Finally Thirteen - by Tami Potter

This is one of my favorite page patterns. In this case I chose to fill the entire page with photos. The 2.125 x 2.125 inch blocks make great embellishment spots. Use them to add a little of your favorite patterned paper or stamp designs. I used the bottom border on the page to add a little hand written title - "Finally 13."

Mosaic Moments pattern 47 - Flip It - Mosaic Style

Page Pattern Description: Top row - left to right: 3.25h x 4.375w, 3.25h x 3.25w, and 3.25h x 3.25w. Next - Six 2.125h x 2.125w inch blocks are positioned beside a 6.625h x 4.375w inch mat. Several 1x1 inch blocks finish the page with mosaic style.

Tampa Busch Gardens by Tami Potter

Page Note: I decided to use one 4x6 photo to fill the Six 2.125 inch squares shown. I cut my photo into six 2x2 inch squares - which of course didn't fit the grid. so, I used my 2.125 inch square punch to create six mats and I layered my 2x2 inch photo squares on top.

I show a lot of page patterns using just one 12x12 page. You might wonder... "How can I create a double page spread using one pattern?"

Here is one suggestion:

Flip it! and create a mirror image for the second page.

(Flipped pattern shown below)

Mosaic Moments pattern 42 - Title and Journaling Stacks

.

Pattern Description: A large focal spot (mat size 5.5w x 6.625h) is flanked by Title and Journal Stacks.  

Block sizes (clockwise from upper left): Three 3.25w x 1 inch title strips, 5.5w x 6.625h mat, 2.125w x 3.25h photo block, three 2.125 x 1 inch journal strips, two 3.25 x 2.125 inch photo blocks, one 5.5w x 4.375h photo spot, two 2.125 x 2.125 inch squares, and one 3.25 x 3.25 inch photo block.

Materials used: Mosaic Moments 12x12 Navy Grid Paper. Cosmo Cricket patterned paper and chip board embellishment. Basic Grey sticker letters.

Snow Day detail:

I decided I wanted to use a photo, instead of journaling, on the right, where I suggested "journal stacks." A trail of footprints left in the snow gave me the "perfect" option.

Turned out it was "almost perfect" - the 4x6 photo came up a little short for the space allowed. The top block measures 3.25 inch, I needed 3 additional 1 inch strips; but, I could only get two.

I used the lack of adequate photo height as an opportunity to add a patterned paper border for embellishment. What would a snow day page be without a little hot cocoa. :)

Mosaic Moments pattern 40 - Border Design with 10+ photo spots

.

Page Pattern Description: This pattern is built for multiple photos in multiple sizes. The large centered focal spot is 4.375w x 6.625h.

Page above created on Mosaic Moments Mist Grid Paper.

Amusement Parks have so many fun details and I love taking pictures of them. I let the photo of the sign  in the top left corner serve as a page title.

Mosaic Moments pattern 38 - Column & Rows

Using a grid makes it easy to create designs using multiple widths of columns (green) and rows (blue, purple, pink).

.

Page Pattern Description: Left border strip makes a great place for title and/or journaling. Six large blocks create three rows in the remaining space.

Mosaic Moments pattern 37 - Seven Spot Puzzle Pattern

I call patterns with no clear columns or rows, as shown below, "Puzzle Patterns" because they are created by interlocking, or should I say "inter-blocking," squares and rectangles.

Page Pattern Description: 5-7 photo spots create a "puzzle style" page. Use border strips for journaling or embellish with a favorite stamp as shown below.

"M&M World - Times Square" by Tami Potter

When I thought about creating this page I knew I wanted to use close up shots of the M&M candy (which I had not taken in NY). Thankfully M&M's are not difficult to find. Kevin offered to pick up a bag at the store on the way home. I placed the candy in a pie pan and snapped several shots before it began to "mysteriously" disappear.

I let the photos act as my title and journaling (only adding names, location, and date to the side of the upper right mat.)

Mosaic Moments pattern 26 - Top Border and Mosaic style

.

Page Pattern Description: A multi-photo border across the top of this page is a great way to show off a collection of of great shots. Below the border a centered focal spot can be used for journaling or for that one special shot. Pattern calls for mosaic cut photos which wrap around two smaller (2.125 x 3.25in) photo spots and a larger (4.375 x 3.25in) photo or journaling spot located just below the central focal spot.

Add two 3.25 inch square spots, a 3.25 x 2.125 inch spot and a 4.375 x 5.5 inch spot and you have a page ready to show off between 4 - 10 photos.

Mosaic Moments pattern 17 - Inspired by the Bricklayer

Page Pattern Description: Inspired by stacked bricks, a row of 2.125 x 1 inch "strips" creates a border across the top of the page. (A great opportunity to show off a row of flowers as shown below.) Below the striped border a 11.125"w x 1"h  border strip is a perfect place for a page title. The lower section of the page is made up of rectangular blocks. In the center two 5.5w x 3.25h blocks show off two focal photos. The next row is made up of three 2.125 inch high blocks: one - 2.125w, one 5.5w, and one 3.25w. The bottom border is 2.125 h x 11.125w.

Mosaic Moments pattern 13 - Nine Spot - with a large central focus

.

Page Pattern Description: A large (6.625x4.375 in) centered mat is the perfect way to draw attention to that one special photo. Two 4.375 x 3.25 in spots can be used for photos or make great spots for a title and journaling. Use additional spots for smaller photos or to add decorative elements.

Mosaic Moments pattern 12 - Nine Spot Pinwheel Page

This Pinwheel Style page pattern is one of my favorites because it creates multiple horizontal and vertical spots. You can find several variations of the "pinwheel" through out my scrapbook albums. I'll show them on future posts.

Day at the Zoo

Because I used the pattern to create a double page spread, I altered my pattern a little - adding two photos to the center sections. (I still had plenty of room for a title and journaling.) I also used one photo to fill in "two spots" as that worked best for the photos I selected.
