I am a self-confessed paper-holic. I love to buy paper in packs so that they all coordinate. It's easy to combine and mix and match that way.
I had a great paper pack from Bazzill called Believe. It included patterned paper and Bazzill cardstock. Can we say, PERFECT!!! I pulled the pack out of my Christmas stash and that is what I played with for a couple of days.
Here is what I came up with using the entire pack of paper. I think it had 12 12x12 patterned papers and 10 12x12 cardstock papers.
I ended up with 53 cards in total from this one pack. The layout is the same but changed up the patterns, etc. It was so easy to do the assembly line production with these!
Up next I want to work on some Winter themed cards then on to religious themed Christmas cards (my fave)!
Have a creative day!
Mel

Mel, I love this idea. I have a box of about 20 cards for Operation Write Home. Do you want them or should I send directly to OWH?
