I just started cutting the paper for this and I really have a problem with it. I don't know if I don't like my paper choices i made or that I don't like this sketch.
How does everyone feels about this sketch?

I'm not liking the little fold out on the front. I will adapt it to have a normal card base then the front part just as decoration.

I’m not a big fan of sketches in general, but I do look at them and think about joining in the challenge each month. Since you asked, I didn’t care for this one.

My set of cards. I changed up a few things and this works for me. The fold its at 1" instead of 1.25". I wrapped a ribbon around the folded piece and tied it in a bow, the CS2 is 11×2.75.this way the message size is bigger. The base is a pp instead of solid cardstock. http://instagram.com/p/CQ8zyNwpSNH |

azcrafty, yours look really nice! This isn’t the first time that I didn’t care for her sketch or sample, but every time you manage to make lovely cards with a few tweaks!

I just printed out the sketch. I liked that it used patterned paper sizes that could be taken from 6x6/6x8 pads fairly efficiently. I guess I'll make a single card and see if I like it the way she did it or if I want to adapt it like azcrafty did (although I don't have such beautiful papers to use). I might end up doing something totally different once I get started. Or doing nothing at all like recent months... sigh. I keep forgetting to look for the mini slimline business envelopes too. |

I love your cards, azcrafty. I wasn't very fond of the design this month, but I pulled out some Christmas paper that I knew I wouldn't use for scrapbook pages. By the time I finished I decided I really like the design. It's kind of fun to have something so different this month. Now I wish I had used brighter colors. I may decide to make another batch.  Merry Christmas |

These are great nylene. I like the muted colors and you did a great job with your paper choices they coordinate perfectly. And I'm with you, now that a done a set I don't hate the sketch anymore. I'm planning to make a New Year set . |

Merry Christmas Those are beautiful! I plan to make some Christmas cards with this design too, probably with that same baker's twine - I love the classic red and white. That sentiment is really beautiful and perfect for the little offset semicircle. |

 Sheetload July 2021 by scrappy rabbit, on Flickr Here are mine! I used Maggie Holmes Flourish. I copied azcrafty by using the PP as the background instead of cardstock. I don't love this design, but maybe its the papers I used?? I also would rather have a bigger spot for writing, so I would have made it so the "flap" is the bigger piece of paper in the back, and the front design just be a regular design instead of the flap, if that makes sense. |

scrappyrabbit I like your colorful cards. Im always afraid mixing and matching pp, but you did a great job with it. I made my 'card' part a little bit bigger than the sketch and I'm ok with that. Will hold a small message but sometimes thats enough.

scrappyrabbit, I love your cards. You have a talent in putting patterned papers together. I struggle with that! I really like the variety of sentiments. That house paper is so cute!

Thank you 😊😊 I had some scraps and some papers already pulled from that collection, which is probably why I had such variety of patterns. I feel like I ended up with more scraps than I started with, though!

Loving the samples; they're gorgeous! I actually like this sketch a lot. I don't think I'll participate in the challenge, but I do plan to make some cards with the sketch. Thanks for sharing!

Have you guys seen the revised instructions for making 24 cards out of 2 sheets of 12x12? Minimal waste! I love it. She also used some suggestions from viewers and team members to make the whole process a little easier.

She also has a version using bee themed supplies that uses a fold up card on the front - gives a little more space for a message.

Thanks joblackford for that link. I used the new template and am just finishing up 24 cards that I can use and donate. I will post them when I get the last touches done. |

Here is my sheetload of cards. My 12x12 paper was double sided, so I only made 12 with the improved cutting scheme. They did take me a bit of time, with all the steps: scoring, folding, twine tying, circle cutting..... I like them. They will be good for a quick hello or thanks.  |
