Hello Friends, Happy Saturday! Today is the day I get to share my announcement. I am soo dang excited and honored that Simon Says Stamp asked me to bring The Coloring Challenge Road Trip to Simon Says Create!! Woo Hoo
Sooo many of you guessed it right!!
What: The Coloring Challenge Road Trip at Simon Says Create
When: Friday, March 15th from 1-5 PM ET
Where: Simon Says Create / Nationwide Conference Center
in Columbus Ohio
I realize this might cause some confusion. The Simon event is sold out. The Road Trip is a separate thing. It’s only $45.00 and it’s a half day event. I will be doing what I normally do during my Road Trips. The best part is the people that come to see me will have access to all the make and takes, the Simon store and be able to meet up with everyone before or after all the classes.
*If you are attending the event and are available Friday 1-5 you can attend if you purchase a ticket .
TO REGISTER a pre-registration payment of $45.00 is required. CLICK HERE to sign up. Questions? You can read Simon Says Stamp blog post here.
I would love to hear if you are able to sign up for The Road Trip (insert prayer hands). Super exited that I might meet some of you or see some of you again. Wooo Hoooo!! Tell me in the comment area if you signed up. Thank YOU!
Just a quick share for today. I wanted to paint something with a different color combination. This beautiful magnolia is from Avery Elle.
What do you think about the grass green accents on the tops of the petals? Hummmm … not to sure lol but, I had fun playing.
This is how it was coming along as I was adding brown to some of the petals.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

D.Ann C says
Congrats! That’ll certainly add to all the fun at SSCreate! Love seeing realistic plants in unusual colors like this… how cool would it be to see a magnolia that color IRL?!!!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, DAnn! I am so glad you like “out-of-the-box” color choices too 🙂
Becky Green says
DAH!!! SOMETIMES, I think too hard! LOL The SSS Create Event sounds like SO MUCH FUN, Kathy!!! BE SURE to let us know how it went??? Your piece looks WONDERFUL! I think the green is FINE! Some flowers have that tinge of green, when they are white. 😉 SAFE TRAVELS to Columbus & while you are there! Not to mention, LOTS OF INKY FUN!!!! Inky Hugs!
Kathy Racoosin says
Becky, we are all guilty of over-thinking sometimes. I am happy that you like my emerging flower and I thank you for the fun/safe travel wishes! Inky hugs back at you, my friend 🙂
Beth says
Kathy,
The green on the Magnolia is beautiful. Such a fresh spring like color.
I see the stamp is out of stock at SS. Happens every time I see a new idea.
Kathy Racoosin says
Beth, I am really glad you like my green magnolia blossom! And I feel your frustration re: seeing a new idea and not being able to purchase the item right away. Don’t forget to click on the button so that you are notified when it is back in stock 🙂
Henriëtte says
Ohh, I had it wrong because I thought you meant leaving to somewhere in a few days.
Doesn’t matter, I hope everyone had a big fun craft time on that awesome event.
I hope you keep us informed.
Your flower is great, I love the yellow and bright green, only don’t understand the 2
blue-ish leaves. I think they make the green pop more than it should. I hope you understand what I mean, sometimes it’s difficult to write in another language.
Thank you for your post and see you tomorrow, have a great weekend.
Kathy Racoosin says
Henriette, I promise to keep you all informed! I always appreciate your kind words and I find your ability to express yourself well in English remarkable 🙂
Cheryl L says
I’ll be at the Road Trip! Looking forward to seeing you again!
Kathy Racoosin says
Woohoo, Cheryl! I am looking forward to seeing you too 🙂
Tracy Lustick says
I was hoping to win a ticket to the event but sadly it looks like I won’t be attending. Have a great time everyone !
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, Tracy! I will try to keep everyone updated here on my blog since most people are not able to attend 🙂
AnotherLee says
Your colors are just beautiful together. Love them. Very soft and gorgeous.
Kathy Racoosin says
You leave the sweetest comments, Lee! I appreciate your kindness so much 🙂
Teresa Doyle says
Your painting looks so cool Kathy, like ALL that you do… its lovely!
No, I am not signed up for either however, I am committed to going on my first flight/trip ever in the spring with my husband & family for our 40th wedding Anniversary. Please pray for me that my anxiety doesn’t get the better of me first. Haha
Enjoy SSCreate AND your “Road Trip”!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you so much, Teresa! I am sending you well wishes for a fabulous 40th anniversary trip. When I feel anxious, I try to take something I enjoy with me like a puzzle book, a book to read, or (usually) something to color lol. Congratulations to you both 🙂
Virginia Palmer says
I’ll be there – can’t wait!
Kathy Racoosin says
I can’t wait either, Virginia! See you soon and safe travels 🙂
Amanda Fitterer says
I totally signed up, and I’m super pumped!….. but to be honest, I’m not quite sure what to expect! I’ve never been to one of your Road Trips and I don’t know what to bring or what will be going on. Can anyone give me the 411? Thanks so Much!!
Kathy Racoosin says
Amanda, I can’t wait to see you! Bring stamped images to color or a project to work on. Color pluck two handfuls of markers (choose colors that are out of your comfort zone/do not usually use). Dark colored pencils and a pencil sharpener. Watercolor paints are a handful of watercolors. Paint brush and cup if you want to watercolor. Safe travels 🙂
Pam says
This card……mm mm good!
Kathy Racoosin says
Oh, Pam, you are so kind! Thank you for the smile 🙂
Maureen Reiss says
Wow!! Thats gorgeous!!! I wish I could be there!!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks, Maureen! You will be there in spirit…I will try to keep you all updated through my blog posts 🙂
Avra N Williams says
I registered this morning! See you in a month!
Kathy Racoosin says
Woohoo, Avra! I am so excited! Safe travels 🙂
Gab says
Yay! I guessed right! How fun!! I wish I could be there … one day!
Love your flower!
Kathy Racoosin says
Congrats, Gab! I hope you are able to attend Create one day too. Thank you for leaving such a sweet and fun comment 🙂
Olga Dendrinou Fink says
Congratulations Kathy! Maybe one day I will be able to attend one of the road trips your coloring is inspiring as always!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, Olga! I really hope to meet you in person one day too. I appreciate your kindness so much 🙂
Julissa Padilla says
My crafty friends and I are anxiously awaiting to find out your dates in NY… so looking forward to your road trip!!!
Kathy Racoosin says
Oh, Julissa, that is so sweet! Thanks for the smile 🙂
Hetty Sanders says
Beautiful coloring.
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, Hetty!
Gail Plaskiewicz says
Would I love to go to where you will be & color all day? Oh, you betcha! Can I afford to go? No. Can I leave my mom who I am caregiving so I could go even if I could afford to go? No. Darn it anyway, I would love to go! Oh well, maybe you will come to CT & I can go then. That would be so much fun!
I love your magnolia but I would not have thought it was that. What it looks like, especially since you used the green, is some kind of cactus I’ve seen. No matter what that is, I like it! Are you going to do more with it? I’d like to see it all finished if you do finish it. I like the green!
Kathy Racoosin says
It would be nice to meet you one day if I ever get to CT, Gail. Thank you for your kind words regarding my magnolia blossom; you are so thoughtful 🙂
Monia Lisa says
WOW! This is Amazing!!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, Monia Lisa! Your sweet comment made my day 🙂
Beverly Hills Jordan says
What a delight everyone will have getting to play at
#SSS and meeting you! Hope you have a wonderful time!
Kathy Racoosin says
Awww, you are the sweetest! I will try to keep you all updated through my blog posts 🙂
Tracey Magner says
Hi, I am hoping to go, I was signed up and was supposed to go when you were here in Florida, I was sooooo EXCITED BUT then of course the day we were suppose to leave my husband was extremely sick we didn’t know at the time but he had been exposed to black mold the day before, anyways he felt SO BAD because he knew how excited I was and he actually was excited about going, he really supports my card making. So when he seen a card from an SSS order I had made he said he would take me there to make up for it, but I said I would pass on that BUT now I see your email, this I might be up for, it’s 4.00 am so when he gets up we will talk 🙂
Kathy Racoosin says
Tracey, it would be so awesome! Your hubby sounds amazingly supportive. Hugs, Kathy 🙂
Tara Salladay says
Just signed up!! I’m so excited to do this! Thank you so much for hosting!
