Day 23. Doodles

Hello Friends, How are you today? I hope your week is off to a good start.

The sentiment on this coloring card from Simon Says Stamp feels like something I should be reading out loud to you guys! Thanks for your belief in me. Sometimes I feel like giving up blogging and then I think of you guys and that awful feeling passes. I’m not looking for you to say anything just being transparent and being grateful. Thank YOU

As you all know I love having SSS coloring cards on hand for a “quick” color. Today I had time to add lots of doodles … one of my favorite things to do. In the photo above I added some red to every petal for more interest.

I added white to the tips of the petals and lots of lines and triangles with a sharpie and a super fine tip marker. Soo fun!

Have a great day and see you tomorrow and THANKS again. Hugs, Kathy

    Love how much impact the doodling adds to your simple colouring. At first I did not even notice the tiny hairy pattern on the flower hearts, but it provided the perfect texture!

    Oh Kathy, I hear you on sometimes wanting to stop blogging. I feel that way, too, at times. I’m glad you are sticking with it. You bring so much inspiration. This is really a fun project. I really like all your doodles. They add so much to the card. Wow! Watching the short video was fun. The music was terrific. Thanks so much for sharing!

      Dear Kathy, Tracey took already the words out of my mouth, we love all the things you do and we enjoy it. Take Kathy time, lean back and enjoy what you want.

      I love your card, the doodles are great and the white is just the finishing touch to the petals.

    LOL Kathy, every time I hit to play your video I jump out of my seat! LOL I feel I should be up & dancing to the music! 😉 Your doodles are MAGNIFICENT! They bring SO MUCH LIFE to this image!!! SUPER JOB!!! AND I TOTALLY understand what you mean about your stopping your blogging. You have SO MANY PEOPLE behind you, from your followers, to your close “friends,” to companies! You’re in “the sweet spot!” 😉

    That is Gorgeous! Please don’t ever stop blogging because I love your work and am inspired by you! It’s okay to slow down every now and then if you need to, but don’t stop! 🙂

    Very pretty. Love the doodle. I wouldn’t know where to start.. I love the look and I guess I just need to try and go from there.

    I love how your doodles stepped up that image! I’m in awe!

    Love it! These are the types of designs I look for in my coloring books…for this very reason. I love to play with my colored gel pens and fill in spaces with different colored doodles instead of filling in the entire space. You get the effects of coloring in and the fun of making it your own. (I sort of fell into this when I was out of town with only my frixion pens to play with–they don’t lay down like gelly roll or some of the other gel pens, and this is what I came up with.) Great minds seem to play alike too!

    I need to experiment with doodling–not something I usually do.

  15. Annette Hovestol says

    February 6, 2018 at 8:26 pm

    What a great way to change up a design. Every time I look at the doodled card, I see more details. Fantastic! Thanks for all you share with us and how you inspire us.

    What amazing doodling on those big, bold blooms Kathy! Such a talented lady!

    Another beautiful piece Kathy. You should be taking some of your own advice…colour for a few minutes a day to relieve stress and forget about trying to post everyday…we don’t expect you to do that. We would rather have fewer posts per week and have a happy, stress free Kathy for years to come. {{{{HUGS, SISTER!}}}}
    Oh, and no, I haven’t done doodles like this on my images but I think I’ll start.

    That’s right Kathy get those bad thoughts out of your head lol. We would or at least I would for sure miss you if you were to stop. I love to doodle myself, matter of fact while my hubby was going through his surgeries, recovery and rehab at Ft. Hood I went and helped out at the SFAC (Solider Family Assistance Center), I help individuals with PTSD. The thing I found that helped the most was art therapy. Zen tangling and ceramics were the most effective in helping them focus on something good instead of the bad that the solider’s had seen and been through. So you go girl keep doodling it’s wonderful.
