There isn't a lot of space on an 8x8 page; so, using multiple large photos isn't really an option. One of the techniques I like to use on 8x8 Mosaic Moments pages is embedding. Embedding is a way to sort of wrap an image around another image.
Embedding is a great way to show an image of a person and a glimpse of the view (what the person is looking) at - at the same time. See the image below.
I used two images on this page:
I used the top and bottom (of the second image) to go across the top of the 8x8 page:
and bottom of the page:
I used what I could from the sides - and filled in with extra squares as needed (see image below). (Kind of a cheating technique.)
Challenge: Create a 8x8 Mosaic Moments page with a photo border (embedding technique). Post your pages on Journella.com or your blog.
Well, I took a few minutes between laundry loads to sit and put together a page using this technique. You can see it if you follow this link to Journella...

A very quick and easy technique...will be doing more like this...perfect to document my granddaughter who is now five months old...one page for each month...add in calendar pages that are a bonus this month when you buy a We R Memories 8x8 linen album available ON SALE here, NOW!!! Don't miss them!
