Smash the Pad Episode #1 : Doodlebug Designs "Farmhouse" Collab with Kristie Marcotte


 Hello my Crafty Friends,

I am very excited you are here and that I have started using my blog again! Today I have a very exciting video to share with you. I have always wanted to do a 6x6 paper pad video in the style that Kristie Marcotte does. I love creating LOTS of cards in one sitting. Since we are both Doodlebug fans and neither one of us had used the Farmhouse collection from 2024 now was the time. This collection is still available at Scrapbook.com. 

Now,  this is my very first style of this video and I am so very happy to be collaborating with Kristie. And of course, I totally forgot to capture some photographs and elements I needed to do ahead of time but I am sure I will improve as I continue to do this kind of video from time to time. 


Listed below are close up pictures of all of my cards. All of my cards are American standard A2 sized. For this set of cards all the sketches I have used came from my friend Crystal Minkler who is the person behind the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers group. She also has a Facebook Group Tawny Owl Paperie where she shares sketches. Crystal puts out a new sketch on the BYSHC group once a month and then also frequently on the TOP group. I absolutely love her sketches! Links to both are below.
