TIP FOUR: Use paper tiles for speedy pages!Yes, you will find that the pre-cut paper tiles come in a variety of colors and go with just about any grid color and your photos too.
Pattern #234
Scallop Dot Mat Die from Mosaic Moments
Pattern #234 is a Column style pattern and has 4 squares that will be a perfect setting for the Scallop Dot Mat Die. Different from the other Die Sets that we offer, this one does not fit to the grid, but sits on top of a paper tile that does. The size of the photos that you add can vary; this page shows off three options.
• The 4×4 block is topped with scallop mat; add a 3×3 paper tile and a photo trimmed by hand to 3” square.

• The two 3×3 blocks are topped with the middle scallop dot mat then topped with photos trimmed to 2.5” square.
Scallop Dot Mat Die Medium Mat Photo trimmed to 2.5″ sq. and Scallop corner tiles
In addition to three scallop dot mat dies in this set, there is a scallop corner die that is applied to each of two paper tiles to frame the title and journal blocks. Small buttons with paper floss ties top each of the corner tiles using colors drawn from the pattern paper and paper tiles.
The pattern paper also plays a big part in this layout because it is a part of the story, it matches the fabric of the receiving blanket that my granddaughter is wrapped in. It is Doodlebug Design flannel and I just HAD to buy some and make a blanket before I knew if it was a boy or girl. It was well worth the purchase as it’s everyone’s favorite blanket!
The paper isn’t boy/girl specific so the grid paper was the place to bring in a nice deep pink shade, Strawberry to say “it’s a girl.” The paper tiles are in complimentary shades of icy indigo, periwinkle and robins egg pulled from the pattern paper.
