Hi friends. Welcome to DAY SIX of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. A few weeks ago, my sweet friend Jennifer McGuire asked for help in collecting cards for an amazing cause…
Lasting Hearts is such a wonderful cause and I got emotion in the video. It’s still uploading right not lol but, I will update this post as soon as it finishes.
I made 14 of these and enjoyed adding lots of little details.
Lasting Hearts is here to comfort mothers who have lost a child. Our friend Kimberly has experienced this pain and has found comfort with the book, “You are the Mothers of all Mothers” by Angela Miller. Kimberly is hoping to have copies of this helpful book along with handmade cards available for doctors to give to parents who have lost their babies. This is an amazing idea and we can help!
There are two ways that you can participate. One way is to Donate money HERE. Every dollar donated will be put towards the purchasing of these special books to be passed out to parents who have lost a child via miscarriage. Another way to help is to create a card for the Lasting Hearts Card Drive. All the details are HERE on Jennifer’s blog. If you do make a card before 2/29, you will be entered in a prize drawing from Hero Arts for a chance to win $100 in products!
Also, Simon Says Stamp and Hero Arts are teaming up to help this cause and are bringing back THIS stamp set…
This was a limited edition stamp set that was sold out in September. They have brought it back and are donating 25% of the proceeds to this cause. Isn’t that awesome!?
I hope you will consider helping in any way you feel comfortable. Let’s share some kindness!
See you tomorrow to share what others are creating. Happy weekend! Hugs, Kathy
P.S. Go HERE to read more about the 30 Day Coloring Challenge and here if you want to see how I prepared. If you want to share what your creating go to DAY 1 and scroll to the bottom of the post. You will find a blue Inlinkz tab to link up your coloring.

Day 24. Mermaid & a Giveaway!
Day 16. No Line Coloring Quick Video
So lovely! ♥
Thanks so much for the reminder. I started two cards, but need to tweak one of them and make some more. I got de-railed making valentines for my family and with the grand-kiddos, plus a birthday and baptism in the family. I will definitely make a push to get some more made this week. (Even if they don’t look as good as yours!)
Great card as well as cause. Love the colors.
Beautiful cards for a wonderful cause. Lovely xx
I’m amazed how much wow you get with a white jelly roll.It gives so much to a card.My cards that I sent in were bouquets with this die and sentiment set.I got mine from SSS.I love it.Thank you Kathy for inspiring another day of beauty.Blessings.
Gorgeous!
It is a great cause. Thanks for the reminder and the beautiful card you designed!
I think you came up with a new word – splooched! – I love it! 🙂 Awesome cards for such an incredible cause. See you tomorrow!
This is a beautiful card, Kathy. As always, your added detail to the stamped image make it unique and add so much more interest. I can’t find the Avery Elle stamp set you used, so when you know the name of the set please post it for us. I’ll keep watching for their newest release for it. Cheers!
The stamp is Floral Frame ST-1613 from Avery Elle. I didn’t see it yet on their website.Thanks for watching. Color your world. 🙂
Your card is lovely.
Hi Sue here, this is such a wonderful idea, at a desperate time for anyone, to offer them a small comfort from a stranger. I have sent off a few cards already but will continue to do more. Although postage from Wales in UK can be a bit steep! Still I’m enjoying the thought that I am a part of something big and I only spend my pension on my crafting anyway! xx
Your card is stunning! I am already working on getting a box of cards out for this sad yet much needed card drive. Thanks for the reminder about when cards are due!
Thank you…..I also created cards for this wonderful card drive…. It touched my heart….your cards are beautiful <3
Beautiful card! I love the white dots too! Just watched your video and it’s great!
Your card is gorgeous, Kathy, and so perfect for the card drive!
Beautiful–I intend to make some cards, just tried to purchase that stamp set yesterday, it is again sold out! Hopefully I’ll get them made before the end of the month, it is definitely on the “list”–but I’m also working on a ton of other projects. Congrats to your son–my son is same age, still living at home, has graduated from college, has full time job and has been saving up to move out in the next few months. So cool that you cooked for him, I’m sure he and his friends loved it! Thanks for all you do.
What sweet cards and nice cause. I don’t blame you for getting emotional….
Today is my first comment since your coloring challenge began; however, I have gone through every post now. You are so talented and generous with your time. Thank you.
That is really beautiful cards! I also love my white gel pen!
Beautiful coloring and great cause.
Thank you Kathy this is a beautiful card and it is a very worthy cause for sure. Love the flower stamp I will have to watch for when it comes out. I have some to choose from and hopefully I can get the time to get mine stamped up and color on the fly. lol For the prayers set it is in the reserve state but I’ve had it reserved and just waiting. Thanks again and can’t wait to see tomorrows post oh yeah and winners keeping fingers crossed for watercolor class lol.
I just received my Prayers stamp set in the mail today 🙂 What a coincidence! Great cause and know I will enjoy coloring and creating along with our challenge peeps 🙂
These really are very pretty Kathy and I love the soft colours you used vs. stark white. (As much as I like a bright white, I think these ARE more appropriate for such an occasion!)
Oh, that’s a really great cause, I’ll point a mom to it that will appreciate it.
I also love your card. I have to try this foam mounting finally, too, maybe for day 7.
Wow, You made 14 cards !
You and your cards are amazing!
They will take comport from your cards.
Thank you for sharing!
A very worthy cause, for sure. I’m fortunate to have not had to go through that. On another note, can I just say I think it says a lot about you (and your son) that he wanted you to be part of such a momentous milestone, as well has having his friends come over to hang out with you, too. It would make a great scrapbook page.
WOW Kathy your cards are absolutely stunning! That floral stamp is gorgeous!!! I love that you added all that extra detail with your white pen! It really does make the image come to life. The women who will receive these cards will be touched. I appreciate you that you took the time out of your busy life to stop and create these cards for complete strangers during their hour of need. It amazes me that there are still GREAT people in this world. May God bless you and continue to keep you working through Him to help others during their fallen times.
Hugs,
Jo

Simply wonderful cards!!
Beautiful cards, and for such a good cause. I feel emotional about this topic too. I have not been through it so I can only imagine the heartache these families go through. I’m getting ready to do my Day 6 colouring now. So far I’m 5 for 5! Thanks for the inspiration and kinds words!
Wonderful cards for a great cause. Love the toned-down colours of your cards and your soft-coloured cardstock. It’s also nice to see that you don’t always need to use colour blending to achieve great results, esp. with some added white dots lol.

I’m on the list foe the stamp. Your cards are beautiful as usual.
Hello – I am a brand new follower. I started on the first of the 30 day challenge.
I have enjoyed your videos and beautiful cards. I want to make some cards for
this very sad time in a woman’s life. Unfortunately my stamp set has not yet arrived.
If we get the stamps late can we still send them in?
You are a beautiful person……..
Yes, You can send cards after 2/29 but you won’t be eligible for the giveaway. Thank you for joining the 30 day color chalenge. I am thrilled you found me. Thank you for your kind words. Always remember to take time for you. 🙂
Kathy, this is a Beautiful card! I actually ordered this stamp set yesterday and I’m looking forward to getting it in. Having a miscarriage is really a difficult thing to go thru, I know from experience and what a Wonderful cause this supports. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. I do plan on making some cards to send to them as well.
Wow, wow, wow!! This is stunning!! I need to order this stamp!!
This is a great cause! I’ve already made some cards for it.
Your cards are lovely and for an incredibly worthy cause. It’s a beautiful thoughtful post today.
Thank you for making me aware of this drive.
DELIGHTFUL cards and such a wonderful cause!!!
I am currently working on some sympathy cards and think I can tweek the design to suit.
THANK YOU for sharing your tutorial and timely reminder Kathy … I confess that I am working with white-on-white but think I will be changing my ideas for next time after you pointed out the softer look with your cards, it really would make them feel like a comforting hug.
PS – you really are a COOL Mum 🙂
I was just thinking that I had to do something for this cause this weekend and realized I still have time. Phew! My sister gave me 2 of her cards. Her site is theproudpeacock.com and she is a photographer. She takes amazing photos and God gave her this amazing talent because she never took a photography class in her life! She has photo cards that are suitable for framing because they are that 8×10 size I think she said. I’m not sure what I am going to make but I will try to make them so that the person who gets them will get a smile on their face even though they are sad. The year before I was born I think my aunt & uncle had twin boys. This would have been 1953 or 1952. They died days after they were born. Then my aunt and uncle had my cousin Gary who is my age I think or a year older. I’ll bet if they had this then, it would have helped her. As far as I know there are no twins in my family so this would have been a first. I often wonder if she still thinks about them even today?
You did a beautiful job on the cards. I like your colors. You always do such beautiful work.
Oh yeah, I have to tell you that our library is having an adult coloring night! They supply the crayons, pictures to color and colored pencils, all you have to do is supply you! I might have to go!
Gorgeous cards, Kathy. I feel very very emotional about this topic. Unfortunately, I had miscarriage twice… 🙁
Oh Milka so sorry to hear that you had to experience that kind of heartache twice. I find comfort knowing that you have a hobby that can keep the mind busy sometimes. Double big hugs for you. xxo
Kathy, wonderful idea and beautiful cards. They looks so beautiful with the flowers you have coloured and that elegant die cut.
Beautiful cards and such a worthy cause.
What a wonderful cause!!! I love this project!
I love how you did the flowers and showed us how you were adding the white to the cards. Hugz
Awesome cards! Fantastic card drive for hurting families! I’ve started making my cards for the drive!
