I'm so excited to be hosting my first challenge for HYCCT15 and I'm thrilled to be donating a box FULL of cards for this great cause. I hope you've enjoyed the crafty month this year and have found the challenges inspiring and...challenging!
My challenge is centered around the mosaic of memories that fill our lives. These memories; whether they be happy or sad, are all gathered in our hearts and minds during our lifetime. These memories help sustain us, encourage us and even help us make changes for the better. It is this mosaic of memories that we hold most precious and dear, and not a single person worldwide can share the same. That's why I selected this theme...Mosaic Memories...because we all have a unique set of memories that make up who and what we are...Embrace them.
The challenge: Google Search "Mosaic Tiles". Search for an image that speaks to you. Recreate or use the image as inspiration for an element on your card. You might choose to create a full mosaic background or just a small mosaic element on your card. Please post your card and a link-back to the image that inspired it.
I was inspired by this mosaic image...probably because of the mix of color, the shimmer AND the uncommon shape...
You can see the card I created (and those of my fellow hostesses) that was inspired by this mosaic by checking out the gallery below.

This was a cool challenge Kerry - something different. I'm going to try to make my mosaic tile card when I get home from work. Good luck with your challenge - there are going to be some beautiful tiled cards in your challenge gallery. Can't wait to see all of them. :-)
Great challenge, Kerry! These daily challenges get us thinking in new directions, trying new techniques, using stamps & supplies we haven't used in a while. Love it!
I got a brainstorm while searching, but I don't have a specific link.
I'm late to the HYCCT challenges this year! With traveling the first two weekends, and working back to back to back twelve hour shifts in between, I first thought I just wouldn't be able to play this year. Then today (Oct. 15--the month is half gone!!!) I decided, why not try? I might not be able to do all the challenges, but even if I send ONE card, it's worth it! So into the craft room I've gone...
Wow! What a great showing of this fun challenge! I'm excited to see that this was a true challenge that stretched your creative juices and that you jumped right in to play along! I'll be looking forward to seeing so many more "tile inspired" cards in the gallery in the future! Thanks so much for playing along!
