Using Calendar Pages

 

Have you used the Mosaic Moments(TM) Calendar pages before? They are wonderful for showing all the little and big events going on during the month. Tami has a few posts to show how to use these pages in your scrapbook. Here is a bit on one of her calendar page posts:

Calendar

"I had more photos than I had spaces so, I used two half size photos (vs one large photo) to fill the large Paper Tile in the bottom left corner of the right page.

FYI - Filling in blank calendar dates with small photos or strips (as shown) is simple using the 1/8 inch grid on your Mosaic Moments Mat - each square is 1 3/8 inch wide by 1 4/8 inch high."

Challenge
July's Mosaic Moments Challenge: Photos inspired by a Series of Images

 
Choose a subject and photograph a series of images based on that subject. 

Examples of some photo series:

 Here is a page I created with my photo series:

RainDrops_web

Since I really love looking at rain drops on flowers and plants, I decided to create a series about it. I like the interesting textures and how the rain makes the flowers glisten. I went outside after it rained and took many close up shots of the flowers to show all the glittery drips and drops. I also found a little poem that fit with the theme of my photo series. This page is personal to me since it shows and expresses how I enjoy observing the rain drops.

A photo series is wonderful if you want to give your page a specific message (the tutu project is good example). It is also a great way to learn or discover a new subject. Make sure the series you choose is personal to you. Think about things you like, what messages/beliefs you have and different perspectives you would like to explore. Also take many photographs - get close ups and take photos from a distance as well.

Spotlight

Featuring Andrea's "Our Hearts are at Home"


Andrea

  AndreaIsn't Andrea's Mosaic Moments(TM) page adorable? In June the design team members were challenged to create a page featuring the alphabet, and Andrea does not disappoint! Her page has a great theme, and she took a creative approach with her photos. Having families and individuals hold up signs is a great way to add journaling and give a unique personality to a scrapbook page. Andrea inspires us to create pages based on personal messages, and how we can convey them through photos and embellishments. 

To learn more about the story behind this page, visit Andrea's post. Also, visit Journella to cheer Andrea and our other design team members.
