Hello Friends, How are you today? You know that feeling that you get after the holidays? You have more time for the whatever but, have that let down feeling? That’s how I am feeling right now because the 30 day challenge is over. But, each year there is another holiday and there will be another 30 day challenge.
I wanted to do a wrap up video just to refresh some of the tips that I shared with you during the challenge. To watch the video in HD or larger click here.
I hope you all will want to circle the date on your calendar or planner. JUNE 1ST will be the second 30 day color challenge. It will be called #thedailymarker30day2.
The end of May we will start getting our supplies organized and I will remind you again.
To wrap up the 30 days I thought it might be fun to see all 30 projects for the 30 day challenge. If you are NOT on Instagram you can see all of the creativity here to see what others are up to. We can keep the sharing going on this hashtag #thedailymarkercolor2day until the next challenge if you are interested.
Thanks to each and everyone of you for making the last 30 days a memorable one and thanks from the bottom of my heart. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Kathy
Day 17. & 18. Florals and More
Video, Giveaway and Blog Hop
Day 29. abstract grid – video
A HUGE THANK YOU to you for putting this all together for us! It has been an incredible month and I have enjoyed getting to know you better! I also made a new friend (ciocioscrap) and am thankful for that! Friends, old and new, are a blessing in life!
I am looking forward to participating in #thedailymarker3day2 in June!! Till then I will be reading your posts and watching your videos, learning lots of new things from you! See you next post! :-
Forgot to add that since Day 25 when you showed the technique where you used the Copic Various Ink Blender fluid, to blend the trio of colors and added texture at the same time, I have been trying to figure out how to get some of it without paying $20 for a bottle of it. Tonight as I was watching your wrap up video I remembered that I had a reinker for the Spectrum Noir Blender pen. I actually heard the Angels singing as I ran to my Craft Room and found it. I am going to be giving this technique a try next time I am in my Craft Room. THANK YOU! That is just one of MANY tips and techniques that I learned from you this month! Will let you know how it works out!
Maybe you could help me find my SN bottle as well LOL. I haven’t been able to find it again after we moved to our new home a few months ago. I was so disappointed when I could not find it, but I tried applying colourless blender solution to a napkin/paper towel using the chisel end of my Promarker blender instead. You can see the result here: http://marianne-cards-n-stuff.blogspot.gr/2015/04/playing-with-colourless-blender.html. The result is different from what Kathy did, but I like it anyway. Isn’t it fun how Kathy motivates us to try new things?!
If you look in the last place you had it you will find it! LOL Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Wish I could REALLY help you find it. 🙂 Off to check out your link!
OMG….is it June 1st yet?
Thanks you sooo much for putting this together. I really had a great time these past thirty days creating, sharing, and learning. So much talent out there and it was fun seeing everyone’s work. Thanks for inspiring me! I can’t wait for round 2!
Yay!!!! June 1 is circled on the calendar. Looking forward to another challenge

I’ve saved the date Kathy! This has been so much fun. Thanks for the wrap up too!
It’s a date – I can’t wait!
Thank you sooo so much. This was great! I made some new friends and have some great new ideas to try. Looking fwd to June!
I really enjoyed this challenge and am looking forward to June 1st. Thanks for the wrap-up video, it was a great reminder of what we’ve learned and what we’ll want to try if we haven’t already.
So glad you did the wrap-up post. It reinforced all the tips and techniques that you’ve covered. Very, very informative and inspiring. I’m always slow to getting around to actually try these things, so always behind. But, they are there for me to go back to all in this video. It was a great month, I looked forward to each day!
thanks and looking forward to June.
Love-love-love. I just found you. You’re such an inspiration!
Thank you so much for doing this challenge. It was so much fun to see your work and everyone else’s project. You are an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge in the card making world. I really appeciate all the work you put into this challenge, including commenting on our projects. Thank you! I look forward to the next challenge. Have a great spring!
Kathy, you have done such fabulous work on these pieces! My main take-away is just to experiment and have fun! I have enjoyed this series so much! Thank you!
I’m not much of a colorist but I have to say this was really a joy and something to look forward to every day. Thanks so much for hosting, I learned a log.
I thoroughly enjoyed your 30 Day Color Challenge, and can’t wait for the next one! Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us!!
Thanks so much for doing this Kathy. I found it very therapeutic. You can be sure I’ll be ready ( with my own basket filled!) on June 1st. In the meantime I will refresh my stash with a few fine line sharpie’s, etc. , as even though I can’t draw a stick man, I CAN doodle shapes. I am excited to try it and see what happens. Maybe between now and then I will even be able to start my Copic collection. I even plan to have some of my old favs. stamped off in various mediums ready for each day that I am too busy to sit down and think of something.
Again, your project were extremely inspiring and I look forward to the next challenge.
I really enjoyed seeing all your colored projects Kathy,and this video is no exception! Thanks so much for doing the 30 day challenge for us,although I only participated by watching each day and commenting,I found it SO enjoyable-maybe I can even join in creating for the next one! xx
Thanks Kathy, I can’t wait for the new challenge !!! I really wanted to share what I did this past 30 days but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to do it even with the links you sent us, so frustrating. But I am excited to start the new challenge, the tough part is I spend so much money because your stuff is so Amazing that I always end up wanting to buy the stamp or die or inks or whatever, Kathy your a bad influence LOL.
Wow! Thanks for the wrap-up. I missed more than I had thought…darn computer! I am determined to go back and check them all. Three months in a cast will definitely be a challenge, but I am ready to start playing again.
Although I checked in with what you were doing everyday, I did a terrible job on the challenge myself, (only got in about 10 days,) but I will try to do better next go round, and not that you asked, but #26 was my fav. I’m still in awe of that one, with #28 not far behind.
What a fabulous month! I learned lots of techniques and a jumpstart back into creativity. Can’t wait til June! Thanks so much
Thank you for undertaking such a project. I’m truly looking forward to the next coloring challenge. I did mark it on my calendar.
Was so nice to see the video with all the cards you made. I so have enjoyed your 30 day challange and was so excited to hear you’re having another one in June. I have so enjoyed you’re coloring and ideas, techniques. Thank you so much for you’re inspiration. So looking forward to your next one in June. Hope you’re hubby is progressing well.
Happy Easter

I think I started on Day 14 so I am going to check on all the ones I missed. Today I finished a card that I made for my sister and my nephew and if I do say so myself, it came out beautiful! My mom had an appointment with her chiropractor. She goes once a week so I had seen all of his magazines from last week. I brought all my colored pencils, a clip board and 3 cards to color. I did 2 and part of the 3rd. Everyone knows they will get late Easter cards but they don’t mind or at least I don’t think they will mind. I’m not mailing the one to my sister and nephew as they will be up our house tomorrow. If I can send you a photo, I will.
Thank you for doing this! I had so much fun seeing all the fun things you did and found some new fun websites that I didn’t know even existed. I hope we keep getting e-mail’s from you! Keep on coloring everyone!
Forgot to mention that my mom’s chiropractor came out and asked if I was ready for Easter and I said “What do you think?” and I showed him the card I had just finished. He said it was beautiful. I’ve known this man for years and I think he has good taste! LOL
I just want to say “Thank You” so much, Kathy! This past month has been so much fun, and I can’t wait to do it again! Happy Easter!
I enjoyed your challenge, Kathy. So many beautiful cards/images and very useful tips. I am looking forward to the thedailymarker30day2 challenge. 😀
hugs
Milka
Thank you for such a wonderful month filled with ideas and colour! Hopefully for the next challenge I’ll actually be able to finish the cards and put them on my blog. 🙂
Hi Kathy, a HUGE thank you for the videos over the course of a month. I am so glad that you added “The Wrap up” as it showed that I had missed a few videos (gasp, horror!!) so I was able to go back and search them up – must have come in late……hmmm
Anyway, you have been an awesome teacher – the techniques I have learnt from you have been extremely valuable. It is great to try and create something without the pressure of having to purchase new stuff. I am looking forward to the next colour challenge with baited breath! take care x x x Tracy from all the way downunder :))
Thanks so much again Kathy for running this challenge, it was so much fun! Cannot wait for the next one 🙂
I loved seeing all of your projects together too and the wrap-up video!
AWESOME, AWESOME 30 DAYS!! I loved all projects with “new” techniques.
Thanks for sharing your creativity with us you are so talented and I learned to much. Can’t wait to June XD. Hugs
Thanks so much for an awesome challenge, Kathy! It was a great boost to my creativity & I loved all of the inspiration, plus finding new crafty peeps on IG. I’m looking forward to the next 30 day challenge!
Amazing cards!
Thank you so very much for all the fun..and inspiration..date is saved!
You my dear are AMAZING!!! I have to say that my card making mojo has gone and this challenge really helped me just sit back, relax and enjoy the coloring process. I didn’t even make a card with most of the things I colored but I have them in a box for when I am ready to make a card. Thank you so much for helping me get out of my funk.
I already marked my calendar for the next one. BIG HUGS!
I had an absolute blast following along this challenge on instagram!!! I wish I could have been better about coloring something EVERY day but I am marking Jun 1 on my calendar and will be better prepared for the next one…I hope! I love all your cards – you really make me thing about different things and your doodling, eek, I wish I had more confidence to do that!! I love it. Thank you so much for this amazing challenge and I’m so happy to have found you and your awesome inspirational blog!
Absolutely mind blowing! I love each card and technique! I learned so much!
Thank you so much Kathy for hosting this challenge. Although I wasn’t able to take part every day, I enjoyed spending time colouring when I could. I look forward to the next one – it’s in the diary!
Thanks again, Kathy, for putting this all together for us and providing inspiration every day. I enjoyed participating every day! I will try to join on June 1st. We have had a very.long.cold.winter, so I plan to be outdoors in my garden as much as possible this spring and summer! I will bring my coloring outside with me!
Hello Kathy
Although I did not participate in any of the challenges, I want to let you know how much I appreciate the videos and the lessons you taught. I learned so much and so many techniques that I wouldn’t have ran across in my daily comings & goings. THANK YOU!!! So much information and so much FUN!
I can’t wait until June 1st.
Kathy B
Kathy, you are awesome and amazing. Your coloring is fantastic. That is all. 🙂
A huge thanks from me to you as well, Kathy! I loved being part of you first 30 Day challenge and I’m so happy to see you’ve planned another one. I will be on vacation at the start of your next challenge and though I’ll surely take some paints and pencils with me I will stay away from the Internet as long as I’m not at home. However, I’m determined to join you all again as soon as I’ll be back. Thanks again for your wonderful challenge!
So sad that I missed the last few days of the challenge, but impressed that I did actually manage to join in most of the time! Just lost all will to colour due to feeling pretty bleugh. 🙁
Thank you for hosting such a fun challenge Kathy, and for being an awesome inspiration. Looking forward to joining in next time, I’ve popped it in my planner!
Kathy,
I began the challenge but couldn’t participate much after the first week. Can’t wait for June 1!
In the meantime, I can’t thank you enough for putting this all together and ending so strong with the great wrap up video. I have learned AMAZING things from you – you are a great teacher! Thanks so much for giving your time and sharing your awesome talent with us!
Thank you so much for all the inspiration! Your cards were something to look forward to each day. I wasn’t able to participate often but it was so fun to see what you had done each day. It was wonderful to learn new techniques and you gave me lots of ideas! Thank you, thank you!!
What a fabulous collection of colored projects, Kathy! You are the queen of coloring!!!
Hi Kathy,
thanks a lot for this challenge and all the inspiration you give me all the time. I enjoyed participating immensely, though I didn’t manage to color something every day.
Thanks also for all your kind comments on my blog, I imagine yo must have spent days commenting.
Love
Ela
I had missed this blog post earlier and had fun watching your video! I was feeling a bit regretful that life got in the way and I missed so many days of the challenge….so I anxiously have June 1 circled on my calendar! Thanks for all of the time and effort that you put into this first challenge. You really gave me a kickstart to pull out my supplies and just play!
Wow Kathy. You are super talented. I love how you color your cards. I want to be a part of your next challenge…hopefully, I can keep up each day. I learned a lot just watching your wrap-up video. Thanks so much for sharing your art!
