Hello friends and my dear color enthusiasts! How are you? Eek I am sooo excited that June 1st is the 10th anniversary of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” and it’s almost here!!! Thank YOU for getting me to the 10th coloring challenge … I have all of YOU to thank for that! Your participation, inspiration, support and time is what keeps me coloring and doing these 30 day challenges!! Thank Y.O.U.!! I think the 10th is a pretty big accomplishment for all of us for whatever type of participation we did during the past 30 day challenges. Woo Hoo!
With that said this 10th anniversary will bring blog hops, lots of giveaways, prizes & perhaps a few surprises during the 30 days to celebrate this coloring community.
Here are a few giveaways to wet your whistle ha ha. I have been working hard behind the scenes to make the 10th coloring challenge a memorable one & a way to show my appreciation to all of YOU.
If you have NOT done one thing to prepare do NOT worry because I haven’t either … seriously not one thing!! (to clarify coloring related prep I have NOT done just other stuff for the challenge) If you want to see my previous video of essential supplies click here (they are still the same except for the corner rounder).
On December 13 I had a photo request and so many of you were so kind to send in photos & I thank YOU for doing that.THE VIDEO REPRESENTS OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAS BLOOMED AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR … IT’S MY WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU FOR BEING AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. If you missed that opportunity please send send in a photo.
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 this challenge so if you missed it don’t worry. Click here for the photo info. (I will slow down the next video lol)
See you June 1 !! 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:
A huge shout out to these ladies Patricia, Tracy, Carol, Daniela, Janelle, Jean, Cheryl, Kristina, Barb, Sharla, Barb & Rubeena . Here are their IG handles (@rubznaz , @bdengler4 , @sharla3511 , @1busyb , @ruok72 , @cardsandclutter , @jeanchaneyaz , @nelljones2411 , @pepitahasenkeks , @c.ann.h, @mycornerofcraft22 @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 have taken the coloring challenge on the road 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 has & will continue to 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.
Feel free to grab the logos below to share on your social media. Thank you all again I am so grateful and super excited. See you soon!! Big Hugs, Kathy

I love the owl in the link to the supplies video. I especially love that the cutline does not leave a white border as most does do. Could you tell me what stamp and die you used?

I’m looking forward to the next challenge, plan to finish a set of greeting cards I make for my Mom each year, for Mom’s day. I had too much going on, so didn’t get them all done before Mom’s day. I also just noticed you will be in AZ in October, I’m sad to miss this year, I plan to be in MN this October during that day, doing a Fall colors trip around Lake Superior with some MN family members. So sorry I’m going to miss it! It was wonderful last year.
Fantastic, 10 years! I haven’t been with you that long, but I love learning all the time. You are so generous with sharing and I really appreciate the things I have learnt so far. To relax, I watch tutorials and I really enjoy your company. Thank you.
SQUEAL!! I’m SO EXCITED!! This is going to be SO AWESOME!! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing and here’s to another AMAZING 30 Day Color Challenge!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! <3 <3 <3
Whooot Whoot, congrats on the 10th challenge! I’m stoked to be part of the ambassadors and to get my coloring on!! Can’t wait to see all the amazing colorists and what images they bring to life…looking forward to the inspiration 😀
I watched your 9 th challenge but just watched, this year I’ve brought a new colour pencil set, 12 zigs, watercolours and marker as well as paper and ink. I’ve done some printing ahead just in case my disability continues to play up I can colour those but have won a few stamp sets off the wonderful May Park to try also, a few was an envelope crammed packed x
How exciting! I’m looking forward to this…I hope I can participate more often this time 🙂
I just found out about the challenge and I am so excited to participate
Looking forward to joining and committing to my first challenge, and I’ve challenged my teen son, who loves to draw and colour, to play along too. We both have had a stressful month, and this will be something to relieve some of that stress, and do together. Can’t wait.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
Love your coloring and learning so much every time I watch one of your videos.
WooHoo. What a great challenge. I loooove to color.
Love to see how everybody colors with different mediums. I am hoping to find time to do some coloring. Congrats on 10 years!
Great coloring fun ahead!!!
This is my first time! Yay me! Question about the giveaways… is there a blog hop everyday? So we comment on each hop location to win? Only saw places to hop on Day Two so far…
To join in the fun do we need to post our coloring on all three ways… FB Insta and your link to be eligible for prizes?
Thanks!
I am new to this challenge, but I hope to be involved everday!
Love the cards. Great colors. Great flowers.
