I used the 24 sheet 6 x 6 pad, 5 sheets of various solids (8.5 x 11), some smaller solid scraps from my scrap bin, a few yards of ribbon, a couple dozen brads and various sentiments including some stamps, some computer generated and some SRM Stickers I had in my stash. I wound up with 31 cards total and little to nothing left over of the prints, just a few tiny scraps.
1) The patterns all work together, no ability to mix-n-match needed.
2) Small patterns look great on cards.
3) Easy to coordinate a few solids, since the same colors repeat throughout the pad.
4) Short list of supplies would make this great for taking with you anywhere.
5) Easy to use up... you don't get bored, easy to have a variety on hand.
6) Small investment if you are new and/or on a limited budget.
I can say without a doubt I will do this again. It is particularly attractive to me because I don't have to unpack all my supplies as I normally would and it's fun and rewarding to see a nice bunch of cards when you're done with the pad.
Happy Crafting Everyone!

Paula, Wow you have been busy,that's for sure. You came up with some beautiful cards. Nice job.
Awesome group of cards, Paula. I agree with you that it's nice to make cards this way because you only need to add in a few other supplies and you don't have to constantly go back through your stash. I like the pad of paper you chose because it has a wide variety of colors. I picked one that was basically all pink/orange/yellow, so the finished cards didn't look as diverse as yours do.
Good job! I have definitely got to try this! Thanks for the encouragement.

I may need to try this! Great cards...and inspiration!
you did a terrific job with this tutorial
I have several 6x6 packs and I intend to try this soon
I'm so glad other people are enjoying my tutorial. And I originally thought it was just a little OCD issue of mine to use up all the papers and leave no scraps. It's so fun to look at everyone's pictures that are trying the tutorial. Your cards are beautiful and I'm impressed you don't need to use sketches.

These are great! I don't usually buy the 6 x 6 pads either but you have given me a new idea!
I agree with you completely Paula! I LOVE this idea. It is so rewarding to see all the varieties of cards that come from one 6" x 6" pad. When I did mine however, I only ended up with 21 cards so I must, absolutely must, do this again and beat my best... :)
You did an amazing job, Paula! These look fabulous!
Thanks for your grateful informations, this blogs will be really help for Tutorial.
This is awesome Paula and I am going to have to try this for sure with my next 6x6 pad. Thans for all the pretty pictures and for the tutorial and comments. You did an awesome job!!
