Mosaic Moments® is a photo-centric system of scrapbooking where embellishments are not needed. But, sometimes it can be fun to add embellishments to a layout -- especially during the holidays.

Here are 13 ways to add embellishments to your layouts. And, while these all have a holiday feel, you can certainly use these techniques with any theme.

Stickers are easy to stick on a layout.

Here, Jodi added heart stickers and pattern paper from Bella Blvd in place of some of her elements. It's an adorable way to share the love.

For this layout, Candy made her own pattern paper with washi tape, then cut it up with the stocking, presents and frame dies. It gives a unique texture and additional depth to the layout.

To make your own paper, simply adhere strips of coordinating washi tape onto white cardstock until the entire paper is covered. Then, die cut just like you would pattern paper.

It's a great technique to try.

Note: Tim Holtz Washi Tape and Reminisce paper were used.

Did you know that Tami Potter has designed dozens of FREE downloads? These designs include numbers, letters, journaling blocks, embellishments and more. They fit the grid when printed at 100%.

You simply visit the SnapNCrop.com store, "buy" them, and then download them after receiving the emailed link. Then you print them, cut them apart and adhere.

This one is called Holiday Blocks. You can find many more, here.

Many die cuts can also be enhanced with glitter, ink, chalk, enamel dots, gems and other supplies.

For this one, Candy created garland on the Fir Tree with glitter glue. Then she added tiny paper hearts (pieces that came out of the snowflake die) and Nuvo Dream Drops to make ornaments on the tree.

Nuvo Glitter Drops and Dream Drops were also used to color in and enhance the Crystal Die Cut.

Note: Papers from Lawn Fawn

Many of the dies from Mosaic Moments® have shapes that can be used with or without the border that fits the grid.

Here, Jodi used the Snowflake Die Set on it's own, without it's framed border.

She also used the mittens from the Mittens Border. We love how she colored them and layed them on the woodgrain pattern paper.

Note: Papers from Pink Paislee

Many paper companies, including Creative Memories shown here, sell coordinating die cuts with their collections. These elements make fun accents to fill in when you do not have enough photos, like Candy did with the gnomes, here.

She also added a few die-cut words to the photos and used a journaling block, trimmed down with a Mosaic Moments® die, to record her memories.

Remember, the only rule is to cover the grid lines, and once that is done, you can add layers of fun.
