MOSAIC MOMENTS® PRESENTS:

"Soccer Game" by Paije Potter - Pattern #446

Hello

The first Olympic games I remember watching was in 1976. The whole world fell in love with a gymnast from Romania, Nadia Comăneci. There were probably a few little girls who wanted to toss out their ballet slippers for a chance to compete on a big mat after watching her flips. She was amazing!

As much as I enjoyed Nadia as a child, I don't think there is anything more thrilling than watching those who are near and dear to your heart participate in sports.

We are dedicating this week to sports, in honor of the Summer Olympics, and in celebration of all of our own athletes.

I hope you enjoy our design team's inspiring pages with their personal sports memories.

Have a you're-worth-it week!

Dies Perfect for Sports Layouts

"JHS Indoor Track" (Side A) by Amanda Jones

All the dies shown in the examples in this email are perfect for sports photos, and the Dial Die is especially suited for race sports.

We have been inspired to make the shape of a track with the Dial dies as the "turns". The "straights" can be made with any variety of mats, three grid spaces in height. Amanda used two 3x5 mats on the first page of her layout. Although the photos don't perfectly align, it's close enough that it still looks like a continuous track.

The key is to use the same color for the Dial die cuts and the mats. If possible, you may want to crop your photos so only 0.125 in.(1/8th) of the mat shows-- the same width as the outlines of the Dial dies. You can use the largest layering die from the Layering Die Bundle that fits your chosen mat. Amanda also used white cardstock inside the "track" and the small Dial die pieces to make the inside section look like the inside of a real track. The bright white color further emphasizes the track shape which distracts your eye from the slight inconsistency of the turn (the green curve of the Dial Die) and the 3x5 green mats.

"JHS Indoor Track" (Full) by Amanda Jones

Here you can see the full two page spread.

The Dial die sections give you a sense of movement with the track photos as your eye follows the photos around the curves. Sports pictures fit nicely in each wide curved Dial section.

The Pieces dies that come in the set make filling the small portions easy. Take your time to make sure you have the correct alignment and placement. Amanda placed her title in the large white 4x5 section, and on the right side she placed her action shot of the baton hand-off during the team relay race.

You can also use the Dial die to make winding curved pathways on your two page spread that would be excellent for cross country, triathlon, or motorsports photos.

This Layout Features: 12x12 Black Grid Paper, Dial And Pieces Die Set (L3), small stars from the Stitches & Stars Banner Die (L1) and USA Stitched Frame (L1), the Layering Die Bundle Colored A-L through E-L (L1), and the Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored (L1). Pattern paper from Maggie Holmes™.

The Ball is in Your Court with Horizon Dies

"Let's Go!" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #679

Horizon Dies (and Soleil Dies) are the best for sports layouts because they can look like a ball or a hockey puck.

They also are really exciting for other sports because they can center all of your photos inside a circle as if it was a spotlight for all the action. You can see what we mean with Jodi's cheerleading layout above. All of the great shots of her granddaughter's cheering fit inside the Discover Level (L2) circle. The Horizon 4x5 dies come with a layering die that nicely frames your subject. The Horizon 3x3 dies include a small section of the circle and Jodi used those spaces to her advantage by adding detail shots there-- the bows, the water bottle, the cheerleading bag, and the cheerleading shoes.

Jodi also played up the colors of her team by using yellow pattern paper and purple embellishments for the outside pieces of the Horizon circle. And it all really pops on the 12x12 Grass Grid Paper.

Try an exciting sports layout with the Horizon dies or the Soleil dies which give you a similar sized circle. You can make your page look like a basketball, a soccer ball, a tennis ball, a baseball, or a hockey puck and much more.

This Layout Features: 12x12 Grass Grid Paper from the Weekend Collection, Horizon 4x5 Die Set (L2), Horizon 3x3 and 3x4 dies, Numbers 2 Die Set (L1), and Alphabet 2 Die Set (L1). Pattern paper from Bella Blvd™.

Stadium Seating? No Problem with the X Factor Dies

"BYU Game Day" by Tami Potter - Pattern #368

X Factor dies have small spaces (small design spots)- which help you focus on the players when the photos are taken at a distance, like in a large stadium.

The X Factor dies are one of our favorite dies for sports for not only working well with long distance sport shots, but because of the leading lines and x's. Your eyes will keep going back again and again around your page.

Tami made a bright blue and white layout with the X Factor dies to celebrate one of her favorite teams, BYU. As one of the very first X Factor pages, this one has stood the test of time and is always fun and interesting to look at.

Tami filled her X Factor 4x4 corners with blue cardstock so it looks like it flows into the X Factor 2x4 center triangular sections. It's hard to see where one die ends and the other begins. They look like they are all one unit making multiple diamonds. You can see how the smaller images fit nicely in the 2x4 die sections.

The X Factor Collection includes eight die sets and can become your go-to for sports pages. They are always ready for action whether you are up close at the sidelines or far away in the bleachers.

This Layout Features: 12x12 Prussian Blue Grid Paper, X Factor 4x4 Plus Nested Die Set (L3), X Factor 2x4 Die (L3), and the Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored (L1).

The All-Star Page Kit features a new star frame, specially designed for this kit.

An extremley easy way to embellish this kit would be to put cardstock colors matching your team behind the stars or letters. Or you can use this kit as is; straight from the package and add your sports photos for a completed and finished look.

This sports kit, All-Star Page Kit, is certain to be your favorite for a long time, so be sure to add this to your stash on Friday during the Summer of Champions Sale!
