will also have a giveaway on my blog on Monday. Here is the link to the Hero Arts blog if you want to see more sneaks of the kit. I am super excited & I hope you love it as much as I do.
As far as the challenge goes you can continue to play along for the next few days so we can separate slowly lol. I will be back Monday for the full reveal of the kit and later next week I will announce the winners to all of the giveaways. Thanks again and again for everything! Big ole’ hugs, Kathy

I saw some sneak peeks on the HA website, but finally found the time to come here and congratulate you. Well done on designing your first stamps set and for Hero Arts no less. But hey, we already knew you were a talented lady and sweet and generous too. Thanks for hosting another 30 day colouring challenge and for motivating us to go and have fun colouring!

Wow!!!! Kathy, that’s so awesome! Congratulations! So happy for you…and guessing it’ll sold out just as fast as last month’s kit because it’s got YOUR name on it! Very cool! 🙂

Glad to hear the great news! You really should have craft a stamp set with your name on it long ago as you are such a talented lady!

Congrats Maude. I bet you are going to have a blast with all that awesome stuff.
I so hope there’s some left when I get enough money saved up. That kit is so cool. Hubby and I just purchased our very 1st little cottage style home and I’m trying to get some greenery going outside and in of course. Those are exactly the type I’m wanting. Your pics are going to help me show the greenhouse dude at Bobs Market what I’m wanting to get started.
Plus the stamp set will help me decorate the inside of my lil small cubby hole room with big glass windows that in gonna use for growing plants. Those stamps will make gorgeous window clings for it.
Dag gone it there better be some left.
Sorry for long comment.
I can’t recall ever being this excited over a stamp/die set before. Haha. I’m ridiculously wanting it. Haha. Thanks IF you read this loooong comment.

I love this stamp set. It is so original and there are so many things that you can do with it! Succulents are so beautiful mixed with the Christmas ornaments; something I never thought to do on my own. Keep up the great ideas. I would love to win this stamp set because I can’t find it anywhere and I must be able to play with it!!!
