When I get down to just small scraps from a 6×6 paper pad, I look for a sketch that will really help utilize those few scraps. I love sketches where I can feature several different pattern papers from the 6×6 onto one card. This sketch from Operation Write Home was perfect for that. (Plus, the measurements are already provided.)

Great sketch to use some scraps, without looking like you're using scraps! I hope you have videoed this 6×6–can't wait to see you in action!
Thank you, Jennifer! As much as I love using OWH sketch #154, I've been trying to find some other sketches that will work well for the final 6×6 cards. With summer activities and then getting the kiddos ready to head back to school, I didn't actually record the 6×6 process with this collection. But, I did just finish recording a different 6×6 paper pad. Now to start editing.
Great card! I wanted to share that I made a bunch (not a full set as I had already used some of the 6×6 Doodlebug fall pad) of cards following your tutorial. I gave one to a friend (who can be picky about cards) and it was quite satisfying to see that she really liked the card I gave her. Thank you so much for inspiring me (and I'm sure others) to get the most out of these pads. I really appreciate all your time and effort to share what you are creating. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, Jeanne! I really appreciate it! Isn't it so fun to turn 6×6 paper pads into pretty cards? I'm so happy your friend liked the card you made for her. Handmade cards are always so special, especially when you can bless someone else with them. I'm glad I can provide some inspiration for you. Have a wonderful day!
