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.

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.

Page Pattern Description: Left border is created with twelve 1 inch squares topped by a 4.375 x 2.125 inch block. Nine 1x1 inch squares sit next to a 3.25 x 5.5 inch block in the top section of the page just above a 1 x 8.875 title or Journaling spot. Under the title block are three blocks sized 6.625 x 4.375, 4.375 x 4.375, and 2.125 x 4.375.
On the page above, I "flipped" the page pattern to create a mirror image for the second page. The "flip" allowed me to continue the long title onto the second page. With a slight alteration on the second page (right page - I made two blocks into one large block), I was able to accommodate a 4x6 portrait (vertical) photo.

Page Pattern Description: Each page has three different columns, making a total of six columns for the whole two page spread.
Left Page: The first column is a border using three 2.125 squares and two sets of 1 in. squares. Starting from the top, the second column has a 4.375 square with a row of four 1 in. squares beneath it, and the bottom has a 4.375w x 5.5h block.The last column is made up of a 4.375w x 6.625 block with a 4.375 square underneath it.
Right Page: The First column has a 4.375w x 6.625 block with a 4.375 x 1 strip. Below this is a row of four 1 in. squares with two more 4.375 x 1 strips at the bottom. The middle column begins at the top with a 4.375 x 5.5 block, a row of four 1 in. squares sits below it, and the bottom of this row has a 4.375 square. The last column makes another border for this entire page with three 2.125 squares and two sets of 1 in. squares.
"Opening Presents" Is also the page pattern example for this month. A great tip is to use detail shots for the borders. On this particular page, I used the large spaces in the pattern to show my brother and sister opening the presents since these are perfect spots for portrait photos. I used photographs of some of the presents my family received on Christmas as details for the border. Another tip is to get close up shots of ornaments and other decorations in the house. Detail photos create great embellishments for Mosaic pages as shown on this page. (click on layout for a closer view)

Page Pattern Description: This two page layout has two columns of 2.125 squares on the edges of each page. The Top, middle, and bottom rows are made up of 4.375w x 3.25h blocks, with the exception of the right page which has a 4.375w x 6.625h block (which takes the place of two vertical 4.375 x 3.25 blocks) for matting a large photograph. Two long 8.875 x 1 in strips line up together on each page and make a great spot as a title or journaling.
"Pike Street Market" supplies used: This colorful page layout was created using Mosaic Moments™ 12x12 Birch grid paper. It also has Apple Crush, Carob Cream, Caribbean Breeze, and Ocean Breeze Paper Tiles™.
Tip: This page layout is wonderful for many detail shots. Whenever possible, be sure to take many close up shots of objects to make great Mosaic pages!
