Day 6 & 7 More Coloring

Hello Friends, Greetings from Arizona! The land of the saguaro! I am so obsessed with them.  My friends movers came today and so did Verizon and unfortunately their cell service is really bad even after Verizon came! UGH! . We had to do a late night run to a Safeway just so I could post this blog post and post my coloring for the day.

This photo was taken from my  friends back yard! LOVE!

This beautiful  stamp is from Brutus Monroe. Isn’t it fantastic? So just a tad more grumbling lol. Uploading these photos  has been very frustrating so I am going to say chow and  hopefully tomorrow I have better luck. Thanks for your patience!

See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    I wondered where you had got to Kathy with Day 6 post – realize how spoilt we are with internet connections….. lovely that you are able to help your friends move…and wow what a backyard scene, definitely no neighbours, just prickly statues.. NOW your card is AMAZING, I love this stamp and your beautiful bright colours and that sentiment seems really appropriate for this occasion…. more happy colouring and hope your friends settle well with their move. Robyn

    Dramatic landscapes and beautiful coloring make this post memorable in every way! Hope your friend’s move goes smoothly and that the internet doesn’t continue to give you as much trouble!

    YAY that your back. Bummer for your friend that the service stinks. At least your bright happy coloring is cheerful

  12. Kelly Schirmer says

    Oh WOW that is a gorgeous card, with such lovely floral images and color! That is a pretty sweet background in your photo, too 🙂 A little jealous of the cactus and warm weather you must be having when our first snow is due today!!

    Your card is absolutely gorgeous!! I love Brutus Monroe, wonderful company!! Your colors are spectacular!! I don’t know how you have time to color with scenery like that!!

    Hey Kathy, glad you’re enjoying AZ. By the looks of the photo, guessing your friends are in the Scottsdale or Fountain Hill’s area. I’m sorry you’re having such internet concerns, we have phone issues too at times. Your coloring is beautiful, I haven’t taken any photo’s yet of what I’m coloring, but I try to spend at least 10 minutes/day coloring of some kind. I’m glad you’re here in AZ!

  32. Bunny Dobbie says

    Ah here you are! I woke up to snow all over things here so your clouds and mountains were very welcome and what amazing light shining on your colouring! That is a stunning stamp and you’ve done it proud with your fabulous work. hugs!

  36. Becky Green says

    You know what, Kathy? I was out & about yesterday—Hobby Lobby…. LOL So, when I came home & looked at my e-mails, I noticed you hadn’t posted & meant to come & look, in-case I missed something…. AND I FORGOT! SO, I am GLAD you are posting yesterdays, today! LOL It all works out in the end! 😉 Your piece is GORGEOUS today! You give us SUCH INSPIRATION for our cards/ colored pieces to yet become cards! LOL Sometimes, I don’t know WHERE to begin, but you pull through for us! THANKS KATHY!!!! SAFE TRAVELS & ENJOY the sunshine!!! (Stay away from those cacti!) ;)<3

    The cactus scene is amazing and so is your card. My day 6 was posted but at the moment day 7 is not happening. Ahhh well, the night is young…….. Hope to get a bit of colouring done soon. Hugz

  40. Heather Innusa says

    Ok, first of all, that photo amazing!!! I’ve never been to Arizona but would love to visit – not in the summer haha!

    I love this card!! My coloring today was an older Brutus Monroe stamp set! I love their style!!

  44. Donna Oates says

    So sorry you’re experiencing internet problems during the challenge. How frustrating. But your coloring is gorgeous! As always. And your friends bCkyard is gorgeous!

  45. Mirella Rogan says

    Absolutely gorgeous! Both the photo and the coloured image! Hope you’re having a lot of fun between all the hard work a move means (I know what I’m talking about, I’ve just moved countries myself ;-))

  46. Susan G says

    I’m from Ohio, but I love the saguaro cacti in AZ. Your friend has an amazing view to enjoy every day. Your coloring talents and skills are, as always, the absolute best. The stamp you’re showcasing today just makes me feel happy, or upbeat. Beautiful. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I’m still working on the white gel pen dots. You make it look so easy. Love your results.

  49. Joan Kinnischtzke says

    Nothing like an interruption from the things we rely on day to day to remind us of all we grateful for – even when that thing is the internet! Thanks for the inspiration Kathy!

  50. Mischelle says

    Love the photo from AZ. Trying to find time to color everyday. Thanks for the encouragement

  51. Joyce says

    Hey Kathy, Thanks for another fun challenge. Just fyi it looks like the link it closed to add more coloring.

  52. Anne Sturgeon says

    Your friend is one lucky person! I love Arizona so much. The desert and mountains are so beautiful all times of the day. Love your coloring… this is really bright and beautiful. Almost a Russian feel or maybe Scandinavian, either way I love it. Hope you are squeezing some fun while helping with the move.

  55. Tracy says

    Hang in there friend , enjoy the journey . Your creativity has inspired thousands and we are so great full !

  56. Avra N Williams says

    I missed you yesterday but I completely understand – and your coloring was worth the wait!

  61. Nancy Stott says

    Thanks for your perseverance in getting this post up! Your coloring is beautiful – as is the scenery in AZ!

  62. Randi Marquez says

    Beautiful Card and coloring. I love Arizona, beautiful picture of the desert and cactus!

  70. Brenda Rohlfing Simpson says

    Truly mad skills, Kathy! Love the bright colors and the fine details. Great reminder that those fine details after stamping & coloring really matter! Glad you were able to get this posted and hope your connectivity issues are shortlived!

  72. Lee says

    Spectacular sky photo! And I love your card coloring. Enjoy your trip. Son is now roughing it in desert Nevada; no cell or internet. Un-thrilling but he’s up to it. I wouldn’t be!

  75. Julie Booker from NZ says

    What a gorgeous stamp and beautifully coloured.

    PS – love the pic of your friend’s backyard!

  76. Melissa Friedrich says

    Beautiful backyard scenery and LOVE all the vibrant colors on your colored card front! Wow, so gorgeous.

  79. Danielle Vincent says

    It’s funny how much we depend on the internet and the connection it gives us to others. Without it we certainly do feel lost.
    Love that beautiful photo you shared. What an amazing place.
    Thanks for trying to hard to share with us today. Another gorgeous colored creation!!
    Enjoy your time with your friend.

  80. Yulia Mulyukina says

    Just thinking how dependent we are on the Internet and cell service now. We take it for granted, and each interruption looks a nightmare! LOL
    The stamp and you coloring is gorgeous! I love all the doodling you made, Kathy! Absolutely different look!

  81. Joyce Boylan says

    Sometimes it’s nice to be off the grid! And what a wonderful place to be!
    I really love how your colors pop. For the first time I colored the nooks and crannies and I love it. Now, I admit I probably could’ve gone darker but I had already gone out of my comfort zone.

  83. Surekha Galagoda says

    Dear Kathy
    Oh my God the coloring is so beautiful. Love the vibrant colors and the details.You are one kind lady . Really appreciate your kindness. Hope your internet issue gets sorted soon. Love the pic too.
    I have a small question for you. I use Colleen watercolor Pencils for my coloring. I sharpened my pencils for the first time and by the time i finished it my hand is full of corns. Is it due to the poor quality of the pencils. What affordable brand do you recommend.
    May you and your family be blessed always

  84. MandaLJ says

    Such a beautiful colourful piece! Thanks for making all the effort to get it posted to share it with us!

  87. Henriëtte says

    Indeed a gorgeous image from Brutus Monroe.
    I love your use of bright colours and all the little things you added to this gorgeous image.
    Thanks for posting this despite of the bad internet connection, happy colouring and “see” you tomorrow.

  90. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    Wow, it looks like your friend was in for a thunderstorm! The clouds look so dark. It’s been a while since I went to AZ. I had an aunt & uncle who lived there & we went to visit them. My uncle passed away about 4 years ago or so & my aunt was put in a home a few years later. It was so cool to see AZ because it is so different from where I live.
    I have to say that I love this stamp so much! It is so cool! I clicked on the link so I could see what they had & of course, I loved a lot of them. Why does that always happen to me or does it happen to you too? I love how you colored this image & it is exactly the way I would have colored it. Great minds think alike, right?
    I’m able to post again. Sometimes it lets me post & sometimes it doesn’t. I am able to post on Facebook though. I just like being able to post on both sites. I just finished a Christmas or birthday gift for my sister who was born Dec. 16. I’m deciding which gift it will be for. I am going to post it here & on Facebook. I think she will love it!
    Thanks for another great post & have fun moving your friend. I’ll bet you will be glad to be home where there is WiFi.

  92. Annette Allen says

    wow loving all that amazing color… really pops with the desert background. LOL I love floral backgrounds they are always fun to color. Well done.. Totally love it.

    This card is absolutely lovely, such brillant colours and wonderful coloring! I actually once had this really impressive experience, when I was visiting a desert in California: When I drove in everything looked greyish and a bit boring. When I drove out then, the sun was there and it actually was already quite low, it was amazing, how wonderful the desert all of a sudden looked. Isn´t that strange how much light does with our senses?
    Kind regards from stempelfrida

  104. Tracy Moloney says

    COOL sight, it must be exciting to see these huge cacti in person!
    … as ALWAYS, LOVE your colouring, SO VIBRANT and the sentiment is a DELIGHT!
