February's Mosaic Moments Challenge is Photos inspired by Walt Disney
Choose a Walt Disney Movie and let it inspire the photos you take/use
Directions: You can choose the general movie theme or one part of the movie (such as the title, a song, a character, or a quote) to use as inspiration for your page. You can start posting on Journella with the design team on February 15th.
Here is an idea for a Walt Disney inspired Mosaic Moments Page:
One of Disney's well known films is Aladdin. This Disney movie can inspire you to take photos of three wishes you have or three items on a wish list. Take photographs of souvenirs you received from different trips (inspired by the scene where Aladdin and Jasmine travel on the carpet). Or take photos of your best friend (inspired by the song "Friend Like Me")
If you need more inspiration, check outDisney Movie Guide to see a list of all the Disney Movies. Check out Disneyclips.com to see the song lyrics for all of the Disney films.
We love Disney! We are really excited to see what Disney inspired pages you create!
Embellishing Paper Tiles - Part 1
This month on the Design Each Moment Blog I show how to decorate Paper Tiles using different methods. On the left is a picture of how I used a Rub On to create a pattern on a Paper Tile(TM). The picture on the right shows the end result of decorating a Paper Tile.
Here is a Mosaic Moments Page with the result of a decorative Paper Tile and a Paper Tile with a ribbon (directions also shown on this post):
"Love" supplies used: This page was created using Mosaic Moments(TM) White 8x8 grid paper. A Medium Peach Paper Tile(TM) and a Four Square Love Cornerstone were used as embellishments. A BasicGrey(TM) Rub On, and a blue ribbon with a heart charm were also embellishments placed on this page.

Mosaic Moments Inspired Photo: Fabric
Here is a peek at one of Tami's Mosaic Moments Inspired Photo post from January:
"Last fall we started a makeover of our daughters bedroom. At some point I'll be making a page to record the results. I decided to take detail photos of her duvet cover to create mosaic details on the page.I think fabrics are a great photo subject for Mosaic Moments pages. It is like creating your own patterned paper that also enhances a personal memory."

Featuring Heather's Dr. Seuss Inspired Page
This month we are featuring Heather Cartland's page based on Dr. Seuss's The Foot Book. Heather did a great job incorporating Dr. Seuss's story and colorful whimsy on her page. She used colors, words, and the illustrations onto her layout that were clearly influenced by the book. Her page shows fun personality and it is a great example of using inspiration from Dr. Seuss. Great Job Heather!Click here if you would like to read Heather's post. Be sure to give her and our other Mosaic Moments Members a cheer on Journella!
