32 Cards From One 6x6 Paper Pad

Raise your hand if you are completely in awe of Kristie Marcotte and her ability to power through entire 6x6 paper pads...yeah me too!  For my SumMore Fun blog post today I decided to embrace that challenge for myself!  It wasn't easy and took me three days off and on to finish the paper pad, but I ended up with these 32 cards.

I used the My Mind's Eye My Favorite Things 6x6 paper pad.  I have had it floating around in my craft room for quite some time.  I picked it because it had both masculine and feminine papers in it.  I will say that I should have been more selective because some of the papers were geared more towards scrapbooking and that left me with only side of paper to use with those sheets.  However, it didn't stop me :)

In true Kristie style, I started with some card sketches.  This first set of cards were made with Reverse Confetti sketch #32.  

I used the following supplies on these cards:

• Raisin Boat Talking in Circles stamp set (only $3.99 right now!)
• Scrapbook.com Pine hybrid ink
• Scrapbook.com Pink Lemonade hybrid ink
• Cottage Cutz stitched circle dies
• brads
• brown and coral Recollections cardstock
• flower

The second set of cards were made with Reverse Confetti sketch #53.
