A new version of the 6x6 Paper Pad Challenge!

As I was walking through Hobby Lobby the other day I was drawn to all the photo mat sized paper.  Such awesome patterns in such a fun small pad!  I started thinking that they were a perfect size for cards and wondered just what I could come up with in the style of the 6x6 paper pad challenge.  I talked myself down to grabbing only one (that day!) and headed home with my mind brewing.  OM Goodness check out 'Oh My Lemons'!  What a bright and fun pad of paper!

I wanted to make some cards to give to my students who just completed our first ever dinner theatre performance so I started with those.

The kids seemed to really enjoy them and I even heard from some parents who loved them as well.  =)  From there I tried a few new sketches and put together more of my own designs.
