Trying my hand at a process video

Hey Scrap fans!  Keathe and I recently put ourselves on a spending freeze for awhile so we could try to use of some of the millions of supplies we already have.  So I thought it would be fun to challenge each other to do a page a day and send each other a pic.  A challenge like this is a great way to "get in touch with your stash" and be reminded of all those products you have waiting in the wings. (Unfortunatly, it can also be a good way to realize all those things you don't have and you end up with a big list of new stuff to get)

We actually did pretty good for awhile. Keathe usually sent her pics early in the day, and I was usually sending her mine at 11:59PM.  Eventually Keathe abandoned the layout challenge to work on a mini album from her beach trip this summer (which is absolutely amazing and I can't wait for her to finish it and post it here) and I've tapered off to a layout about every three days.  But in any case, I think I learned a lot about my scrapbooking style and the process I go through.

So, I decided to try my hand at a process video.  I personally enjoy watching scrapbooking videos, as I tend to watch them in bed on my phone or iPad at the end of the day as a way to unwind.  Although I do appreciate blogs that have gorgeous, step-by-step photos of layouts, I tend to gravitate more toward the videos.  (Plus, in terms of production, I'm very lazy and I think its easier to shoot and edit a video than to take multiple pictures throughout my process, which may or may not actually be the case) I also recently fashioned myself a handy overhead camera holding device out of PVC pipe and a cheap iphone holder from Amazon, which has made filming everything that happens on my craft table super quick and easy. 

I hope you enjoy the video and please feel free to comment and critique.  I already had someone from YouTube say they would like a voice over during the high speed where I explain my thought process, which I think is a great idea, and plan to try next time.

Happy Scrapping!!
