    Thank for the great challenge! Here is my page. I probably should have chosen a different photo, because the effect gets a bit lost in the brickwork of the ruins.

    Credits in the gallery.

    Here's my layout for today's Mosaic challenge. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro 2018 so I used a PSP script to make the Mosaic layer. That layer is made from 100 photos from my life. It's overlaid on top of one of our 45th anniversary photos.

    I'm so sorry you're struggling!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help! I believe in you! You are so creative...I can't imagine anything being UGH lol.
    Try not to stress to much! If it fits the challenge, post it...you can always work to refine it or make it more for you later ;) But definitely let me know if I can be of any help!

    Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, Jennifer! Can you move them around after you resize at all?

    I am lucky enough to be able to hang out with my scrapping friends Deborrah and Esther IRL. What a gift they are.
    My mosaic is all the photos I have taken between September 1st and December 31st since moving to Tampa! I used the second part of Jan's tutorial in PSE.

    I can, I just lose most of the photo details because if I make it so there’s no white space only half of each photo is showing. Maybe the issue is my photo choices more than anything?

    Could be. I know I had a couple of photos that ended up cropped weird or had half a face because of the resizing. But they turn out so small and blended, it's not that noticeable.

    Great, I’ll keep going with what I was doing. There’s no people in these photos so I’m sure the odd weird crop will be fine. For now though I’ll have to put the challenge to one side and do a job application….not my ideal Sunday afternoon/evening job but one that must be done.

    I hope this will count! My top photo is a picture of the sand on the beach. I'm not sure if the photos in my mosaic are small enough- please let me know if I need to redo this.

    So for all of us Elements users out there- the Mommyish pocket maker tool is a GODSEND for making tiny mosaics like this. Just sayin'.

    Here's my page... The process of creating mosaic effect was fun... but coming up with the idea was hard... once I had my collage done, I tried placing it over several photos... but nothing looked good... and of course, the actual composition... gosh... this was some serious creative work.
