Although I scrapbook in 12x12, I have been using predominantly the 6x6 paper pad plus a couple of sheets of 12x12 papers (#3 & #7) suitable for fussy cutting, some decorative tags and a few sheets of co-ordinating cardstock. Hopefully I can show you that 6x6 paper pads can be used for all sorts of projects including large sized layouts.
I started by matting a slightly trimmed down sheet of white 12x12 cardstock onto a sheet of green cardstock. At the top and bottom I placed some torn pieces of patterned paper and then machine stitched round the edges with white thread.
In the centre of the layout I layered a piece of peach tissue paper, my photo and some frames cut from patterned paper and the green cardstock. Before gluing down the tissue paper I crumpled it a little to add some texture.
Next, I set about fussy cutting some leaves and flowers, a coffee cup and pastry from paper #7 and also from the bonus pages in the front and back of the paper pad.
The fussy cut images were layered across the bottom and right edge of the photo with some 3D foam underneath some, to raise them up. This created lots of dimension.
Among the fussy cut images I nestled one of the tags from the decorative tags pack and strung this with a little bit of green embroidery thread.
In my stash I found some wood veneer leaves and a plaque that said favorite and added these to the cluster of images too.
The title was created using some Pink Fresh Studio Puffy Alphabet Stickers.
Journalling strips were typed on the computer and printed in green onto white cardstock. the strips were glued beneath the photo.
Finally, I splattered the layout with some brown watercolour paint and added a few gold sequins and some brown enamel dots.
I hope you like this layout and will look again at 6x6 paper pads and how to use them on your layouts.
Take Care
