I picked up the Amy Tangerine over the weekend, the Dear Lizzy must have been sold out; would love to win some :)

Favorite thing is that I fear cutting them / punching them less than I do with the 12x12 sheets. The 6x6 size makes the papers friendlier somehow.

[Ashly]

I am a layout girl, so I use them for my regular scrapbooking. I hate cutting the big papers for matting, and colorblocking type designs. The little patterns just seem perfect to accompany their bigger counterparts. Like peas in a pod. :)

[nisha]

These papers are so fun. I use my 6x6 paper pads for card making and the scraps are used on layouts. Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win such a great prize.

[Polly]

The mini pad is great for creating cards. Thanks for the chance to win this pretty mini pad.

[laurie lariviere]

[JustYolie]

[Marie / Legojenta]

I love creating cards with 6" paper pads, and I am so excited that AC has now starting making them! Hopefully new AC lines in the future will have 6" pads as well. I like to use the papers from 6" pads for backgrounds or to paper piece stamped images with =)

[Sandy L]

6x6 are great for cards & mini mini's!

I love using mini paper pads for journaling and framing photos in my 12 x 12 layouts. They also help me by not having to search through my copious amounts of paper scraps for the right smaller sheets.

[Jessica Dougherty]

I have grown to love creating small albums that feature one trip or event. The pads make it so easy to put together an eye-catching album without having to spend the bulk of my time trimming down papers & creating lots of scraps that may go to waste. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!

[chel]

I have to say that mini pads helped re-awaken my love of punches and die cutting. It's so much easier to flip through a 6x6 pad, find a great pattern or color, and punch from that. It's *so* quick, adds great details to the projects I make, and it doesn't feel "wasteful" like it does cutting a tiny shape from a huge piece, and I use my punches SO MUCH now. It's opened my creative world up!

[Celeste B.]

I think the 6x6 pads are the best product that came out since I have started scrapbooking. I make a lot of 8x8 pages and they are perfect for layering on a card stock backgroun. And then they are absolutely wonderful in card making.

[jen]

Cards, of course!

[Natalie (QSOgirl)]

I love the smaller scale of the patterns in the 6x6 pads, so I'd use them in any of my paper crafts!

[Miriam Prantner]

So, I'm kind of a neophyte and only JUST received my first mini pad. I know, kind of crazy right? But actually I have a few more on the way and am excited to be joining the 21st century scrapbooker. These would be great for cards, but I also like the smaller patterns because they also read a lot like solids, and I'm more of a CAS scrapbooker, so it's a great way to add some pattern without too much pattern. If that makes any sense. Thanks for the chances to win!

I LOVE using 6x6 pads for layouts, cards and all kinds of other projects! The scaled down prints are perfect for so many things!

I mostly make layouts, but I do love mini books and cards... that being said I never really got into the 6x6, I felt it was too small... that is until I got my hands on Amy's Sketchbook 6x6. I love the scale of the smaller pages and I can incorporate them on all of my projects. If I win I have a pal that would love the Sketchbook 6x6 since I already have one.
