Ok let’s get started …. I was so delighted to hear that so many of you like this feature. If I feature someone twice it’s because it takes to much time to see who’s work I shared last week plus my memory isn’t that good lol. There is so much talent and this is just a teeny tiny sampling of what I am seeing so please keep that in mind. I love what you are doing.

A dazzling array of creativity showcased here, Kathy! Everyone’s work is amazing; yet more inspiration for me to ‘up’ my colouring (and invest in a few more images, as well).

Can’t wait to share it when it is all done.

Linda S in NE says
Once again I am blown away by the talented people you have featured. I like that you did not refer by name, but let us explore more of their work as we wanted to. Such a great way to find new talent. I know the 30 Day challenge is coming to an end, (sadly), but I will still comment how much I appreciate the photos including the medium used. Just a paintbrush, a couple of markers, or a couple of colored pencils tells the viewer so much. Thanks to all who shared their talents and love of coloring.
Jo says
Just look at how you have inspired us! Jo x

Paulette Still says
Kathy, this is my favorite challenge for card makers and colorists, hands down! I love everything you share from your art work, to tips, to encouragement, to new stamp companies and hops and prizes. I’d be here even if there were no prizes. You are AMAZING and I hope you know that. Thank you, for featuring my starfish card. I kept getting lost in crafter’s Instagram accounts. LOL. And couldn’t comment because I don’t have Instagram. I may have to join. Everyone who was inspired by your posts is AMAZING, whether they colored for 2-5 minutes or an hour, whether they watched a video-left you or another crafter a great comment, whether they tucked a thought away for another crafty day, etc. I had great plans to play every single day. I had plans to use things You have given me, etc. Glad I got to play for several days.
Gail Plaskiewicz says
Congrats to all the winners & boo hoo that I am not one of them! LOL I am also amazed at all the great coloring I am seeing on the site. Wow, I am impressed! Everyone is just so good!
I started one of my retail jobs in 1980 and worked their for 18-19 years when they went out of business. My first coloring book of snow flakes is from 1981 so that is probably when I started coloring again. I bought 2 books the same. One was for me to color for myself. The other was for me to color, take them out and put them in lucite frames as Christmas gifts. I’m so glad coloring is big again but for me, i’ve been doing it for a very long time. I have markers, colored pencils, water color pencils, water colors, and chalk pencils and chalk that isn’t pencils, a 96 box of crayons and crayons that have glitter in them, that are shimmery and have 3 colors in them, and a few other kinds. I took 4 years of art in high school and in a grade school class of 40 kids, my art work was almost always hung up on the wall. I make jewelry, do embroidery and rubber stamp on clothing, flour sack dish towels and all kinds of material including wooden purses.
I have found some of the most amazing coloring pages on-line and I am going to print them all out and make my own coloring book. Then I can color whenever I want!
Thanks for all the fun things you teach us and I am so sad that this is coming to an end. At least I know you will start it up again and we can color all the time anyway. Love you, Kathy!
Joyce says
Awww, sweet little ones!mand beautiful,coloring.
