1. Cut paper scraps into strips of varying widths. Remember: smaller strips are more time-consuming when adhering later.

2. Next, cut the strips at various angles. Repeat cutting on at least four different colors.

3. Trim a sheet of double-sided adhesive to measure 6" x 9".

4. Arrange the small pieces onto a sheet of adhesive in a mosaic fashion (figure A). Do not allow the pieces to touch. Cover the entire sheet of adhesive, leaving spaces in between pieces.

5. Pour embossing powder over the project, and use your finger to rub the powder into the exposed adhesive. Brush off the excess powder, and heat with a craft tool (figure B).

6. Use a sharp craft knife and ruler to cut an opening in the mosaic to fit the photo. Measure and cut a black photo matte 1/4" larger than the mosaic frame with the opening for the photo in the middle.

7. Add journaling and a title to the page.
