A few years ago, I was inspired to make albums pages for my brothers and sisters of the boys for Christmas. I used their school photos and made 8×8 pages and included the album the first year. Then I wasn’t too good and keeping up. I am trying to catch up. While doing these mosaic mondays, I realized that doing one mosaic and having it printed would be easier and quicker than doing 8 layouts (that includes my family and my husband’s). I also realized that my candids were way better than the school portraits. So here is the first one, including shots from fall 2007.
I know I have used the same template for the 3 mosiacs I have done, but I actually made quite a few for future use. I have 3 of the 8×8 templates for you to download if you wish.

Oh, I always love candid shots the best! I never had any formal studio shots taken of my kids, and their school photos are on a shelf, gathering dust. But I treasure the candids. :) Thanks so much for sharing your talent at Mosaic Monday. :)
Thank you for the templates…I snagged one. Love this idea!
Thank you so much for the templates! Love those ‘mug’ shots – very cute :)
I love how expressive the boys are :) Their grins and smiles make me smile.
I love this idea.
Working with digital photos surely does change our options doesn’t it?
In a good way, I think.
Have a happy Monday!
