Romance & please vote

Hello Friends, How are YOU!!! I miss the 30day posting and “chatting” with you all. (more on that at the bottom)
IMG_6993

I forgot that you guys don’t always need to see a card so I decided to post some coloring. Love this stamp set from Stamping Bella and they are having a 20% off sale. SWEET!

IMG_9444

My card and gift is super late…I am so bad!! Aren’t they a stunning couple?! Such a sweet love story too šŸ™‚

IMG_7006

After I finished my fussy cutting I was cleaning up and noticed the back of the package had an awesome example on it so I had to copy it.

IMG_7008

It’s a good way to show that some simple coloring without shading can look just as pretty don’t you think?

IMG_7012

When should the next 30 Day Coloring Challenge be? Please weigh in and tell me if September or October is better for you.

Have a happy happy weekend. Hugs, Kathy

    I vote october

  3. Kathy says

    July 16, 2015 at 1:22 am

    WooHoo! Another 30 day challenge!
    My vote is September.
    Love those cards… Cool bride & groom.

    Heavens Kathy! You’re the one that has to find the time. Which is better for you?
    The sequins arrived from Lucy’s and they are gorgeous! Thanks so much again for the giveaway. My husband said, ” Is there a princess here? Someone got Royal Mail.”

  5. Gabriella says

    July 16, 2015 at 6:59 am

    I like October better! Or you could just start mid September and end mid October.

    July 16, 2015 at 7:13 am

    October pleeeeease. I’m having a baby and therefore going to have 4 months leave from work starting october. I am sure I can color in between feeds lol

    July 16, 2015 at 7:44 am

    Either September or October works for me. It’s all about creating a little time to create, isn’t it? Having said that, life’s a little too hectic right now to actually sit down and craft. My husband’s surgery went well, though, and I should be able to take him home from the hospital tomorrow.

      BTW, is there anything I still need to do to collect my prize from the last 30D colouring challenge? I did send you an e-mail using the contact form on your blog a good while back, but I’m not sure you received it?

  8. Lisa M says

    July 16, 2015 at 8:37 am

    What a sweet card! I’m sure the couple will love it no matter how late it may be! I vote for September but of course, I don’t mind if October is picked either! Thank you Kathy!

    Any time is good for me…retired. I would love some tips on making flat images such as a skirt on a dress shaded so that the skirt (or whatever) has dimension like ripples/highs and lows. Does that make sense? I have a lot of the My Favorite Things Pure Innocence little girl images and it would be helpful to know how to better color the plain skirts so they don’t just look flat. Thanks so much.

  10. TracyM #6773 says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:08 am

    GORGEOUS cards!!!
    I don’t mind, either works for me at the moment, I’m hoping to have a lot more creative time for my heart & hands from August šŸ™‚
    THANK YOU in EXCITED ANTICIPATION!!!

  11. Patti Willey says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:16 am

    Wow this Wedding Photo so handsome! They look incredible! Love the Stamping Bella being late it should bring back a flood of memories! How about September, making it once a Quarter but I see October had the vote! No matter Sweets!

  12. Karen P says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:18 am

    October please, gives me time to get organised for the next one! Gorgeous colouring xx

  13. Wendy Goundrey says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:19 am

    My first thought was September but either one would work for me, too. One of the advantages of being retired.

  14. Beth Holt says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:22 am

    So pretty! Your coloring is amazing!

  15. ļøļøChriss Blagrave says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:23 am

    Gorgeous cards! I love this image and might have to buy šŸ™‚
    Either month !

  16. Shirley says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:26 am

    I love all your videos and vote September….might be too much of a withdrawal if I have to wait until October :o)

  17. Kymona says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:30 am

    Great cards!! September for me!!! I’m impatient, LOL!!!!

  18. Kathy Stacy says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:31 am

    October

  19. Kamila says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:34 am

    I vote October and this time I will definitely take part each day I found my favourite mediums and fell in love with Copics šŸ˜€

  20. Jodie says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:35 am

    I vote October.

  21. Arty says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:37 am

    October please.

  22. barb macaskill says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:51 am

    LOVE your wedding card and the couple are beautiful! LOVE her veil so much.
    I think October would be best since September is transition time for parents of school age children and teachers from summer schedules to school schedules. Having it start in October would give them a little respite and wind down time after the craziness of back to school and all that goes with it.
    Just my opinion though. I could do either month! Looking forward to it!

  23. Kathy H says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:55 am

    Awesome coloring! I’m dying to know what their story is. September for me!

  24. Sherry says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:56 am

    October Please!!!!!!

  25. Sabine E. says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:56 am

    Love your Wedding card. I vote for October.

  26. Miriam Prantner says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:02 am

    Fantastic image and I love it both ways. For the coloring challenge I’d say October, September is kind of crazy with school starting.

  27. Jean Marmo says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:03 am

    Gorgeous!! Either works for me!

  28. Peggy says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:04 am

    I think it should be September, October, November, December………. šŸ™‚

    On a serious note, I don’t think I could wait till October, so I vote September!

  29. Brithzi Sandy says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:04 am

    The wedding card is beautiful. I’ll go for October although either would work for me.

  30. Laura P. says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:06 am

    Hi Kathy! As always your coloring is amazing! I always look forward to your posts. You are so talented amd sweet!

  31. Jennie says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:12 am

    October! After my kids go back to school ☺

  32. jengd says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:22 am

    September. School will have been going for a week. Oct. is crazy with costumes and parties and such.

  33. Susan G says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:33 am

    I’m usually bogged down in October, so September is better for me, but you’re the one that really does all the work. Which month is better for you? I will love it no matter when.

  34. Lisa l. says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:33 am

    October!

  35. Holly Saveur says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:37 am

    great another 30 day coloring!
    both would work for me..

  36. Kaye says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:37 am

    September please…can’t wait till October! lol

  37. Connie Brooks says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:46 am

    October

  38. Linda Tupper says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:54 am

    My goodness your cards are just stunning. I have been so busy and haven’;t had a chance to comment on your last month of coloring but sure followed every day. My vote would be October.

  39. Sheri K says

    July 16, 2015 at 12:03 pm

    Great card and coloring Kathy! I already left my vote on Instagram for October-I’m going to be traveling in September.

  40. Dotty A says

    July 16, 2015 at 12:15 pm

  44. Beverly Jordan says

    July 16, 2015 at 1:26 pm

    Either though September I will be in town the whole month so slightly more time to play. Love your inspiring cards and this adorable stamp by the way! Thank you for doing this for all of us followers!!! Definitely NOT November nor December!!!! So looking forward to it!

  45. Melanie Smith says

    July 16, 2015 at 1:30 pm

    My vote is October since I am cookie mom and Girl Scout cookies go on sale here in September, but I will make September work if that is when it is. I really enjoyed the last one and did all but four days. Thanks for hosting the challenges.

  46. Dotty Jo says

    July 16, 2015 at 1:47 pm

    Either is good for me! Your card is gorgeous… And so are the happy couple, Jo x

  47. PAT Robertson says

    July 16, 2015 at 1:53 pm

    October would be fun. Seasons starting to change and all. But whatever works best for you is fine and dandy.

  48. BarbW says

    July 16, 2015 at 2:26 pm

    Hi Kathy! I love your coloring on your wedding card! We are a family of mixed ethnicities, so I really appreciate you recognizing the skin tones. That’s a beautiful thing! Both of your images are lovely and the sparkle on them makes me smile. What a great looking couple, too!

    I am missing the coloring challenge, too! I voted on Instagram(1BusyB) but I will vote here, as well. I cast my vote for October. It’s my favorite month and I would love to spend it coloring with you and all of the lovely ladies I’ve ‘met’ thru Instagram during the other challenges.

  49. Laura says

    July 16, 2015 at 2:36 pm

    Love the card! September please. Will be working hard on Craft Sale items in October. Well will be working on them in Sept too, but October is long days of getting ready.

  50. Pocono Pam says

    July 16, 2015 at 2:44 pm

    Kathy! Such a great card and beautiful couple! My daughter is getting married next year and I cannot wait! I vote for October!

  51. Kimberly aka SamsSissy says

    July 16, 2015 at 2:47 pm

    Beautiful card! I am sure they will love it.

    I say every other month. So August and October. Not a choice?? Ok, then September please!

  52. Heather P says

    July 16, 2015 at 2:53 pm

    What a beautiful card! For the next colouring challenge, either month works for me as I’ll be travelling a bit and would have to catch up no matter which month is chosen! I’m just happy you’re choosing yo lead us again :0)

  53. Pat C says

    July 16, 2015 at 3:01 pm

    So, my husband will be in China for 2 weeks in Sept which frees up a lot of my evenings….I say Sept! šŸ˜‰ But Oct would work, too….

  54. Angela says

    July 16, 2015 at 3:05 pm

    September would be fine for me please

  55. Taunya Butler says

    July 16, 2015 at 3:07 pm

    I vote September but whenever you do it I will try to participate as much as I can!! Thanks so much for being such a wonderful person!!

  56. Barbara says

    July 16, 2015 at 3:08 pm

    October!

  57. Valerie says

    July 16, 2015 at 3:40 pm

    October is usually a quieter month for me.

  58. Margaret (Rahzi) Rembold says

    July 16, 2015 at 3:45 pm

    I loved seeing your coloring of this delighted image on instagram but it’s even more stunning here on your blog. What a gorgeous couple – love how he’s looking at her so adoringly. I’m happy with September or October – see how helpful I am? ~Maggie aka rahzicrafts.

  59. bev p says

    July 16, 2015 at 4:00 pm

    Once September comes, my life gets way more hectic and time shorter, so either month is equally good (bad) for me! October does have 31 days though!!!! :))

  60. Tami B says

    July 16, 2015 at 4:07 pm

    October please

  61. Angie Hall says

    July 16, 2015 at 4:20 pm

    If it doesn’t rush you too much, I like Sept. Some may start working on their Christmas cards in Oct.

  62. Berina Febin says

    July 16, 2015 at 5:16 pm

    What a beautiful image! The happy couple will LOVE it!! Thanks for planning another 30Day Coloring Challenge, Kathy! Either month works for me. October seems like a quieter time for coloring here. I promise to participate more this time!! ā™”

  64. Cheryl O says

    July 16, 2015 at 5:41 pm

    Your card is awesome!!! I will be traveling in September, so I vote for October. Of course, I’m only one person and could catch up in the month of October!!!!

  65. Lavonne says

    July 16, 2015 at 5:51 pm

    Love the coloring. So very pretty. I vote for October. September is pretty busy with school going back in. My baby will be starting grade 12! Can you believe it? It’s hard for me to believe.

  66. Ann Reisinger says

    July 16, 2015 at 6:17 pm

    Either month works for me! Thank you so much for sharing all of your beautiful work!

  67. Valerie Breingan says

    July 16, 2015 at 6:29 pm

    Wow Kathy , this stamp is soo beautiful . I love coloring big pics like this.You do it justice my friend.September would be perfect,there’s no holiday in September .Perfect for me.

    I vote for October

  70. Julia says

    July 16, 2015 at 8:17 pm

    October

  71. Tracy says

    July 16, 2015 at 8:40 pm

    Hi Kathy,
    Either September or October would be good – I think our school holidays are between these months anyway (Australia), so I can get the kids involved this time around šŸ™‚ I haven’t posted anything as I dont have a blog or anything related to this so was thinking if you could maybe start up a Facebook page for us as well? Not sure how hard this would be or if I am asking too much ;}

  72. Helen says

    July 16, 2015 at 8:50 pm

    What a beautiful couple. Love, love the red sash! October would be wonderful. Thanks for taking this on again!

  73. ScrappyMama says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:02 pm

    I vote for October

  74. PARKER says

    July 16, 2015 at 10:30 pm

    I would pick OCTOBER because: September…. we parents AND kids are getting into the swing of the new school year with all new classes and extracurricular activities. By October, all that will have been gotten used to and the scurrying around and trying to remember this and that will long be done with. Thanks for having this vote.

  75. F Bond says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:02 pm

    I vote for October…Just because I hope some of the colors of fall and winter can be included.

  76. Aileen Ryan says

    July 16, 2015 at 11:40 pm

    I would like September cause it keeps me colouring and I love that. But I an do either so happy to go with the flow (nononono I really want September then you could squeeze in another one before the year ends, ohhh my goodness am I greedy šŸ™‚

  77. katrine (treen) leber says

    July 17, 2015 at 12:24 am

    Hi Kathy! I vote for September, because its closer. lol hope to see you soon!

  78. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    July 17, 2015 at 12:33 am

    Love the card! Love the couple too! I watch Say Yes To The Dress so I was admiring her veil and the rest of her outfit. Mom & I watch it a lot. I’ve never been married but I love wedding gowns. My mom was married in 1950 and her wedding gown is almost exactly like Princess Kate! How did she manage to copy my moms? LOL
    In Sept. there is a 2 week long fair called The Big E, The Eastern States Exposition. It’s all the Eastern States in one fair. My sister has a booth with her shawls and handbags that have her photography on them. I work with her and she pays to me to work about 4 hours, sometimes longer and then I go and enjoy the fair. The fair is from 10-9. I don’t spend the whole 2 weeks with her but when I do, I’m hardly on my computer, so Oct. would be better for me. I just hate to wait so long!
    I finished my flower pot and I love it! It is colorful & pretty & I can’t wait to use it. Will post a photo for you. Took me a while but it was so worth it!

  79. Sandy says

    July 17, 2015 at 1:53 am

    October! Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for too. Plus it’s my big 50 this year.

  80. Nandini says

    July 17, 2015 at 3:17 am

    Both work for me.

  81. Karen Oliver says

    July 17, 2015 at 3:33 am

    Gorgeous image Kathy, totally perfect for a wedding card.
    I have no preference to September or October I’m just looking forward to it. šŸ™‚

  82. Angela Walters says

    July 17, 2015 at 5:56 am

    I vote for October, please.

  83. Donna K says

    July 17, 2015 at 8:36 am

    Such a gorgeous card for a beautiful couple! I would love it if you had a September challenge. I’ve never played along with your challenges before so I’m super excited! Happy Friday.

  84. Tracey Magner says

    July 17, 2015 at 12:34 pm

    Kathy, September !! But i’m just happy we are doing it again, so whenever. Also, I got that stamp when they released it a few weeks back, love it and how you did it. Beautiful !!!

  85. Chrissie says

    July 17, 2015 at 4:30 pm

    I vote October because it’s my birthday month – yay!! X

  86. Teresa says

    July 17, 2015 at 5:32 pm

    Sept. would be best for me but I understand that it may not be for others. I just hope to be able to do this every single day.

  87. Barbara in Georgia says

    July 17, 2015 at 5:56 pm

    I vote for October. But I wouldn’t ignore if it is in September. Just don’t stop!

  88. Karen D says

    July 17, 2015 at 6:21 pm

    October! I love the cards and I thought the picture of the couple was one of those clip art pictures not the real couple, they are gorgeous!

  89. SHERRY says

    July 18, 2015 at 12:28 am

    October PLEASE. My September is SUPER busy! !!!

  90. Jodene says

    July 18, 2015 at 6:09 am

    I am just so grateful to hear you are running another colour challenge that I don’t care when it is! Either month is suitable for me. You ROCK Kathy šŸ™‚

  91. ionabunny says

    July 18, 2015 at 1:04 pm

    September. Cos that’s sooner and I can’t wait. Also October is Halloweeny month. I mean, that would be OK, but it would have to be all purple and green and orange. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha. Always busy for Halloweeny. Hugz

  92. Dorothy says

    July 18, 2015 at 1:48 pm

    I think October would be best. In September Mothers are getting their children off to their new school year and are more busy, perhaps, than in October. Soooo, I vote October.

  93. Ruth says

    July 18, 2015 at 2:49 pm

    I think I voted on IG but I’m happy with either! Love your card – looking forward to another challenge – including the little pop up challenge in August. xx

  94. judy sander says

    July 18, 2015 at 4:32 pm

    My vote: Either is fine with me. Middle of months best as I will be gone end of Sept first of Oct.

    Cute card!

  95. Lindarub says

  97. sherry butcher says

    July 19, 2015 at 8:20 am

  99. karen q says

    July 19, 2015 at 3:24 pm

    I will be around either month because I just retired!! I vote September and October.

  100. Denise V says

    July 19, 2015 at 8:56 pm

    Lovely wedding card. I vote for October, but September works for me too. Thanks for asking us.

  101. Amy Seigler says

    July 20, 2015 at 9:52 pm

    July 21, 2015 at 10:50 am

    Kathy you have really mastered the Zigs! Your tags are gorgeous! The Ton really have beautiful flower stamps. I would love to win one. Thanks for the chance to win!

  104. Jean Bullock says

    July 21, 2015 at 11:46 am

    September for me.

  105. Hazel says

    July 21, 2015 at 12:38 pm

    Fantastic colouring Kathy! I’m so pleased to hear that you are not letting the worthless ‘thumbs down’ people get to you . . . good for you! It really saddens me when lovely people try to do something good to help others and they are shot down by ignorant people! Beautiful stamps sets that are on my wishlist . . . a loooong list, I can tell you šŸ˜‰ Have a lovely evening! Hazel xx

  106. Barb Ghig says

    July 21, 2015 at 2:02 pm

    I love how you colored the blooms…and your tags are so pretty! Thanks so much for the video and for the link to Jenn’s blog šŸ™‚

  107. Paula Fuller says

    July 21, 2015 at 3:16 pm

    I like September, because I don’t like waiting, but in truth mid-September or October is better for me. Whenever you schedule it though, I will work it out. I enjoy the challenges.

  108. Joyce says

    July 21, 2015 at 5:46 pm

    September now isn’t good so glad it’s October!

    Hi Kathy! Lovely wedding photo! I don’t have any Stamping Bella yet, the emails were too frequent and I unsubscribed, but they call my name like so many other stamps and dies. LOL Great Cards and yes, I love both ways. My initial thought, is October, but I could go either way. We all really need to be starting on Christmas, RIGHT NOW. But I’m trying to close my aviary and saying goodbye to the maintenance is easy, to the birds I have hand raised and the deep love of their mutations and genetics, not easy. Their colors as amazing as copics. LOL Please do what is best for you.
