NSD 2017 - Paper Pad Challenge **Winner

[scrappinmom99]

What a fantastic turnout for this challenge! We used A LOT of our paper pads!  Random.org picked #22 stateless as the winner. Congratulations! Points have been sent to the winner and everybody who participated. Thanks for taking my challenge!


Hello, cherry friends!  This is a challenge that is similar to the 25 Items challenge that has been posted.  It is designed to use up some of your stash and adds another challenge to layer on top of the ones you will be working on for NSD.  Please reply in this thread for the challenge. A randomly chosen winner will receive 500 points! And surprise sprinkles for everyone too!  Each project will earn you one entry for the 500 points.
 
THE CHALLENGE:
Do you have tons of paper pads? 6x6? 8x8? 6x5 --- I didn’t even know that was a thing until the Emoji Love collection LOL! I have tons of paper pads and am always looking for new and creative ways to use them! Post any projects (layouts, cards, home décor, anything goes!) that you have created using any kind of paper pad. That’s the whole challenge! How easy is that? We have such great creativity on this board. I’d love to see what you do with paper pads and get some new ideas for my stacks of pads! 

I made this Hello Today wall hanging for my daughter's room. She has outgrown all the pink princess stuff (sniff sniff!) and likes the mint blue, pink and black/gold combinations. I made this as a surprise for her with the Emoji Love collection. I thought I was ordering a 6x6 paper pad (because I am apparently addicted to paper pads!) but it was 6x8. So...I made this! Now what to do with the rest of the pages?



The Death Star's circle is from a Dots & Stripes paper pad.



with this card I used up the LAST two pages of my Dots & Stripes pad from 2011. I have never seen a fully used up paper pad before LOL!

Yep, I'm also kind of addicted to paper pads and also surprised at some of the new sizes.  This should be easy peasy for me!!! 

[mom2ellabell]

Sounds like fun!

[love2stamp]

I have a ton of paper pads that size and don't use them. Maybe this will get my using them!!

[Charleneanne]

oh my gosh  Great challenge.  I CANNOT pass up a paper pad.  I have two dozen of the 6x6 ones and another dozen of other odd size ones.  lol     yaaaaah  you for this challenge.  I am IN

[DolphinSoul]

I actually don't have a lot of paper pads bc most come with stuff I don't like so I pick individual ones instead.  I looked and have a 12x12 disney one,  12x12 mermaid type,  and 1 6x6 halloween one. So we will see every gets created 

[blbabe1234]

I've got a few, especially DCWV and MME

[Cherished]

Oh my Goodness. I am addicted to paper pads. All sizes. Great challenge I will be playing along.

[scrappinmom99]

I'm glad everybody is into it! (And that I'm not the only one addicted to paper pads LOL!) And Omg I forgot all about the 12x12 ones! I have a couple of DCWV pads around too. I always love getting paper pads with the thinking "Oh it all coordinates so I don't even have to think about it..." But then I need to actually DO something with them! That's how I came up with this challenge...how can we collect ideas?? A challenge! 

[Retiree3]

This is a great challenge!

[Livi]

I need Paper Pad Anonymous. Lol. I'm so up for this. Thanks.

[57Diana]

This will be fun!!! I love paper pads:)

Although I haven't scrapped ina couple years, I still bought those little pads for card making.  This is a great challenge to drag them out and use them, you know, to make room for more

[suewho372]

I'm with you on the paper addiction!! I have all sizes and all different manufacturers!!!

[keatonsgtgram]

I almost entirely use 12x12 and 8x8 pads I have 6x6 and several other sizes that I use less often mostly because I forget about them. I seldom buy individual papers unless there's something VERY particular about them like theme or alot of matching colors of several different prints. Or if I'm making a mini album or a themed album or project.

[sweetsour]

this is aswesome!  Bought lots of pads love that  they're all coordinated papers and perfect for layering.

[sweetsour]

this is awesome!  Bought lots of pads love that  they're all coordinated papers and perfect for layering.

[stateless]

Fun idea!!  For the heck of it, I just counted my paper pads (6x6 and other small sizes...) - I have 103!!  And that doesn't count ones I put in the giveaway pile. I didn't realize it was so many. I think I have a problem.

[StacyLee]

This is a great challenge! I haven't looked at my 6x6 paper pads in a while, I still have most of a Simple Stories 24/7 pad, one of my favorite lines.  I'm sure I can come up with something! Thanks for the push to dig that out. 

 

[pagal74]

I can definitely get into this!  I have been naughty lately buying paper pads so I have a lot!
