This is my first Mosaic Moments layout in many years. I had forgotten how much fun it was to do them. I mostly made kits except for one I did using a crossword puzzle theme & a couple of other that I cut by hand before there were dies!
The patterns I used called for basic sets A & B plus the 4x6 grid die for 1" squares. All of these sets are in the colorized Mosaic Moments Basic Bundles Die Sets. The 4x6 Grid Die cuts 24 1" squares but the nice part is they don't cut all the way so you don't lose the pattern whether you're cutting a photo or pattern paper. When you're ready to use the squares, you just need to snip a 1' square out. For those not familiar with Mosaic Moments, they have special cardstock with quide marks for placing the squares & rectangles. For this layout, I used MM Red Cardstock which I'm not crazy about for these photos but it does match the American Crafts DSP plus I had limited colors of the grid paper.
Pattern No. 580 - Mosaic Style. This pattern calls for 3 photos, Basic Die Set A & B with the 1" grid die. Because of the size of the ticket I used in lieu of a photo, I changed out Set A for Set D
The top 4x6 photo followed the pattern & is placed on a mat cut by the die. Since the ticket was larger, I used Set D which add another row but I still had to cut it down. This also allowed me to add my journaling. Because I used another row of squares for the ticket, the photo on the bottom left would have been the same number of rows so I changed it's size from a square to a rectangle.
Pattern No. 506 - Mostly Squares. This pattern calls for 9 photos & the Basic Die Set A with the 1" grid die.
All the photos worked well with the die size so I didn't need to make any changes to the pattern. I also chose this pattern because I felt the 1" DSP squares flowed well from those on the left page into the right page.
I'm looking forward to use more of the Mosaic Moments dies including their specialty dies!
TFL!
