While watching scrapbook videos do you ever disagree with what they are doing? I tend to watch them like I'm watching sporting events: "No, don't put that piece there!" "Move that embellishment to the other side- what are you doing?!" "Wow, I did not expect that, way to go!" I also like to guess what they are going to do before they do it.  Speaking of which, what scrapbook videos do you recommend? I'm a teacher with the summer off and since I'm not going anywhere I thought I'd catch up on my video watching. I love watching videos like Shimelle's. Do you have any other suggestions? |

LOL My suggestion is to follow Paper Issues on FB. Cassie has a fabulous DT, and they have sever FB Live videos all month long. It’s fun to watch and play along. They are all really sweet and fun to watch. You can always go back and watch past Lives, too. |

I do run my mouth at YouTubers. But I run my mouth at my own videos, so I totally feel justified. 😂 I’ll be watching this thread. I always find someone new in the please give me suggestions of people to watch. Now, she does not even do process videos, they are more of a share, but Moira is super creative and I love listening to her talk. www.youtube.com/user/ortienomade |

She teaches art and just starts cutting paper and ends up with the cutest critters. She is one of those people that seems to see things in paper that I don't. I love her process even though I scrap nothing like her. |

Sometimes people use papers that I don't see as matching (not even slightly), but I'm generally game to see how things turn out.
I don't get how people will use old papers they say they don't like "just to use them up." Ack, if you don't like the paper, toss it!

Yes.
There was one the other day and I didn’t like the entire layout. It was a mess and it didn’t accomplish what she said it was for ( because she decided it was close enough ) it was busy, and distracting and I had to mentally focus on her photo when it was done because my eye naturally went everywhere but the photo. I have one like that from a long time ago that I redid because it defeats the purpose of scrapbooking if the photo is lost. Yeah, sometimes it’s because the layout is a piece of art And the photo isn’t the focus, sometimes it’s because they are Showcasing products so the photo takes a back seat, but this one was just a complete mess.
I stopped watching her.
There’s another one who I usually love, I like her chatty live style, not a voice over after but ‘live‘ whats running thru her head play by play. I really relate to that. Well today the two videos I watched the sound went in & out, near & far & it drive me nuts!! They were recent videos too. I had to shut it off. And I was irrationally upset & disappointed because I normally love her narrative!
When something goes wrong redo the voice over. Yeah, I know it won’t be your normal style but I couldn’t hear what you had to say anyway. 🙁

I definitely "talk" to videos while watching. Especially when their hand hovers over the page trying to find the right spot for whatever embellishment they are trying to place.
After pretty much ignoring YouTube for several years, I'm kind of obsessed with scrapbook process videos. I think I've watched more YT in the last two months than the previous 10 years combined.
My favorites are process videos NOT part of a design team obligation, and ones that use several collections/brands/manufacturers as opposed to a single collection. I also really like layouts that feature cut files that have been "paper pieced". I'm getting bored of the mixed media ones, lol.
Shimelle is my favorite. I also like Dearly Dee and Danni Vee.

I like this format so much and will watch almost all of her videos. |

I like a both straight scrapping/card making and design team/product introduction videos. It's all about the presenter to me. Some people, even if I like the layout, I don't enjoy their process. It's very subjective. I've whittled down my go to subs. Those that I watch/re-watch consistently are:
Ali Edwards
Amy Gretchen (AE Design team)
Gina K (her videos feel very old skool in a very good way)
Kelly Purkey
Kristie Marcotte (card making, a lot of Queen & Co)
Lawn Fawn
Sandy Allnock (card making and all around amazing artist)
Scrapbooking Quebec (her placement measuring is both annoying and mesmerizing)
Shimelle
Srushti Patil (general paper crafts, mostly technique tutorials)
Two Peas In A Bucket Saturday Project Life (even though these are old, I find them soothing)
Vicky Papaioannou (card making and mixed media)
Yana Smakula (card making)

I like @coliebing and Heather Balzer... I've recently started re-watching them both from the beginning, lol!! @coliebing's latest series of videos are about using one collection for a series of layouts. While I don't scrap like that (using collections), I really appreciate Nicole's discussion of what she does/doesn't like about some of he papers and the die-cuts, and how she will try to incorporate them into her scrapping style. Although I do agree with 950nancy -- most of the time if I *really* don't like a paper, I won't be happy with the layout if I try to use it just 'because' I have it. But sometimes I surprise myself, so... eta: aaaand, apparently I can't remember what Nicole's username is. but @coliebing is her youtube account. (I think, anyway) |

I like Sarah Swann. She uses voice overs and her videos are short and to the point. She also has a reading YouTube channel, so she does more than the average amount of pages about books and reading (which I enjoy.)

I don't really watch scrapbooking videos because of the very question you asked. At the risk of having to duck after this post, I do this with Shimelle videos whenever I watch them, which isn't often. I keep saying, "Stop adding stuff! Enough already! You just covered up all that beautiful paper with so many layers that I can't even see it anymore. You don't need any more dots." I do that with most of the other scraptooking videos I've watched, but I want to give some of the suggestions I've read in this thread a try.
Is there a list somewhere of the simple scrapbookers on YT?
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Slight tangent... I find it really distracting to watch to a YT video and partway through be interrupted by ads. It ruins the mood and flow of inspiration. I was watching a video where the YT'er was talking about a photo and the story behind it (and getting emotional). Then right in the middle of a sentence it interrupts for a commercial break. So rude, YouTube! I get people want to make money for providing content. I have no problem with ads at the beginning of a video. When the pre-video ads play I use that time to top off my glass of water or grab a snack.  Ads occurring mid-video make me want to stop watching and unsubscribe (I almost always do).  Okay, back on topic... Elsabelle - Thank you for the suggestion of Suzanna Lee! I've really been enjoying her catalog of process videos. I'm starting to run out of new ones to watch, lol. |

You’re welcome and I agree about ads. I don’t mind ads at the beginning and end of videos but when they get up to 4, 5, 6 or more ads throughout the video I will unsubscribe. |

I'm nowhere near a point of monetisation on my channel so I'm not up to speed - do creators have the ability to determine where advertisements appear?
(I admit, we have a family premium membership for YT so I never see any ads. With the amount of YT that we watch it's a worthwhile investment)

(I admit, we have a family premium membership for YT so I never see any ads. With the amount of YT that we watch it's a worthwhile investment) No, we don’t get to pick the advertisements. We only pick if the ads go at the beginning, during, or after a video. I know you can manually place where the ads go in the middle, but I haven’t ever played with it to figure that out. |

Ahhh ok, thanks. From a content creator perspective I can definitely understand why you would place advertisements in the middle of the video rather than at the end. But from a content consumer perspective I understand it is not ideal. As a consumer I guess it just comes down to whether or not you are willing to accept brief interruption if it means a small financial support to the creator.
ETA: Before going premium (and before starting my own channel) I made a point of letting advertisements run because it really meant so little to me but I knew that small amount of revenue could mean a lot to the content creator. And one of the things I looked at when upgrading was ensuring that creators I watch would still get revenue from me even without the ads.

I only watch the ones w/interesting (to me) projects or techniques. Sometimes I see simple techniques done wrong or more complicated than needed. When using a regular score board, the score is on the good side. This allows a smooth corner or fold, and a ridge pole inside for support.
I like the videos better than classes because I can't seem to keep up.

I can only imagine the hot messes you are finding in my older videos! then again, I have settled into a "this is me" place where I can laugh at myself in a voiceover and be myself and "unprofessional" because those are the people I tend to watch also. I'm so glad you guys are liking the creating with collections series. I'm up here today starting on the SG 6x6 sketch bundle/class so my Easter kit is on hold for a bit. |

I also keep a small amount for layering over with papers I do love. Or, for using the back side, if it is plain white. |
