TGIF, MME fans!
It's time for our monthly color inspiration! Each month I send out an image to our designers. They use this image to inspire them to create.
We share their creations here and ask you to join in. This is not a prize-based challenge, just a fun inspiration piece. We'd love to see what you come up with, too! Just link in the comments section.
Enjoy!

Hi! Tina here today with my take on the December Color Challenge! I LOVE the color challenge this month and I knew the perfect collection for creating, the new Lost & Found- Record It Antique range!
I wanted to create a project perfect for the Holidays, so I created a home decor frame that can be displayed throughout the season!
Supplies: Lost and Found Record It!- Antique:6x6 Paper Pad,Die Cut Embellishments,Pockets;Misc:
Frame: IKEA Embossing Powder: Lindy's Embossing Ink: Watermark Twine: Etsy Adhesive: Scor Tape, Imaginese (foam tape) Cardstock: American Crafts Die Cut Machine: Silhouette Cameo Clip: Tim Holtz
I used a 6x6 sheet from the paper pad, cut down to size, then layered a Lost & Found pocket on top of a journal card for a simple, yet elegant look. I die-cut my sentiment and added a couple of stars for glitz and glamour!
Another special tip: Want to dress up a plain photo mat? Try embossing it with a simple patterned stamp and coordinating embossing powder. The look is subtle, but so much more than a plain photo mat.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
Hi, everyone! This is Missy.
I was very happy to get to play with this month’s Color Inspiration piece! As soon as I saw it, I knew that the Lost & Found Record It “Antique” collection would be perfect. The colors are a great match.
I was also inspired by the shimmery glittery table cloth and the black & white stripes in the woman’s skirt. This collection is full of glitter, so I had to sort through and decide which pieces to use. I also incorporated some Chalk Studio pieces and a few more other bits from other collections.
I decided to scrap a silly photo of my husband and me in the car. He was on the phone and I was bored, so I took out my phone and just started taking goofy pictures. He was in the middle of a serious conversation and I decided to photobomb him…and it turned out completely funny! This is how most of our “romantic” dates go these days…haha!
I started with some washi tape from the Lost & Found collection and some gesso. I used one of the cute frame stamps from the Cut & Paste collection as well as an older stamp from the Collectable line. I used a template and some modeling paste to create some texture on my background. I then layered some patterned papers underneath my photo. I went for the bits & pieces next…finding various embellishments to place around the photo.

I love the silver glitter…it gets everywhere, and I’m okay with that! I like that it’s scattered over my page. This big chipboard “Bliss” is one of my favorite pieces, and it was perfect for this page.
Here you can see a lot of the texture and layers I created. Building layers is a great way to add interest and depth to your pages. I really love the “This is how we roll” layered sticker…it suits us to a tee! And I love that the stripes on it mimic the stripes in the inspiration photo.
I hope you’re inspired by this color scheme…it’s great for just about any type of photo. The embellishments are what make it unique!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
