Hip to be square -- Creative ways to use those 6x6 paper pads!!

Hi everyone!!

Recently, my dear bloggy friend Lisa contacted me and asked if I would be interested in participating in a blog series she was hosting about creative ways to use 6x6 paper pads!!! :)

So many ideas were running through my head after Lisa contacted me... and I came up with my idea to use my 6x6 paper pads inspired by my crafty friend Krista (who you will also see featured in Lisa's series!!)

Here are the 6x6 paper pads I started with --

I then chose four pieces from one of the paper pads and adhered them to a 12x12 piece of cardstock!!

Then I added washi tape to hide the "seams" of the papers coming together!! So now I have my own designed 12x12 piece of paper from four 6x6 sheets! :) ... {{{sorry the above photo and the below photo are so OFF in their colors... I am thinking because the above one was taken inside}}}

 And here are two other 12x12 papers I "made" using the 6x6 sheets and washi tape! :)

 

And here are the three layouts I made from my customized 12x12 sheets I made :)

On this last layout, I also took two more 6x6 pieces of paper and used my heart punch to create all the hearts on here :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate it! :)
