Two Peas in a Bucket and CTMH Haul - last one of 2012

Hi everyone! Having a great weekend so far? Yesterday I attended my first ever Stampin' Up party which was so much fun. Made the cutest cards yesterday. I will take pictures of those and post them here on my blog later today.

I am here today with another video!! Yes, I finally edited my video and ready to post. I meant to do this earlier in the week and post it but had a busy week. This video highlights some purchases I made in late December 2012.

One of them is the Close to my heart (CTMH) Cricut Artiste cartridge set. I really love my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge from 2011 and the Artiste cartridge looks to be another good one. The set also comes with 3 separate clear stamp sets that can be paired with die cuts from the cartridge. Included are 3 sheets of chipboard shapes that match certain size of die cuts as well.

My Two Peas in a Bucket purchase was my largest ever. My video once recorded was a total of 30 minutes!!! Of course it included everything I bought plus all my babbling on the products. I edited the video to only include the newest items at Two Peas in my haul which were all the Valentine themed collections I purchased.

I was able to edit my video down to about 13 minutes. I need to figure out how to showcase more without taking more time :)

I have been wanting to make a haul video for some time. I think that they are very helpful. Sometimes I see a collection online either at Two Peas or Simon Says Stamp and hard to make a decision without seeing all the actual individual papers and/or embellishments. Not the same as when you go to a store and can actually visualize the product. Watching haul videos on You Tube has helped me really see products that I have decided not to give a second look to. It also sometimes shows me products for scrapbooking that I did not even know existed.

Anyway, here is my video. I hope you enjoy!

Please note - I filmed this with my Canon DSLR which does not autofocus so had to stop several times to try to focus in on the products.
I am hoping to buy an actual video camera soon but I am still on the fence.

If I do buy a video camera, I will most likely film more videos. I am thinking of making videos showcasing my monthly Studio Calico kit and then showing the layouts and cards I made with the kits.
Again, still on the fence about it :)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the video.
