Ever flip through your stash and realize… none of your papers actually match your photos or embellishments? 🙋♀️ We’ve all been there. Instead of stressing (or buying more paper), let me show you a fun trick: Marker Mosaic Magic!

This easy technique transforms plain cardstock into a custom mosaic background that matches anything. And the best part? You can try it this Friday with Free Sketch #15, featuring a 9-photo layout.
Why Try the Marker Mosaic Technique?
- It’s budget-friendly (use what you already have).
- It’s customizable (any colors, any vibe).
- It makes your scrapbook layouts and handmade cards look unique and polished.
- It saves you from the “nothing matches” panic moment every crafter knows.
In the video, I walk you step-by-step through the technique, plus how to apply it directly into this week’s free sketch.
