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 43 - Striped Background

Pattern Description: A striped background works to highlight the main focal photo on this page pattern that utilizes three horizontal shots.

Block Sizes: Ten (striped) blocks are 1 x 5.5 inches. Top focal photo mat size 4.375 x 6.375 (photo size 4 x 6). A 1x12 inch strip creates the border style journal spot. Two lower photo spots 3.25 x 5.5. Ten 1x1 inch blocks create the bottom border.

 

Materials used: Mosaic Moments 12x12 Petal Pink Grid Paper, Basic Grey (6x6 inch) patterned paper, Marvy strawberry punch, white cardstock (used to mat top photo.)

Tip: Add a little removable adhesive to the back of your patterned paper before placing on your mat (just like you would a photo) to quickly cut 1 x 5.5 inch strips for background stripes.
