Hello friends and my dear color enthusiasts. July 5th is right around the corner for the 5th Coloring Challenge. ”The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” I am thrilled that these challenges have inspired you to add color to your day. But most of all that you are finding time for you. If you are new to the coloring challenges a very warm welcome to you and so happy you are here. 🙂
In a nut shell this video might answer some of your questions if you are new to the challenge. (I wish I had a big “Play” button on my face all the time 🙂 )
THE GOAL IS: To color something daily even if it’s a few minutes but, certainly not required. (I know that I am happier when I am coloring even if it’s for 10 minutes.) Hopefully together along the way we will all stretch our creativity a little bit more. BASICALLY it’s any thing goes challenge and whatever you feel inspired to do.
CAN YOU PARTICIPATE IN MY 30 DAY CHALLENGE? Wow that would be awesome if you want to participate & feel free to jump in at any time during the challenge! Everyone is welcome! If you miss a few days don’t feel like you have to catch up.
COLOR DAILY? WHAT! The idea is to color something daily even if it’s for five minutes WITH ANY MEDIUM. Just five minutes that’s it. Some days you will have more time and that’s even better. It’s just about adding more time to color and carve out a little time for something that makes you happy.
THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO SHARE: You can share your work where you are most comfortable like Facebook, Instagram, Flicker and your Blog etc. If you use this hashtag #thedailymarker30day I can usually find your work.
OR…. you can link with the Inlinkz tool on Day One on my blog. (Instagram is the easiest for me to comment on your art work.)
I would love it if you would consider using the graphic below.
ANY QUESTIONS: If you have a question please leave a comment on my blog and I will answer the question in the comment area. I try to get to your questions in a timely fashion but posting daily can get in the way. I always appreciate your kind words and enthusiasm & it’s what motivates me to continue these coloring challenges.
WILL THERE BE GIVEAWAYS? YES! There will be a variety of giveaways throughout the challenge. 🙂
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ME: I will be posting on my blog daily and on Instagram daily. Most days I will just color an image & some days I might make a one layer card something I am working on is more complex I will come back to it the next day. There will also be unedited videos and videos.
I hope you are as excited as I am and I am beyond thrilled that you might consider playing along. (as I mentioned feel free to jump in and out of the 30 days if that is what words best for you).
See you February FIFTH !! Super excited to be wowed by you all. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. If you subscribe to my videos you will be the first to see videos before they are posted.

I just caught your crafty chat with online card classes. It was so fun and I had to come over and tell you how much I enjoyed it. 🙂
Awww that’s so sweet thank YOU for making my day 🙂
You’re welcome! As someone who spends a lot of time working from home and not receiving nearly enough girl time, it’s so nice to feel like I was hanging out with you fun ladies. Hope you have an awesome weekend! 🙂
Looking forward to colour along again, Kathy.
I’ve been very busy with stamping this past month (as you can see on my blog) and enjoyed every minute, but it will be fun to also do some colouring this month.
Love these crafty chats at OCC, but haven’t watched the one with you yet. Watched Julie last weekend and that was great fun!
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend!

I am hoping to get into this challenge this go around … I’ve only watched the last 3 challenges. I am totally a newbie at coloring, so if I post anything, laugh WITH me not at me! 🙂 And I may only be able to color for 10 minutes some days as I work full time at different hours every day. But I’m excited to participate in any way I can. Happy 4th to everyone!!
