Welcome to Day 2 of "The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge" Blog Hop. Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker wants to share her love of coloring with you. Today Kathy has assembled a blog hop to give your creativity a jump start with some of her favorite stamp companies & Online Card Class partners.
The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed. Click here to find out where to share what you are coloring and join the encouraging community of happy colorists PLUS answers to other questions you may have.
To start at the beginning of the hop go to The Daily Marker. If you are coming from the blog of Lawn Fawn you are in the right place. Kathy has the full list if you encounter a broken link.
Here is a card specially put together for this fabulous Coloring Challenge and it has quite some meaning behind it! Ever since we started Mama Elephant, we have learned so much and met so many wonderful people in this industry. We soon began to realize that we don't just make and sell physical stamps and tools. We would like to believe that we also produce something that can help achieve an experience that we can share among friends and create something that can help lift a smile. So we are extra proud to be part of this 30 Day Coloring Challenge Community and super proud of Kathy Racoosin for starting it!
I made this card to commemorate the time we crafted with some incredible stamp company owners, all in one big room. The sentiments I used in this card are from Hero Arts and the Ranunculus images are from Simon Says Stamp along with our Girlfriend Stamp Set. Now its time to get with your friends and color, color, color!
GIVEAWAYS: During the hop you will find lots of giveaways along the way. Comment below and Mama Elephant will select a winner for a $25 Gift Card to the mamaelephant.com shop! The full list of ALL winners from the individual blogs will be announced on The Daily Marker Sunday March 12th.
Kathy from The Daily Marker is the creator of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge”. The Challenge is a great way to gain confidence with your coloring and join in a community of positivity and coloring enthusiasts. The challenge is also a great way to get full use of your stamps and coloring mediums.
(When sharing use #TheDailyMarker30Day so Kathy can find your work)
THE GOAL IS: To color something daily even if it's a few minutes but, certainly not required. It’s been proven that coloring can lower your blood pressure & make you feel happy and relaxed so it’s worth carving out a little time for yourself each day. You will find that Kathy encourages you along the way to stretch your creativity a little bit more and to feel successful with your coloring.
CAN YOU PARTICIPATE in the 30 DAY CHALLENGE? Yes! that would be awesome if you want to participate & feel free to jump in at any time during the challenge! Everyone is welcome! If you miss a few days don’t feel like you have to catch up. The challenge is meant to be fun and with no stress.

ReplyDeleteLove the mix of products! :) So fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the sentiments. The card-making crowd seem to be such amazing cheer-leaders for each other. It's almost like each one does what they like best and celebrate the fact that other companies do other things. One thing I have learned: no one company is best at everything that appeals to me. It's wonderful to witness such non-competetive cooperation. If I am wrong, please don't tell me!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet card, creating cards for friends is one of my favorite things to do!
ReplyDeleteI'm just in love with the cute Mama Elephant images and they would be so much fun to color!
