Day 4. Last day of hop & Giveaway

challenge_graphic-nov16_16x24
Hello Friends, How are you today? I am back again for Day 4 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Today is the LAST day of a THREE DAY blog hop & thank  you for hopping around. Today’s hop is another Instagram hop. You can participate from your computer by creating an account if you don’t have one and leave comments on their IG account. If that doesn’t interest you don’t worry 4 random winners will be chosen from the hop yesterday.

In case you missed it …. the reason for the three day hop is to feature some of the people that have helped make this community happen with their love and support to the challenge AND spreading their love on Instagram. It’s because of them the 30 day coloring challenge has turned into such a happy & beautiful community. 🙂

Mommy Lhey has such a unique whimsical style with her stamps and I love her style. These doodled sweaters and super fun.  The believe die cut is from Simon Says Stamp and I am in love with it.

For the next few days I will be at a retreat with some friends and I packed some supplies. My photos might be a little wonky and I am not in my groove yet.

On another note please scroll down to my last post … I had two posts yesterday & there is a chance you might have missed it.:)

There was a snowman in the stamp set and I masked off the snowman to add one of the doodled sweaters. The scale isn’t quite right and the background I am not digging. I just wanted to share something that I don’t like at all…. it happens to all of us. Tomorrow I hope to pick up some watercolors instead of markers.

Here is the full hop list. If you come upon a broken link come back and click on the next person. Each person in the hop will link you to the next person on Instagram or you can click through to each person from my list.

    That pink background card without the snowman would have been a beautiful card on its own. And vice-versa.

  6. Pam Hammarlund says

    I love your cards, and I love your sharing and teaching even more. You are so detailed, which I appreciate. Your color and shadow work is beyond incredible.

  7. CherylQuilts says

    Oh, Kathy, what fun! I love all these adorable “ugly” sweaters, but I remember wearing and loving them in the winter up north. Beautiful card, and thanks again for another post and opportunity to win! Hugs!

  8. bev p says

    It really isn’t too bad, but I have had lots of those: ideas that don’t turn out the way I thought they would or wanted them to. They make lovely grocery lists, though. That’s what I do, so at least they get some play and I haven’t totally wasted my resources!!! Have a great retreat!

  9. Susan G says

    I am enchanted with that first ugly sweater card. I love it. So cute. The second one isn’t bad, the snowman’s tummy needs to be chubbier…I think you did a great masking job. I hope you will have a happy retreat, charged up for more coloring. I look forward to your posts and videos. Have a wonderful weekend.

  11. jengd says

    Cute cards! I love what you did with the “believe” die cuts on the one- they stand out (literally) beautifully.

  16. Judy McGoodwin says

    I love the “believe” die as well….may have to get it! thanks for reminding me that things do not always have to work out or be perfect! That I have a problem with that and am working on trying new ideas and techniques regardless….to enjoy the journey! What I love best is how much my grandkids, friends and kids enjoy getting the cards. My 12 year old grandson keeps them all!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      How sweet your grandson appreciates your cards. Grandma keepsakes are special. Enjoying the journey is what the coloring challenge is all about. Colr like no one is watching. 🙂

  18. Woendi Levitt says

    Love these sweaters. They make me think of “ugly” sweater parties and make me giggle. TY again for your tips ans also Im enjoying the IG hop. Actually prefer it.

  22. Vinita Jain says

    So many treats for my eyes! Just completed this fun hop with such talented artist with their stunning coloring skill, really amazed me!
    And I love this cute snowman in his winter costume, so incredible!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Our coloring community is soooo amazing. I’m thrilled you enjoyed all the hops. 🙂

  27. Laura Jane says

    Congratulations for a successful MEGAhop, and Thanks for inviting me to join! Have a SUPER fun crafty weekend with friends:)) You deserve a recess!

  29. Irene Hyväri says

    You have such a great technique to coloring, which I love . THE stamped images always poped up.

  36. sally says

    In the UK they call them “Christmas Jumpers” and they are very popular, the uglier the better , yours are fabulous and would definitely be a hit!!

  37. BunnyD says

    Love these ugly sweater stamps! I have such a hard time trying to create cards! I’m so happy to hear you have some that don’t work out sometimes. Makes me feel a bit less braindead! You’re my idol!

  38. Samantha Johnson says

    I love these “ugly” sweaters, even though your’s aren’t ugly. fabulous coloring.

  39. Pocono Pam says

    Loooove your cards and coloring Kathy! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your AWESOME hop today! I have learned sooooo much from you in your past challenges. I have also met great men and women who love to color as much as I do! XOXOXOXO

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      I’m so grateful for your talent and support for the blog hop. I appreciate all the coloring challenges you have supported. All types are inspiration are gifts to ourselves. 🙂

  42. Becky M says

    Glad to hear I’m not the only one who sometimes turns out something I’m not crazy about!

  45. Essie says

    Oh boy, I LOOOOOOVE your sweaters!!! Your color just pops off the screen. Wish I could see it in real life 🙂

  51. Jean Bullock says

    I love Christmas sweaters. Great job on these. I think showing us a card you were not pleased with may backfire on you. Most of us would have been pretty proud of ourselves if we had made it, lol.

  53. Jane Sirak says

    These 30 day coloring challenges are so much fun. You inspire me.
    I love to water color paint….who knew?

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Trying new mediums are part of the journey and excitement. I am thrilled your are experimenting. Thanks for being part of the coloring challenge. 🙂

  56. Lucy Schmidt says

    I’d be happy wearing any of these. Such a whimsical stamp set. I haven’t been hopping much because I’m too busy coloring when I have a few minutes. Will try to catch a few and know I can always revisit your posts to connect any time. Thanks for making your challenge available to so many. I don’t “do” social media (I don’t need one more black hole in my life ;-)), but sure like looking at the projects your artist friends come up with.

  59. Ela Szczambura -handmade by Tilli says

    Hello Kathy I just want to say that I really, really, really like your cards and I extremely enjoy the daily marker 30 days coloring have a wonderful weekend!

  65. Marianne says

    Such a fun card with all those not so ugly sweaters. Still haven’t gotten around to setting up an Instagram account. Sigh…

  66. deborah kaye says

    The first sweater card is awesome. The second, I agree with you, a little awkward, but you’ll have it fixed in no time. 🙂

  69. Milka says

    Awwwwwwwww…. These sweaters and snowmen are super adorable!! I love your layouts and how you colored them! BEAUTIFUL!!! :o) Big hugs!

  71. D.Ann C says

    Hahaha! I LOVE the idea of a snowman in a sweater!! I wonder if IRL it would melt quicker or stay longer than the rest of him? lol!

  73. Carol Austin says

    Hello Kathy. . Love your cards. I especially like how you popped the sentiment on this one.

  79. Angie Hall says

    Those Christmas sweater stamps are so clever. Thanks for showing us that you are not always pleased with some of your creations. We need to hear that from the “professionals”

  82. TracyM #6773 says

    FUN stamps and FABULOUS colouring 🙂
    … LOVE ugly sweaters!!! I have to confess that it is pretty hot here, we even have the air conditioner chugging away => definitely not sweater wearing weather but always sweater colouring weather!!!

  83. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    I swear I did this hop but I can’t find my comment on here! Did it disappear? LOL I love Christmas sweaters. I have a bunch of them. I have a sweatshirt with Santa and the sleigh flying through the air & one with kittens in a stocking. The one with the kittens and glitter also has pants but the pants don’t fit anymore. I have a sweatshirt that I wore to dance when I was an elf (I’m 4’6″ so I’m part elf anyway. LOL) that I sewed jingle bells on the bottom of and wore with green velour pants. I wore reindeer ears with it. The kids loved it. My last one is an amazing Christmas tree with embroidery and gold balls on a hand knitted or it looks hand knitted sweater. That one is my fave. It says to hand wash it but if I did, it would still be drying next Christmas! LOL It’s so heavy but it’s so pretty. I machine wash it in a bag big enough for it on the gentle cycle and dry it on low heat for not to long. I think that’s why I love these stamps so much because they remind me of my sweaters. Of course you’re coloring puts my sweaters to shame. Can you come over and color one of my sweaters? LOL
