Hello Friends, How are you? Please tell me you all are ok? My heart goes out to Vegas and everyone that has been effected by this shooting even tho it touches us all. Heart wrenching!
On a craft note …. It’s day 30 for real this time! Omg!! Thank you for your patience. This post took more time and I needed that extra time with a 80th BD weekend celebration for my mom. (she can spin circles around me)
I had really enjoyed viewing all your creativity and reading how making time for yourself has been a positive experience for you like it is for me :). You all have been so kind and supportive of my 30 day coloring challenges and words can’t begin to express my gratitude. Thank YOU!
Also a big thanks to the Good Will Ambassadors for spreading love Tina, Dot, Jan, Rowena, Alexandra, Cathy, Lisa, Connie, Yoonsun, Christiane & many of you for being so active and supportive and encouraging in the FB group & at Instagram. I hope we were able to reach you and encourage you. Our community is the best and the most supportive people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Thanks to each of YOU for motivating me to do these challenges. (in the next week I hope to get to you all who shared on my blog) Also a big thanks to Patricia who helps me with FB & to Patti who helps me with giveaways!
Today I have three cards, a giveaway and some winners to announce. Lot’s to do … in a good way 🙂
I am so in love with Altenew’s stamp set called, “Framed” and it’s one of those must haves for me. My first card is a blank one (I can add a sentiment if need be later) . My other two cards are using the “Framed” stamp set as well but they have entirely different looks.
Using the frame on florals … really highlights the flowers and lets them shine. Using the stamp set called, “Blooming Bouquet” I love how the you can stamp the larger floral and pop it on top of your card for added dimension. The floral was colored with Tombow markers and the frame colored with copic markers.
Colored backgrounds can really take your cards to the next level and these four stamps below from Stamping Bella can make your life really easy (a new background is coming out any day for winter) I love how you can color the background, stamp a sentiment on the background and you are finished. OR you can add any critter or person to give your card extra personality. This is the sentiment I used from Simon Says Stamp.
It’s really true!!! I really do hope that you always find a reason to smile. The Stamping Bella packaging for this stamp was my jumping point to get me started with my coloring.
Sooo here is another option for you. Your can make your own background with some help from an ebook. I am so proud how mine turned out ……. following the instructions with a step by step guide I was able to feel successful.
During the last 30 day coloring challenge Zoe from Make It Crafty sent me two classes of my choosing. It was a tough choice and I selected the Coloring Skies E Book . I figured the easiest way was for me was to print out the instructions. This way I could pick up the ebook and take it with me when traveling or on the go and not be tied to my computer. Finally I had time to sit down and give it a try and I was so happy with the easy step by step instructions.
I can pop a critter or an image on top but, I like the simplicity of this with just a sentiment. Zoe from Make It Crafty set up a discount code from now until October 15th – offering 15% discount on all the ebooks (enter the code: thedailymarker at checkout and it will automatically deduct any ebooks in cart by 15%.) Yay! thank you Zoe!
GIVEAWAY!! A set of Altenew alcohol markers! LOVE them!! To qualify just say hi in the comment area and I will announce a winner sometime next week. (thank you Altenew!)
WINNERS!!! We have more winners! Yay!
Day 29 Giveaway!! A Concord & 9th yummy ice cream stamp and goodie bag.
Congrats to Amy Seigler !
Day 29 Giveaway: A stamp from Honey Bee plus a goodie bag.
Congrats to Betty (createdbybjk) !
All winners please email plintltd@verizon.net and put what you won in the subject line thank YOU & thank you all for entering.
In closing … The last day is always so bittersweet for me …it’s like when the holidays are over and you get that let down. I want to thank you each and everyone of you for making the challenge a super fun one. Your daily visits, the comments, the participation, the support etc. etc. T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. from the bottom of my heart 🙂
AND … just so you know… you can continue to play along for the next few days so we can separate slowly. Thanks again and again for everything! Big ole’ hugs and lots of love to you all, Kathy xoo

Hi!
I’m sad I just found you today… I’m an avid learner and have found your tutorials on coloring to be very helpful in developing my skills.
I can’t wait to join in the next challenge!
Hi!
Beautiful projects and so inspiring as always.
Your bouquet looks amazing, Kathy, and I can see why you are so happy with the way your pretty landscapes turned out. Last weekend, I coloured along with a free video turorial on YouTube by Alyce of Kit and Clowder and I was thrilled to see the results. It may not be perfect but it did look great for a first attempt.
Thanks for another 30days of colouring and congrats to the winners.

Dear Kathy,
Your last cards of this challenge are just as gorgeous as the first one’s. The sentiment is just the right one but I would say: You give me always a reason to smile, with your beautiful art.
Thanks for 30 days (or a little more) of inspiration, ideas, tips and tricks, and all the effort you went through despire your very busy life. Thank you especially for making me realize you can find the time each day, even if it’s only 5 to 10 minutes, to color. I am already looking forward to the next 30 days Color Challenge.
A big hug from me, Henriëtte.
Thank you Kathy for this coloring month! My heart goes to Vegas as well. Life is so short… I pray they get back quickly on their feet.

Great cards, as always. I have been coloring along with you all month. I am making cards to donate to a Ronald McDonald House (where my daughter stayed when my granddaughter was in the hospital).

Love these cards! The Framed bundle from Altenew is totally awesome! I am definitely checking out the ebooks classes! Thanks for the heads up!
I would probably be jumping up and down (in my mind since I STILL have double pneumonia) if I was to win the Altenew Markers! I have been drooling over them since they first came out!fingers crossed and thanks for a chance to win them!
HI! Haven’t tried alcohol markers yet. these would b efuN!
HI! I love the framed set and backgrounds you made!
Thanks so much for hosting this challenge. I haven’t colored every day but I have followed along on Insta every day and had tons of inspiration. Thanks again!!
Beautiful! Totally beautiful!
Hi and thank YOU for the challenge and for everything you do for all of us.
Beautiful cards!!! I thought they were framed pictures at first glance. Would love to try alcohol markers. Just wondering … if they smell like alcohol too. As long as they don’t make me woozy or I’ll want to dance instead of color. Ha! Ha!
Hello Kathy,
The cards are beautiful. I would also like to thank, you and all the ambassadors, for hosting this amazing coloring challenge. I participated in the daily marker for the first time on IG, and was amazed at how my coloring skills improved each and every day. All the love and support shared was an added cherry on top. I challenged myself to color a new flower everyday, and the finished piece made me happy. Thank you so much for helping me revert to coloring. The daily marker is an amazing concept and a great way to improve and learn , with the help of such an amazing community.
Those skies are gorgeous! Love the framing of them. Thanks for the giveaway — I’ve been wanting to try the Altenew markers. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you for all you do for this card making community!

Hi Kathy, and thank you! You inspired me to colour all through September! Your colouring is something to aspire to. 🙂
Hi Kathy, thanks so much for all the awesome inspiration you have sent out this month. I have been coloring most days but not posting as illness here at home so just coloring when I get a few extra minutes. It really does help the mind!! : )
Hi. I didn’t link up to this 30 day challenge but did manage to pull some markers out and found some time to play with some never before used stuff.
Hi! 🙂 love all your work! 🙂
Hi!
Hi Kathy! Barb from Massachusetts saying hi and thank you for all the coloring inspiration!
Hi! Beautiful cards!
I always love your 30 day coloring challenges, even if I don’t participate. Thanks for all the inspiration you give us out here. 😀
I think that the frames are fantastic, they really set off your coloring and draw the eye into your focal image. I have a really hard time linking anything up but have enjoyed all of your challenges and seeing everyone’s creations. It’s also a great reminder to take time for myself and do what I enjoy! Thanks for the inspiration.
Oooh! I love the colouring, of everything, but especially that frame with the pink flowers! So gorgeous!
I love your work and how kind you are, you’re such an inspiration ❤
Kathy, those grassy hills are so beautiful, and, a always, I love your flowers ☺
Hi!! I totally love your coloring on your cards!! Will definitely have to check out the e-book—I’d love to be able to color like that. I so love your coloring challenges and appreciate your hard work you have to do!! Thank you, too, to your good will ambassadors—all are so kind and encouraging!! Hugs!
These are gorgeous creations Kathy! They look so real due to your great coloring. Although I’ve not had time to join in the 30 day challenge myself, it’s been fun seeing what you’ve made 🙂
Hi !
Thank you for the 30 days of learning. Ur cards are so beautiful.
Hello from Alaska!
Aww Kathy! Thank you so much for another wonderful “30 days..” I enjoyed this challenge so much, not always coloring but always being inspired and touched by your kindness and of other fellow crafters. Thank you!
Gorgeous cards Kathy, I love the framed “Blooming Bouquet”, you coloured it so beautifully, flowers are my favourite type of image to colour and I agree the Altenew’s ‘Framed’ stamp set is a must have!!!
I also need to check out the background stamps from Stamping Bella, your backgrounds are fantastic and I also like the idea of printed out instructions, how awesome is that!
I am so sorry I didn’t get to meet you when you came to Ontario, I was signed up for both days too, so disappointing, but I did watch the live Facebook feed, I hope you got my email.
HI Kathy! Thank goodness no one I knew was hurt in Las Vegas – such a tragedy that sickened me. I feel so sad for those who were directly affected by it. That and all the suffering from the natural disasters; one can really become depressed! At least I have coloring and crafting to distract my mind even for a brief moment.
Happy birthday to your mother! And never apologize for celebrating such a treasure; we understand! Just as you do us when we can’t color for a day or two 🙂
Many thanks for everything you do!
PS – Your cards are gorgeous!
Wow, Kathy, when I first looked at those cards I thought you had put them in metallic frames and the light from your camera was glinting off them. So amazing . Maybe someday you could teach us that in a video.
A big thanks to you and your team of helpers for yet another fantastic Coloring Challenge. You deserve a Spa Day to recharge!
Hi! Simply stunning cards!
Hi- It’s been a great 30 day challenge!
Thank you for doing the 30 day coloring challenge. I love all the things you color and I eagerly checked to see what you did each day.
I already learned a lot from your lessons! Thank you! And also Thanks for a chance to get the markers. Never tried them.
Hi, Kathy! Thanks for all your hard work!
Congrats winners!!!! Post your designs please! Thanks Kathy for another 30 days of successful coloring. I hope I can keep it going this time!! Lol.

Hi! What a great way to go out with a bang! That backgrounds remind me of the hay field at my aunt’s. The skies are FABULOUS!!
Congratulations to the winners! I saw those background stamps and thought what a help they would be to make little scenes for critters! Love your skies!
Hi! Thank you for another month of awesome inspiration! I did plenty of colouring, just didn’t have a chance to showcase as I was focusing on sharing my niece and nephew’s talents. They loved the positive feedback they received! Looking forward to the next challenge!
~carol

Love your flowers. Could look at them all day! Thank you for posting.
Hi from California and congrats to the winners! Thank for an awesome month of beautiful coloring projects Kathy…you always inspire!
Hi Kathy!
I tried once to do the 30 Day coloring challenge but got sidetracked and never tried again. I love to color and I don’t know why I haven’t ever tried again. The next one I am going to participate. They you for being there with your challenges to remind people like me that coloring is very relaxing. Now I’m excited and can’t wait until the next one.
I love these! So adding the frames to my wish list!
Hi Kathy, your cards are beautiful as always. Thank you so much for sharing your creative talents and kindness. Thank you for the 30 day colouring challenges. Thank you for being such an inspiration and for adding positivity and kindness to a world that often sadly is the opposite. You truly make an amazing difference to my days/my world. Your energy, enthusiasm and talents makes me smile and encourages me to take time for me to be creative everyday. Thank you Kathy – I truly admire and appreciate you!
I just found this site and am having fun looking at all of the cards and creations! Can’t wait to try a 30 day challenge!
Beautiful cards!
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to play along much this time, but I’ll be looking forward to your next 30 days!!
I wasn’t able to follow every day but I sure enjoyed what I saw! These cards are lovely. I really love the frames and would love to learn how you made them. The pics make them look metallic but it also looks like you colored them. Beautiful!
Awesome projects, thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you so much for the Wonderful giveaway Prize. I received my Concord & 9th Stamp set and goodie bag. It was such a Wonderful surprise to see all of the goodies in the goodie bag. I just wanted to be sure to Say Thank You once again! Your work is so beautiful and amazes me. I really do enjoy your 30 day color challenges.
