Hello Friends, How are you? Are you excited to hear what this Pop Up Challenge is all about? I thought it might be fun to do a PRE Pop Up Challenge Day even thought the challenge starts on Friday. It’s a short and sweet challenge so why not right?
Today I will tell you what the challenge is all about and share 2 videos. If you want to read more about the Pop Up Challenge click here in case you missed what a Pop Up is.
LINES …. Yup Lines!! The challenge is all about lines. Thin, thick, stamped, embossed, hand drawn and doodled. Anything goes with a line on it and if you want to just play along and color well that’s A-Ok too.
AND just to prove that ANYONE can draw lines here is a video below (an unedited one) My nephew, Ryan, who I adore came by so I thought hey…. why not ask him to draw some lines.
In this video I talk more about the challenge and about ways to add lines to your cards. I decided to keep this video raw and uncut. There is a small portion where my dog Max is protecting us (barking) and my nephew is talking loud. You all have voiced how you like the uncut videos so here goes. 🙂
If you want to watch the video larger or in HD click here.
This is one of the line drawings that Ryan drew in the video after I colored it and added the tiny “eyelash” lines. Usually I would thicken up the lines that he drew but, wanted to show you a different option. The one below I thickened them up and you will see how easy that is in tomorrow’s video.
I hope you like the theme of this challenge and if you don’t…. you might as we get more into it. Thanks for your visit and see you tomorrow with another video and a sweet giveaway. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. ON Friday I will have the InLinkz tool for you to share you art on my blog . On Instagram use this hashtag please #TheDailyMarkerPopUpChallenge . If you add some pop corn to your photos you can win a goodie bag. 🙂

what to do with those smudges
This is awesome. Keep them coming! I may be able to finish the pop up ones because they have a smaller time frame 😀
LInes you say? This is one subject that’s challenging for me, so great opportunity to jump in and see what happens!? 🙂 Looking forward to it!
I can do lines! Woohoo!
Such fun!
Wooo hooo! Jo x
Love your idea! It will be a challenge, but I’ve already been inspired by your video! I think it was really cool to have your nephew help. It helped us really get that you can get your lines in a lot of different ways.
Lines I can do, but I think I’ll let my mate do them. This should be fun.
Such a fun theme, Kathy! ♥
I love this technique, but have heard it referred to as etching. Eyelashes sounds cuter 😉
I’m not sure how to add the popcorn to my photo on my iPad so will have to wait to do that later.
Fun pre- pop up challenge!
This is great–I hope I get a chance to do this today, just heading off to work, we shall see if I can do it this evening. Looking forward to seeing what the weekend challenge is–we are in the midst of heat warnings here, so great time to stay in and color!
Omg love it, love the theme, and love your nephew hahahaha.
Looks fun Kathy.
This looks like a lot of fun, Kathy. As you may recall, I have already been trying lines using your tape roll circles as inspiration. I’m hoping I can find a little time to craft this weekend and have a play with my Micron pens. Short and sweet pop-up challenges sound great right now, because we will have some difficult months ahead of us. Although my husband’s surgery went well, he will need additional chemo therapy, which will start next Tuesday. We’re optimistic, though, that everything will be ok in the end.

Eeeeeeek!!!! So can I start and post tonight?!?!?! I lalalalove me some popcorn!!!! Thank you for this amazing opportunity to meet more crafty souls and push myself outside my comfort zone! Thank you again and I can’t wait.
This is wayyyyy out of my comfort zone but I’m going to give it a shot!
Cool!
Ohhhhh!!!! So love the theme of this challenge!
Awesome Topic for the Pop Up Challenge! Way to get us to doodle 🙂 So love the raw video and that your nephew is a grown up young man. How cute for him to participate!
Lines??? It sounds easy enough….I think, LoL…..Sounds like fun!
I’m so glad you did this video because I knew there was something different about your lines but didn’t realise there were eyelashes on them. Its such a cool effect, need to get some fine-tip pens to try it out!! Thanks for sharing this!
great fun..must try this!
This is awesome!! Have never down anything like this before 🙂 that’s one of the things I’m so happy about. Because of you and all that you do, I get to challenge my self in trying new things 🙂 love it
I have some multifaceted stamps that have ‘lines’ running every which way…and oh, do they need some love! I’m going to be colouring one or two up for this challenge – more opportunity to practice using my Chameleon pens!
Your videos are fabulous!

Lines….hmmm I think I can handle that! your cards turned out beautiful!
Lines sound fun… I think. ;I
Love the technique! I am going to take your idea and next time my grandson visit, I am going to give him some paper to draw lines. He loves to draw…..he is only 17 months old. We already have a play, he do some lines and I tried to draw an animal or something. He find it fun. Maybe I finish with something great!
What is that my comment is awaiting moderation?
I didn’t think lines were my thing but I’m glad I tried it. Your nephew cracked me up in the video.
For the next Pop Up, maybe we could use a charm.
Thanks for challenging us and for the chance to win.
Another great challenge Kathy! This one pushed me beyond my normal boundaries, so I thank you for that!
Love the “Friend” die. What a spectacular card using lines as the feature point.
Making lines with you is going to be SO MUCH FUN 🙂
This looks really fun. I’m just getting into coloring and I think this will be a great way for me to get started. Thanks
I love how you coloured your lines, and love your nephew too!
Wahoo! Awesome, Kathy. Thank you for inspiring us again.
Hi Kathy, Thank you for the inspiration 🙂 I’m only a beginner but I’m loving challenges and learning new techniques. I took a doodle course many moons ago and the instructor loved having everyone doodle and color lines it was pretty fun! I’m looking forward to your next postings.. Hugs, Trina Flynn
Sounds like fun!
