See how to make your Mosaic Moments pages a piece of art with Andrea's newest post. She shows different techniques to add onto the grid paper, such as embossing, inking, and printing your journaling. Her post is loaded with many ideas to be inspired by.
Here is a peek of her recent post: "In a few short weeks the calendar will say spring has arrived even though the last vestiges of winter will remain for many weeks to come, at least it will around here! The first sign of spring for many of us will be that yearly event to set our clocks ahead an hour as we
"spring" forward. I don't look forward to missing an hour of sleep! Our thoughts may leap forward to the plans for warmer weather, the end of school or summer vacations. We may also look back at the winter and all we accomplished or survived (if your winter was like ours!) Inevitably our thoughts and plans revolve around one precious commodity...TIME."

This is Part 2 of March's guide to creating a page based on the popular science fiction book, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Last week we listed different ways to draw inspiration from the story and the science fiction genre.
Below is our Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy inspired page:
We love those famous words spoken by Buzz Lightyear - "To Infinity and Beyond!" Creating a science fiction themed page is a great time to go all out! You can have fun creating different cut
outs and experimenting with different textures. I used the following materials to create A Sci-Fi Lover's Guide to Disney" - Black Mosaic Moments 12x12 grid paper, and Huckleberry and Green Paper Tiles. Embellishments include: Black glitter Paper, Metallic Silver Chalk Ink, foil leaf on Sticky Face squares.
I enjoyed testing products and using them in unconventional ways.
How I used the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as inspiration:My Inspiration List- Title: I was inspired by the Book Title (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) so I created my own version of the title - "A Sci-Fi Lover's Guide to Disney"
- Colors: My main Colors were Black (Since it reminds me of images of outer space), Blue, Green, (I wanted to colors to brighten up the image since it is a more humorous story) and Silver (this reminds me of metals). I also included
purple as an accent color to add a little whimsy to my page.
- Science Fiction Font: If you look at the main title, this is clearly a Science fiction inspired font. (This is Space Age, you can download it for free here.) The font alone says "this page is all about Science Fiction". Note: Use the Special fonts for your titles only - use a basic font for the rest of your journaling since it is easier to read.
- Phrases: I used a phrase often seen with this book ("The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything: 42"), but made it
""The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything Disney". I used this as a subtitle to let the viewer know this page is all about tips at Disney World. This fits with the overall theme of the page.
- Icons & Imagery: For this page I mainly used imagery of stars and planets - relating to travels in the galaxy. I used a glitter paper to represent the starry sky, and used several sizes of round punches to represent
planets. Several of the circles were made by using Sticky Face Stickers and adding Foil leaves on them - this makes the circle look like little moons.
This is close up shot to show some of the imagery. I have several circles representing planets. I also used special stickers to make certain images pop for a 3D look. I wanted to make the
character, a photo of Stitch (cut into a silhouette) look as if he is popping out at you!
- Texture: I definitely used some shine! I used foil leafing to add shine. This added
great texture since it looks like a shiny metal and craters on a moon. I also created texture by adding a metallic silver chalk ink onto Paper Tiles. I was inspired by one of the photos last week and made it look like a distressed silver metal. Here are some close up shots of the textures on this page:
- The Theme I incorporated into my page
is based on a traveling theme. In "Hitchhiker's Guide," the main characters use an actual guide to help them during their travels. My page is a guide on how to have a Science Fiction Adventure at Disney World. Here I give tips and descriptions of each of the rides and entertainment.
Books are a great source of inspiration. I love how choosing a book can
help me to be more creative and use my imagination. Consider using your favorite sci-fi movie or book as inspiration for your next scrapbook layout. Adding a theme is fun and your page will stand out in your album since it is so unique! |
