Last summer, I wanted to send a small photo book as a thank you for a weekend visit to our nephew in Pennsylvania. My iPhone held snapshots from our tour of Hershey Park, fun blue-berry picking and next-morning pancake extravaganza with the kids, and a burger and sundae outing at the local diner.I selected my favorite photos, applied a little cropping and tweaked the color. Mosaic did the rest.

   Download the Mosaic App for iPhone and Android from the app store for your device.
2. Start Creating
   Click the Create a New Mosaic button and your camera roll will appear.

   Choose the photos you want to use, or import photos from Facebook. Exactly twenty photos must be selected. Click NEXT when you’re finished selecting photos.
4. Preview and order
   Tap the book to view the pages. Your photos will automatically fill the twenty-page book. Shuffle the cover photos displayed in the unique mosaic cutout. When you like the results, place your order.
5. Enjoy!
