Hello friends and my dear color enthusiasts! How are you? My 9th coloring challenge starts tomorrow lol. I am sooo behind the 8 ball but, that adds another element of F.U.N. right!
If you have NOT done one thing to prepare do NOT worry because I haven’t either … seriously not one thing!! If you want to see my previous video of essential supplies click here (they are still the same except for the corner rounder).
I commissioned Josh to collect & edit the photos to give them a cohesive look and then all I had to do was the voice over. I will be adding more photos for the next challenge so if you missed it don’t worry. Why wait you can do it now but, you won’t see it until the next challenge and I will try and slow down the video a little bit.
See you in TOMORROW!! I AM SUPER EXCITED!! Feel free to use the logo or grab logo that says “I’m taking …” . Thanks again for making this community such a great one!
If you are new to the 30 Day Coloring Challenges a very warm welcome to you and so happy you are here. I hope to answer any questions you might have or give you a little refresher if you have participated before.
I will be sharing daily here on my blog and Instagram and hopefully FACEBOOK PAGE where you can share your coloring (it’s a private group). Keep in mind I am not super active at FB but, we will have a presence there and the focus is community.
WHAT IS THE GOAL of the challenge: To color something daily even if it’s a few minutes but, certainly not required. (I know that I am happier when I am coloring even if it’s for 10 minutes.) Hopefully together along the way we will all stretch our creativity a little bit more. IN A NUT SHELL … it’s anything goes challenge … and whatever you feel inspired to do. Any medium of your choice including “coloring” with ink. Some days you will have more time than others but, it’s just about adding more time to color and carve out a little time for you.
CAN ANYONE PARTICIPATE IN THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE? YES please! If you want to participate you can jump in at any time during the challenge! Feel free to include your children and grandchildren. If you miss a few days don’t feel like you have to catch up. We all know life can get in the way.
HOW DO YOU SHARE WHAT YOU ARE COLORING? On Day 1. I will have a place for you to share on my blog with a link up. (here is the last challenge link up if you want to have a look) Two more ways to share are FaceBook or Instagram (these are more interactive) When you use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day I can find what you are doing. Kids & young adults use #thedailymarker30daykids.
WHAT IS A GOODWILL AMBASSADOR? Each challenge a group of people are chosen that were very active during during the previous challenge. They will be helping me spread love on Instagram and Facebook. The challenge is about coloring & it’s about community, spreading kindness & support for each other.
THE GOODWILL AMBASSADORS FOR THIS CHALLENGE are:
The challenge is about coloring & it’s about COMMUNITY, spreading kindness & support for each other ❤️😀 A huge shout out to these ladies Tatiana, Olya, Miriam, Isabel, Pam, Tracie, Maureen, Faye, Tina, Donna, Patricia (@tatianacraftandart @pershina_olya @tomandmiriam @isabelcristinanl @pocono.pam @tracieponddesigns @scrapgirl1467 @fayewynnjones @tinneke_th @donnadoll74 @scrapflower )
Patricia helps me with FB and contacting everyone & Patti helps me with Prize Patrol (When the next challenge rolls around I will be picking a new group of Goodwill Ambassadors and I hope I haven’t hurt anyone’s feelings this go around.)
WHAT IS “THE COLORING CHALLENGE ROAD TRIP” ? If you are new to the coloring challenge you most likely don’t know about the road trip. I am taking the coloring challenge on the road & my goal is to create some happiness with a feel good all day event that is affordable plus give back to the community at the same time . The Coloring Challenge Road Trip will have lots of stops that will be all day meet-ups for anyone who loves to color and wants to be with like minded people. You can check out the Dates & Locations for “The Coloring Challenge Road Trip” here.

I am so excited to be joining my very first 30 day coloring challenge! Kathy you are a HUGE Inspiration to myself and so many others! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us we are all truly blessed to have you! Huge hugs!!!
Welcome to your first coloring challenge. You really will find that not only is Kathy a fantastic lady and super talented teacher, but the whole community is so warm and embracing. I hope you will enjoy yourself and just in an have some fun each day, or however often you like, participating. If I can be of an any assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me!
Oh Maureen thank you so much honey! I am definitely very excited to be participating!!! I don’t have alot of supplies I am still rebuilding from a fire and on a very limited income as well as I was diagnosed with cancer a month after the fire so it’s been difficult but I love to color and craft, it has been so therapeutic for me. I am just excited to have this opportunity to be among some amazing and talented artists!!! Thanks again! Hugs
I loved your video, and I love you don’t edit you being you out. 🙂 I love seeing people be themselves! I am excited for this challenge, and absolutely love how you emphasize each time that it’s not a die-hard everyday challenge. 🙂
I am sooo excited! I am newby here
Welcome Mona! I am Maureen, one of The Ambassadors for this round and we are all so excited you are here. You will find that everyone is so welcoming and you’ll make many friends, I am sure. Kathy is such a loving, kind person and SO talented and you’ll learn tons just watching what see does. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance.
Such fun!
I’m always excited for the color challenge !!
The 30 Day Colour Challenge is so much fun. Even when I am too busy to colour some days, I love that it isn’t something I need to feel guilty about, all I have to do is TRY and make time for it each day and when I am relaxed about it, it HAPPENS! All ready and looking forward to tomorrow. Thanks Kathy. {{{HUGS}}}
I want to keep up this time, but my biggest goal for the next 30 days is figuring out what I can keep and what to give away (and to whom) as I prepare to clean out >30 years of ‘stuff’ in order to prepare to sell my house and downsize. I know I cannot possibly pack it all away, but my goal is to limit myself to one basket of supplies! Which to choose, which to choose? In spite of it all, I know I NEED to color a little bit each day, so I have my new coloring book and new colored pencils at hand while I wade through the rest of it! Thanks for some great timing! Can’t wait.
WOO HOO! I’m so excited! Here’s to seeing all the creative work that we crafters do. Thank you Kathy for another challenge, I have participated in them all and YOU contribute to my well being!
great video!
Kathy,
Thank you SO much for doing these challenges and for all the work you put into each and every one. Thank you for asking me to be an Ambassador this go around. I LOVE looking at everyone’s work and I get so inspired seeing what other people are creating. You have the warmest heart, and I hope you never start editing yourself, or your videos, you are REAL and that is why we all love you and relate to you.
Love your video with all the pretty smiling faces (guess Josh didn’t receive mine–will send again:) I always so look forward to these coloring challenges & so agree that I’ve seen my coloring improve because of them! Thank you for all your hard work it must take! So glad to see your Road trips starting up and still crossing my fingers for a Texas one! 🙂 Hugs!
FUN! FUN! FUN!
Kathy you are so CUTE! You are always worrying about hurting other people’s feelings, I have seen you type that so many times before in your post, I just love that about you!!!! So sweet, I swear!! That is how I know if I ever get to meet you we would hit it off, I am the exact same way girl! Looking forward to the Coloring Challenge. Thanks.
Hey Kathy! So are you going to be in PHX for CHA? How exciting! I met you in Mesa and luckily have a bunch of things already stamped and ready to color in different ways plus all the fabulous designs Helen gave us to color. It was so wonderful to meet you in person–and don’t apologize about your varying lines of thought–be YOU–cause it’s YOU we love and learn from! I use the small clipboard all the time while coloring while I’m on the couch. Thanks to you and the ambassadors for hosting another coloring event.
I love these and will be playing along. I have spread the news at my crop and at my Michaels. Love sharing dates and challenges ahead. Thank you so much!
I have just discovered the 30 day coloring challenge and I can’t wait to take part. This seems like so much fun and probably the motivation I need to get busy in my craft room again. The holidays were great but such a busy time and this is a good way to relax each day and have some fun.
Can’t wait!! Love the video with all its foibles!
I’m definitely going to join in this time around, lost my job recently and trying to get a new one is stressful, so doing this to destress me. With that said not having a job does give me more time to color 😉 Thank you for this great challenge!
Ack Marika sorry to hear that you have lost your job and I can only imagine how stressful it is. 🙁 I hope that there is a silver lining for you and it shows it’s self sooner than later. I do agree that the coloring challenge will help you and so happy you know that. Big Hugs, Kathy
Thank you for bringing us another coloring challenge. It gave me motivation to clear off my desk so I could actually color again (and boy, was it a mess)! I have never gone a full 30 days, but my goal is to always color more days than the last time! Hopefully, I will do that this time around!
You goal is perfect Jan … Woo hoo and so happy you are going for it again!!
Hello 😉
Normally I participate painting digital stamps with my copics, but I purshased a canvas with paint by numbers. Do you think I could participate with those?
Thank you
Great to be on this Coloring Challenge again. I loved it last time, although I didn’t colour a lot and still can’t. But its so much fun to follow the challenge and I will certainly try!
Thanks in advance Kathy for the next 30 days!!!
Hi all. I think its not late to join, but… I’m thinking if I can use any medium for it? I mean I usually coloring with distress inks. Can I use those?
Uhm now I see, I can. I should read everything first…
No problem at all Beatrix 🙂 So happy you will join! Woo Hoo
and just so you know it’s never to late for future reference. ;0
I am soooo ready for this challenge, I can’t wait!!!
Hi everyone! This year hope i will complete the entire challenge. It’s kind of experiment. I want to improve my coloring and relax a bit. And to see what happens.
Thank you for the chance to have so much fun Kathy!
