The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #16 - "Photo Inspiration"

Welcome to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #16
"Photo Inspiration"!


For the month of September, we ask that you create something inspired by our Inspiration Photo - the colors, shapes, textures, etc...

NOTE: We would like to thank Christy Buchanan from The Painted Picket for allowing us to use this photo of her amazingly artsy "She Studio" in Winnsboro, South Carolina. I took tons of pictures there and found it so very inspiring. To find out more about Christy and her artwork check out her Web Page All Things Painted


Announcements


Before we get started with more information on our September Challenge, we have a couple of announcements to make.

Help us welcome our new Design Team Member, our August Guest Designer, Lisa Adametz from Papergrace.com  We LOVE Lisa's fun and eclectic mixed media style and we are thrilled that she has agreed to join our design team. Be sure to check out her blog and welcome her to the MMMC!!
