My mother made many quilts over the years. Some of the most cherished included fabric scraps from clothing she made for us. I love the idea of making my "scraps" useful like she did. Mosaic Pages are a great way to use those bits and pieces that are left over from a variety of projects.
With just a few small paper scraps, a sheet of 12x12 Mosaic Moments Grid Paper, and a little time, a lovely scrapbook page can be created. In the page below I used my paper scraps to create a border around the edge of my page by alternating 1 x 1 inch squares and 2.125 x 1 inch rectangles.
Supplies used: 12x12 White Mosaic Moments Grid Paper, scraps of Basic Grey patterned paper, Mosaic Moments PaperTiles.
Things we saw while we watched the sun rise:
1. A tractor raking the sand.
2. Surfers catching early morning waves.
3. Dolphins.
CHALLENGE: Use photo or paper scraps to make a border around your next scrapbook page (share it on Journella.com or your own blog) include a list of the things you saw or did.
Add your list to our comments for a chance to win our snapncrop.com drawing.
I did this for a page in the album about our trip to Hawaii several years ago. I took photos of the orchid leis, all laid close together on the bed, thinking I'd use it blown up as a background paper. In the end, I did a mosaic page, using these flower pictures to surround a magazine article telling about the leis. Used a similar technique with photos of the ship's wake around cruise pictures. I love Mosaic!!
