They look great! How do you cut out that tiny narrow umbrella handle on the one with the monkey? Was he from the card class last Fall?

very carefully, i made it a tiny bit thicker with a black pen.
He might have been - it's a set with animals, balloons and sayings. I think Mama Elephant (can't check, at work!)

Mama Elephant sounds familiar.

Nancy you are rocking this 30 day deal! Just adorable and you know I love those flowers!

I must post my catch ups also. I have been coloring everyday but haven't photographed any for days and days.

My turn to play catch up. I have actually been coloring one way or another, just not necessarily what Kathy Racoosin has been suggesting...well not even close in most cases. But this has been terrific getting me to just make something colorful every day.

Days 10, 11, 12...

Day 10: The triple panel sets are an unknown stamp belonging to a friend. My so called coloring is just using Distress Inks on Matte Coat paper.
Day 11: A fun little stamp from Unity using Pitt Pens on glossy card stock. I was just fooling around with papers. The colors didn't move very well on this type of card stock.
Day 12: This set of birds are possibly from Inkadinkadoo or Fiskars. It's not in it's original packaging. Zig Clean Color Brush Markers on watercolor paper.

Continued catching up:

Lots of butterflies!

Day 13: I was recently gifted the new Stampin' Up! set Watercolor Wings! I LOVE THIS SET. The butterflies have multiple layers to play with plus some die cuts. This is a great test for me because I can be really lame in selecting colors. But the possibilities of this set are endless.
Day 14: This butterfly again belongs to a friend and I played with it using Distress Ink pads and markers.
Day 15: Here is my attempt to duplicate Jennifer McGuire's coloring with embossing powders in layers...FAIL! Really, my embossing powders just don't show up. I guess I need to use the kind Jennifer uses...WOW embossing powders. Mine just soaked into the paper pretty much. But the idea of layering the colored powders is fun. You just need really opaque powders for it to work well.

Two more to go...

Finally caught up!

Day 16: Back to the SU Watercolor Wings set. This time using watercolor paper and Distress Ink pads and markers to make an all over random background.
Day 17: This bird on a limb is something I found on the internet over a year ago and finally used it. Cut from my KNK I used the Zig Clean Color Brush Markers...I now have a few more colors.

Okay that's it. Hopefully I won't get so behind in my posting...hopefully.

Wow! You all have been rockin' the coloring challenge. I must say while they are all stunning I have a thing for butterflies and Farley they are gorgeous.

[mpizzazz]

Wow, Farley, that bird diecut gets my top vote. That is so cool!
I'm inspired now to get out all my butterfly stamps and play.

Amazing coloring!!! And a great way to get some cards made ahead of time, too....

Thanks for sharing all your catching up!!

You gals are rocking this challenge. I'm so far behind I can't make comments. But I'm loving it all and finding it inspirational. I had ambitious hopes of coloring in the motel rooms at night but Mom and Lexi kept me busy with Phase 10 and Skip-Bo. So in that way, I'm JUST LIKE Jen McGuire.
