From the One Sheet Wonder to the 6x6 Paper Pad Challenge!

So I thought the One Sheet Wonder was a clever idea....and then there was the:

6x6 Paper Pad Challenge!

What you ask is that....it's like a one sheet wonder times 6!  Instead of just taking one sheet, you try to use a whole pad of 6x6 paper to make a batch of cards.  Since most paper pads have some coordination, the papers look great together and combine well.  

So for my last scrapbooking retreat I packed a little differently.  Instead of packing my normal scrapbook supplies, I packed my inks, a pile 8 1/2 x 11 papers and some of my favorite stamps and set off to see how many cards I could make from one pad of paper.  

Drum roll please!   

64!

I started with Bo Bunny's - Madelaine Paper Pad.

This handful of scraps is all I had left!  I started by matching up the papers with each other and choosing some layouts or card sketches and I came up with the following sets.

                                Reverse Confetti #29                                Freshly Made Sketches #205                                       

           

               Sweet Sunday Sketch #288                         Sketch Saturday #373     

           

From there I took the leftover pieces and put them together in a variety of layouts.  Some are my own layouts, but I also used a few sketches.

Whew!  It was an amazing challenge, but one that I'll happily take on again!
