Hello friends and my dear color enthusiasts! How are you? September is around the corner and is usually a busy month so why not add one more thing to your plate lol … BUT … wait … keep reading! It’s a good thing I promise!
How about something that forces you to carve out a little “YOU” time? “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” ! This time we will be ticking off number 8! Everyone is invited to be part of the fun and there is no guilt, pressure, calories or stress in this challenge. You are guaranteed inspiration, Zen moments, doing something you love to do and having the support of our worldwide community .
If you are new to the 30 Day Coloring Challenges a very warm welcome to you and so happy you are here. I hope to answer any questions you might have or give you a little refresher if you have participated before.
If you are not the reading type here is the link to a video. THE VIDEO IS FOR A PREVIOUS CHALLENGE but, the principals are the same. Don’t forget about the private FACEBOOK PAGE where you can share your coloring. Keep in mind I am not super active at FB but, we will have a presence there and the focus is community.
WHAT IS THE GOAL of the challenge: 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. IN A NUT SHELL … it’s anything goes challenge … and whatever you feel inspired to do. Any medium of your choice including “coloring” with ink. Some days you will have more time than others but, it’s just about adding more time to color and carve out a little time for you.
CAN ANYONE PARTICIPATE IN THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE? YES please! If you want to participate you can jump in at any time during the challenge! Feel free to include your children and grandchildren. If you miss a few days don’t feel like you have to catch up. We all know life can get in the way.
HOW DO YOU SHARE WHAT YOU ARE COLORING? On Day 1. I will have a place for you to share on my blog with a link up. (here is the last challenge link up if you want to have a look) Two more ways to share are FaceBook or Instagram (these are more interactive) When you use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day I can find what you are doing. Kids & young adults use #thedailymarker30daykids.
WHAT IS A GOODWILL AMBASSADOR? Each challenge a group of people are chosen that were very active during during the previous challenge. They will be helping me spread love on Instagram and Facebook. The challenge is about coloring & it’s about community, spreading kindness & support for each other.
THE GOODWILL AMBASSADORS FOR SEPTEMBER are: Tina, Dot, Jan, Rowena, Alexandra, Cathy, Lisa, Connie, Yoonsun, Christiane A huge shout out to these lovely ladies and also a big thanks to Patricia who helps me with FB & to Patti who helps me with giveaways!
WHAT IS “THE COLORING CHALLENGE ROAD TRIP” ? If you are new to the coloring challenge you most likely don’t know about the road trip. I am taking the coloring challenge on the road & my goal is to create some happiness with a feel good all day event that is affordable plus give back to the community at the same time . The Coloring Challenge Road Trip will have lots of stops that will be all day meet-ups for anyone who loves to color and wants to be with like minded people. You can check out the Dates & Locations for “The Coloring Challenge Road Trip” here.
If you have NOT done one thing to prepare do NOT worry because I haven’t either … seriously not one thing!! If you want to see my previous video of essential supplies click here (they are still the same except for the corner rounder).
See you in TWO DAYS!! I AM SUPER EXCITED!! Feel free to use the logo or grab this one. Thanks again for making this community such a great one. Hugs, Kathy

Oh my gosh. I about just had a heart attack. September is only 2 days away!??!! Where on earth did the summer go!??! I’m definitely going to need some coloring therapy to help cope with fall 🙂
hearty welcome talented team. we are equally super excited . Look forward to the colourful journey kathy
I have only stamped a few images so not very well prepared either! But I have a colouirng challenge folder which comes out every time and I shall be delving into that to finish off previous images or colour some new ones. I use these over the course of the year. And it saves me a bunch of time! Looking forward to colouirng and of course, excited to be an ambassador this time around – thank you Kathy! Xx
Yippeee!
I am looking forward to this challenge! Hoping that I can stay awake long enough to color something! TFS!
Sooo excited this is occurring in September! Cheers! SHANNON
Oh what fun! I’m not sure I will be able to participate much this time….vacation and work. But I still try to color a little every day, no matter what! I will certainly try again! 🙂
So excited for this!
Here I am, catching up on past emails! LOL
I am (thankfully) ALWAYS ready for a color challenge as I keep extra images stamped off in ready for colouring on the go! {I do a LOT of that!} So I am looking forward to it…
EXCITING TIMES!
I really do hope to play along each day 🙂
THANK YOU in advance, because you ALWAYS make colouring and creating an AWESOME ADVENTURE Kathy!
I am interested in joining but am wondering how I do that? I just signed up for your newsletter… does that sign me up? If not… help!
Hi Kathy and I am so happy you are interested in playing along. This post has a lot of info for you and I think will answer your questions. Have a great weekend 🙂
I’m going to join in this year, it will do my creativity good. Thank you for the inspiration.
Ready, set, GO! Love the Coloring Challenge, it always inspires me! Thank you Ambassadors!
Your group of ambassadors are super talented and created! I can’t wait to be inspired!
Take Care!
Michele
No, but maybe next time
Hope to play along.
I have never tried any of your products but am looking forward to doing so soon.
Thanks again for doing this, Kathy! I’ve been collecting coloring books and all kinds of supplies now I have a great reason to sit and USE them. This wonderful challenge is a wonderful motivation for me and I learn so much from it. So relaxing and rewarding.
Thanks for doing this Kathy !! It’s true, if only coloring for a few minutes, just do it!! Your trip sounds amazing also- how inspiring for all to see what you are all doing!!
I am so impressed with your card. It is just lovely. I am 85 yrs. young and I do enjoy the process of card making. It’s very challenging, but when people like you share their talent…it helps so much for people like me. TFS your God given talent to the paper crafting world.
Can you do a short video on the black nooks and crannies you referred to in your pineapple post? Kinda hard to tell exactly where you put the black.
Hi Kathy.. Quick question for you. Other than Power Poppy where do you go for Digital Stamps? I’ve gotten 12 from PP and would like some more . Any suggestions? I love to stamp, but my budget says stop. I find that digital stamps are great.
Thanks
