MOSAIC MOMENTS® PRESENTS:
"Currituck Beach Lighthouse" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #344
Hello
Not everyone agrees on the value of things. Example: Disney Parks have become increasingly crowded and increasingly expensive. Many people ask, "Is a Disney Vacation worth what you pay?" So far, I am a "yes" for Disney; however, as much as I love it, I feel the need to reevaluate occasionally. "Is this still the best use of our vacation funds?"
Every now and then, you may wonder, “Is Mosaic Moments really worth it?”
Honestly—I think Jodi’s page (above) says it best. Just look at what she created using the Corolla dies. The curves pull you in, the photos tell a story, and the whole layout has that “wow” factor that makes people stop, look closer, and linger a little longer.
That’s
what makes Mosaic Moments so special. The dies—like Corolla—aren’t one-and-done tools. You can use them over and over again to create pages that are totally different each time. They give you flexibility, beauty, and a design that brings your photos front and center.
And if you
keep scrolling, you’ll see even more ways to use the Corolla dies from our amazing design team (and me!). We’ve each found a way to make this same die look completely unique. It’s so inspiring to see how one tool can stretch your creativity in so many directions.
If you want pages
that make people say, “How did you do that?”—this is how. It’s simple, it’s fun, and yes… it’s absolutely worth it.
Have a you're-worth-it week!
Tami Potter

If you’ve ever seen a Mosaic Moments layout and thought, “There’s no way mine could look that good,” take a deep breath—because yes, you absolutely can make pages that incredible. And Corolla is one of the tools that helps make that magic happen.
This layout from our design team member Paije is such a beautiful example. She used three of the dies in the set to create a stunning bi-circular frame around the journaling block. The curved corners guide your eye across the page and make everything feel connected. And don’t miss how she balanced those bright, detailed flower close-ups in the corners—they bring a soft energy to the page and make it feel full of life.
Corolla might look fancy, but it’s completely beginner-friendly. It still fits perfectly on the Mosaic Moments Grid, so you’re never guessing if things will line up (spoiler: they always do). Whether you’re featuring flowers, family, or a day at the zoo, the curves add just the right amount of flair.
So if you’ve been wondering if curved dies are for you—this is your sign. Try Corolla. You’ll be amazed how quickly your pages go from “meh” to “marvelous.”

There’s just
something special about beach layouts, isn’t there?
Tami’s “Duck 2023” page captures that peaceful coastal vibe perfectly—with gentle curves, sandy tones, and of course, plenty of seashells. She used the Corolla Dies to frame her
photos in a beautiful, flowing design that makes you feel like you're right there, walking down the boardwalk toward the water. And can we talk about that clever title strip? The tiny shell shapes inside the letters add just the right touch of personality!
One of the coolest things
about the Corolla die cuts is how many different looks you can create. Want a more subtle design? Let the arcs stay within their own corners. Want something more dynamic? Let the curves cross over into neighboring squares to hint at two full circles—or even four. You get to decide how bold or soft the page feels.
Whether you love keeping things simple and scenic like Tami did, or you’re ready to go all out with vibrant patterns and punchy photos, there’s a Corolla layout that’ll fit your style. And since everything’s built on the Mosaic Moments Grid, it’s easy to get results that look polished—even if you’re just starting out.
The Corolla Dies make it fun to play, experiment, and bring your beach (or any!) memories to life.

"Water Country August 2024" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #344
Dies needed to create this look:
Corolla Part 1 & Part 2
Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored
If you've ever wanted to create a scrapbook page that feels full of movement and energy, Jodi’s Water Country layout is the perfect inspiration!
At first glance, all those curves might look tricky—but thanks to the Corolla
Dies and the Mosaic Moments grid system, it’s totally doable (even if you're just starting out). This cheerful design hints at four soft circles with pieces that dance across the page—without needing any artistic guesswork.
Using vibrant blues, tropical florals, and
yellow striped patterned paper, this layout beautifully supports the fun of a summer waterpark adventure. The Corolla Dies make it easy to mix patterned paper and photos, and because the curves can overlap or stand alone, you get endless creative options. Whether you're creating intersecting curves, connecting two circles, or crafting a layout where arcs cross over one another, the system helps you every step of the way—so your page turns out beautifully balanced without the stress.
This page is proof: you don’t need to be a design expert to make something eye-catching and full of joy. Just grab your Corolla Dies, choose your favorite summer snapshots, and let the grid do the hard part. You’ve got this! 💦☀️

Tami's Chatty Side-Notes:
A recommendation and a confession:
🛒 Something in my Amazon shopping cart:THISWORKS Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. I got a free sample of this product when I stayed at a Marriott hotel. I
saved it and tried it months later. I sometimes have a hard time falling to sleep - this stuff really helped!
🍿 I am open to change: Last time I mentioned that I am not a big fan of Christmas movies in July.Then, last weekend, I watched the the first in a four part Hallmark Movie
series about 4 friends who own a gift wrap business. It is a Christmas series and I really enjoyed it (even though it is July).
