Hello Friends, How are YOU!!! I miss the 30day posting and “chatting” with you all. (more on that at the bottom)
I forgot that you guys don’t always need to see a card so I decided to post some coloring. Love this stamp set from Stamping Bella and they are having a 20% off sale. SWEET!
My card and gift is super late…I am so bad!! Aren’t they a stunning couple?! Such a sweet love story too 🙂
After I finished my fussy cutting I was cleaning up and noticed the back of the package had an awesome example on it so I had to copy it.
It’s a good way to show that some simple coloring without shading can look just as pretty don’t you think?
When should the next 30 Day Coloring Challenge be? Please weigh in and tell me if September or October is better for you.
Have a happy happy weekend. Hugs, Kathy
with sympathy
Day 16. Blog Hop Day 2. Plus Giveaway
Day 11. Add some stripes
My vote is for September but October would be ok too.
I vote october
WooHoo! Another 30 day challenge!
My vote is September.
Love those cards… Cool bride & groom.
Heavens Kathy! You’re the one that has to find the time. Which is better for you?
The sequins arrived from Lucy’s and they are gorgeous! Thanks so much again for the giveaway. My husband said, ” Is there a princess here? Someone got Royal Mail.”
I like October better! Or you could just start mid September and end mid October.
October pleeeeease. I’m having a baby and therefore going to have 4 months leave from work starting october. I am sure I can color in between feeds lol
Either September or October works for me. It’s all about creating a little time to create, isn’t it? Having said that, life’s a little too hectic right now to actually sit down and craft. My husband’s surgery went well, though, and I should be able to take him home from the hospital tomorrow.

BTW, is there anything I still need to do to collect my prize from the last 30D colouring challenge? I did send you an e-mail using the contact form on your blog a good while back, but I’m not sure you received it?
What a sweet card! I’m sure the couple will love it no matter how late it may be! I vote for September but of course, I don’t mind if October is picked either! Thank you Kathy!
Any time is good for me…retired. I would love some tips on making flat images such as a skirt on a dress shaded so that the skirt (or whatever) has dimension like ripples/highs and lows. Does that make sense? I have a lot of the My Favorite Things Pure Innocence little girl images and it would be helpful to know how to better color the plain skirts so they don’t just look flat. Thanks so much.
GORGEOUS cards!!!
I don’t mind, either works for me at the moment, I’m hoping to have a lot more creative time for my heart & hands from August 🙂
THANK YOU in EXCITED ANTICIPATION!!!
Wow this Wedding Photo so handsome! They look incredible! Love the Stamping Bella being late it should bring back a flood of memories! How about September, making it once a Quarter but I see October had the vote! No matter Sweets!
October please, gives me time to get organised for the next one! Gorgeous colouring xx
My first thought was September but either one would work for me, too. One of the advantages of being retired.
So pretty! Your coloring is amazing!
Gorgeous cards! I love this image and might have to buy 🙂
Either month !
I love all your videos and vote September….might be too much of a withdrawal if I have to wait until October :o)
Great cards!! September for me!!! I’m impatient, LOL!!!!
October
I vote October and this time I will definitely take part each day I found my favourite mediums and fell in love with Copics 😀
I vote October.
October please.
LOVE your wedding card and the couple are beautiful! LOVE her veil so much.
I think October would be best since September is transition time for parents of school age children and teachers from summer schedules to school schedules. Having it start in October would give them a little respite and wind down time after the craziness of back to school and all that goes with it.
Just my opinion though. I could do either month! Looking forward to it!
Awesome coloring! I’m dying to know what their story is. September for me!
October Please!!!!!!
Love your Wedding card. I vote for October.
Fantastic image and I love it both ways. For the coloring challenge I’d say October, September is kind of crazy with school starting.
Gorgeous!! Either works for me!
I think it should be September, October, November, December………. 🙂
On a serious note, I don’t think I could wait till October, so I vote September!
The wedding card is beautiful. I’ll go for October although either would work for me.
Hi Kathy! As always your coloring is amazing! I always look forward to your posts. You are so talented amd sweet!
October! After my kids go back to school ☺
September. School will have been going for a week. Oct. is crazy with costumes and parties and such.
I’m usually bogged down in October, so September is better for me, but you’re the one that really does all the work. Which month is better for you? I will love it no matter when.
October!
great another 30 day coloring!
both would work for me..
September please…can’t wait till October! lol
October
My goodness your cards are just stunning. I have been so busy and haven’;t had a chance to comment on your last month of coloring but sure followed every day. My vote would be October.
Great card and coloring Kathy! I already left my vote on Instagram for October-I’m going to be traveling in September.
September for me!
beautiful card !
Well, I’ll be retired after 11 more work days, gonna spend August re-doing my craft room/ studio, so guess I’ll be ready by September….. Or October Or Nov.
Beautiful colouring! This stamp is gorgeous! I vote for October.
Either is good for me 🙂
Either though September I will be in town the whole month so slightly more time to play. Love your inspiring cards and this adorable stamp by the way! Thank you for doing this for all of us followers!!! Definitely NOT November nor December!!!! So looking forward to it!
My vote is October since I am cookie mom and Girl Scout cookies go on sale here in September, but I will make September work if that is when it is. I really enjoyed the last one and did all but four days. Thanks for hosting the challenges.
Either is good for me! Your card is gorgeous… And so are the happy couple, Jo x
October would be fun. Seasons starting to change and all. But whatever works best for you is fine and dandy.
Hi Kathy! I love your coloring on your wedding card! We are a family of mixed ethnicities, so I really appreciate you recognizing the skin tones. That’s a beautiful thing! Both of your images are lovely and the sparkle on them makes me smile. What a great looking couple, too!
I am missing the coloring challenge, too! I voted on Instagram(1BusyB) but I will vote here, as well. I cast my vote for October. It’s my favorite month and I would love to spend it coloring with you and all of the lovely ladies I’ve ‘met’ thru Instagram during the other challenges.
Love the card! September please. Will be working hard on Craft Sale items in October. Well will be working on them in Sept too, but October is long days of getting ready.
Kathy! Such a great card and beautiful couple! My daughter is getting married next year and I cannot wait! I vote for October!
Beautiful card! I am sure they will love it.
I say every other month. So August and October. Not a choice?? Ok, then September please!
What a beautiful card! For the next colouring challenge, either month works for me as I’ll be travelling a bit and would have to catch up no matter which month is chosen! I’m just happy you’re choosing yo lead us again :0)
So, my husband will be in China for 2 weeks in Sept which frees up a lot of my evenings….I say Sept! 😉 But Oct would work, too….
September would be fine for me please
They are indeed a lovely and handsome couple!! What a beautiful and personal card you have created for them!! Love it and the addition of the sparkle is a GREAT idea!!
I vote September but whenever you do it I will try to participate as much as I can!! Thanks so much for being such a wonderful person!!
October!
October is usually a quieter month for me.
I loved seeing your coloring of this delighted image on instagram but it’s even more stunning here on your blog. What a gorgeous couple – love how he’s looking at her so adoringly. I’m happy with September or October – see how helpful I am? ~Maggie aka rahzicrafts.
Once September comes, my life gets way more hectic and time shorter, so either month is equally good (bad) for me! October does have 31 days though!!!! :))
October please
If it doesn’t rush you too much, I like Sept. Some may start working on their Christmas cards in Oct.
Beautiful work Kathy!! They are a cute couple!! Both months work fine for me.. I look forward to it!

What a beautiful image! The happy couple will LOVE it!! Thanks for planning another 30Day Coloring Challenge, Kathy! Either month works for me. October seems like a quieter time for coloring here. I promise to participate more this time!! ♡
Your card is awesome!!! I will be traveling in September, so I vote for October. Of course, I’m only one person and could catch up in the month of October!!!!
Love the coloring. So very pretty. I vote for October. September is pretty busy with school going back in. My baby will be starting grade 12! Can you believe it? It’s hard for me to believe.
Either month works for me! Thank you so much for sharing all of your beautiful work!
Wow Kathy , this stamp is soo beautiful . I love coloring big pics like this.You do it justice my friend.September would be perfect,there’s no holiday in September .Perfect for me.
I just love your wedding card! I also vote for October and then I will finally take part in my first 30day color challenge
I vote for October
October
Hi Kathy,
Either September or October would be good – I think our school holidays are between these months anyway (Australia), so I can get the kids involved this time around 🙂 I haven’t posted anything as I dont have a blog or anything related to this so was thinking if you could maybe start up a Facebook page for us as well? Not sure how hard this would be or if I am asking too much ;}
What a beautiful couple. Love, love the red sash! October would be wonderful. Thanks for taking this on again!
I vote for October
I would pick OCTOBER because: September…. we parents AND kids are getting into the swing of the new school year with all new classes and extracurricular activities. By October, all that will have been gotten used to and the scurrying around and trying to remember this and that will long be done with. Thanks for having this vote.
I vote for October…Just because I hope some of the colors of fall and winter can be included.
I would like September cause it keeps me colouring and I love that. But I an do either so happy to go with the flow (nononono I really want September then you could squeeze in another one before the year ends, ohhh my goodness am I greedy 🙂
Hi Kathy! I vote for September, because its closer. lol hope to see you soon!
Love the card! Love the couple too! I watch Say Yes To The Dress so I was admiring her veil and the rest of her outfit. Mom & I watch it a lot. I’ve never been married but I love wedding gowns. My mom was married in 1950 and her wedding gown is almost exactly like Princess Kate! How did she manage to copy my moms? LOL
In Sept. there is a 2 week long fair called The Big E, The Eastern States Exposition. It’s all the Eastern States in one fair. My sister has a booth with her shawls and handbags that have her photography on them. I work with her and she pays to me to work about 4 hours, sometimes longer and then I go and enjoy the fair. The fair is from 10-9. I don’t spend the whole 2 weeks with her but when I do, I’m hardly on my computer, so Oct. would be better for me. I just hate to wait so long!
I finished my flower pot and I love it! It is colorful & pretty & I can’t wait to use it. Will post a photo for you. Took me a while but it was so worth it!
October! Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for too. Plus it’s my big 50 this year.
Both work for me.
Gorgeous image Kathy, totally perfect for a wedding card.
I have no preference to September or October I’m just looking forward to it. 🙂
I vote for October, please.
Such a gorgeous card for a beautiful couple! I would love it if you had a September challenge. I’ve never played along with your challenges before so I’m super excited! Happy Friday.
Kathy, September !! But i’m just happy we are doing it again, so whenever. Also, I got that stamp when they released it a few weeks back, love it and how you did it. Beautiful !!!
I vote October because it’s my birthday month – yay!! X
Sept. would be best for me but I understand that it may not be for others. I just hope to be able to do this every single day.
I vote for October. But I wouldn’t ignore if it is in September. Just don’t stop!
October! I love the cards and I thought the picture of the couple was one of those clip art pictures not the real couple, they are gorgeous!
October PLEASE. My September is SUPER busy! !!!
I am just so grateful to hear you are running another colour challenge that I don’t care when it is! Either month is suitable for me. You ROCK Kathy 🙂
September. Cos that’s sooner and I can’t wait. Also October is Halloweeny month. I mean, that would be OK, but it would have to be all purple and green and orange. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha. Always busy for Halloweeny. Hugz
I think October would be best. In September Mothers are getting their children off to their new school year and are more busy, perhaps, than in October. Soooo, I vote October.
I think I voted on IG but I’m happy with either! Love your card – looking forward to another challenge – including the little pop up challenge in August. xx
My vote: Either is fine with me. Middle of months best as I will be gone end of Sept first of Oct.
Cute card!
Both work for me.
I vote for October. I turn 59 mid-October and this would be a fun way to enjoy my birthday
I vote october
Gorgeous card. I vote October.
I will be around either month because I just retired!! I vote September and October.
Lovely wedding card. I vote for October, but September works for me too. Thanks for asking us.
Either works for me!
I think October is perfect Kathy , can’t wait
Kathy you have really mastered the Zigs! Your tags are gorgeous! The Ton really have beautiful flower stamps. I would love to win one. Thanks for the chance to win!
September for me.
Fantastic colouring Kathy! I’m so pleased to hear that you are not letting the worthless ‘thumbs down’ people get to you . . . good for you! It really saddens me when lovely people try to do something good to help others and they are shot down by ignorant people! Beautiful stamps sets that are on my wishlist . . . a loooong list, I can tell you 😉 Have a lovely evening! Hazel xx
I love how you colored the blooms…and your tags are so pretty! Thanks so much for the video and for the link to Jenn’s blog 🙂
I like September, because I don’t like waiting, but in truth mid-September or October is better for me. Whenever you schedule it though, I will work it out. I enjoy the challenges.
September now isn’t good so glad it’s October!
WOW I am so glad I found you on pinterest! I log your designs ands the bright vivid colors! Please enter me in the free stamp give away! Thanks

Hi Kathy! Lovely wedding photo! I don’t have any Stamping Bella yet, the emails were too frequent and I unsubscribed, but they call my name like so many other stamps and dies. LOL Great Cards and yes, I love both ways. My initial thought, is October, but I could go either way. We all really need to be starting on Christmas, RIGHT NOW. But I’m trying to close my aviary and saying goodbye to the maintenance is easy, to the birds I have hand raised and the deep love of their mutations and genetics, not easy. Their colors as amazing as copics. LOL Please do what is best for you.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!! Its so colorful its people like U that we learn from with your great
ideas . Especially with step by step with your ways of doing things that we learn
september is much better!! gotta love a 5 week month!!
