May's Mosaic Moments Challenge: Monochromatic Photos

 Choose a Color and let it inspire the photos you take.

As I thought about this page I decided to use Orange. After brainstorming, I took photographs of objects I found around my house that represent what I think of this color. Here is a page example using Monochromatic photographs:

Orange_web

When creating this page think of a specific theme and mood you would like to portray. This will help you brainstorm what type of photographs to take when you pick your color. Think of themes that say something about you or something you would like to remember in your life.

I also made the page itself monochromatic. I used 12x12 White grid paper. I found a sheet of orange pattern paper and I used Tangelo Blast and Medium Peaches and Cream Paper Tiles(TM) to match with my Orange theme. Also have fun creating your page. Since I took a photograph of orange crayons I decided to draw my titles with crayons.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tips&techs
Creating a Mini Book
 
 
You can do more with your 12x12 grid paper other than creating scrapbook pages. One idea is to create a Mini Book as shown in this post. It makes a great Mother's Day gift or a brag book.

Here is a peek at the new Design Each Moment post featuring May's Paper Tiles(TM) Trio:

Mosaic Moments Inspired Photo: Beautiful Scenery


Here is a peek of Tami's Mosaic Moments Inspired Photo post from April:

DSC_0148

"One of the best features of the Mosaic Moments(TM) system is a unique ability to recreate the feeling of being "there".

When I go to a place where the scenery is beautiful, I try to capture a panoramic view with multiple snaps taken in consecutive order. When I put them together on my scrapbook page it takes me back to that beautiful spot, soaking in the surroundings, enjoying the moment."

Spotlight

Featuring Shannon's Blast from the Past


Blast

ShannonCheck out Shannon's "Far Out" Mosaic Moments(TM) layout. This month the design team was challenged to create a page inspired by the decade they were born. Shannon's page totally says 70's! Her layout is colorful, fun and shows off her personality. She chose fun colors and fonts that fit into her decade. She also picked photographs that fit with the challenge.

Shannon created a layout that inspires us to have fun with our pages and to look at inspirational styles from the past. She did a good job portraying the decade she was born, and her photos and her page layout fit together to create her theme.

You can check out Shannon's post here. Cheer Shannon and the rest of the Design Team Members each month on Journella.

http://blog.tamipotter.com/.a/6a00d8341ccf3353ef0168e4901410970c-piLast month we gave out a challenge to get at least 50 individuals to cheer on Journella. Only 8 people (outside of the Design Team) cheered :(  We really need some more Team Spirit! Although we feature some of the pages on Facebook, we still need cheers on Journella.
