Hello all my blog followers and visitors! I hope you are having a great  weekend  and carving out time for some crafting and lots of rest and relaxation.  Although in the United States you are probably super busy  for the upcoming holiday season and specifically Thanksgiving!

Lots of good things are happening here at VintageGlam Studio, so I wanted to give you a little review of what’s happening in regard to my Youtube Channel  before we enter the super busy holiday season.  Although, we  are pretty much  there already come to think of it …after a loooong time without publishing, I just wanted to let you know that I am back at it. 

I just wanted to share that I am actively refreshing and updating my Youtube Channel and video tools.  At this time, I hope to create lots of videos that basically provide a summarized review of my planner decor layouts in my Happy Planner by Me and My Big Ideas, and Erin Condren Life Planner or .  I intend to also feature the junk journaling journals and tools that I have featured on my Instagram channel.  I have been trying to develop this aspect of my social media for years but didn’t have the time for video editing, uploading and all that jazz.

My plan for this year and into 2026 is to feature   planner decor videos that are under 5 minutes and they are edited so that you can get the real “meat” of the content. I also include most of the materials and supplies and sources in the Youtube description so that you can add it to your “crafting” list , if you are interested. And I would just love it, if you become a subscriber!  I’m sorry that in the past,  I had not posted enough video content.   

I had too many other time constraints to provide enough video content for my channel but with the discovery of  ever improving “new” phone and desktop  video editing tools that make this process so much easier and less time consuming, I intend to boost my video content for 2026, even if they are under 30 second shorts!

I plan to share some of my junk journal flip throughs, diy crafting and current video tools.   I would love it if you became a subscriber to my Youtube Channel.  The following are the online video editing tools I am currently using.

Top  Online Video Creation and Editing Tools

Online video editing tools have come a long way, offering a range of options for both beginners and more experienced creators. Here’s a quick rundown:

  1. Flexclip – Super user-friendly with a drag-and-drop interface. Great for simple edits, and it’s cloud-based, so you can work from anywhere. The free plan is limited, but it’s solid for basic needs. Upgrade to business plan to use it’s advanced features.  They have just added additional AI tools that are super amazing!  I have been testing them out and hope to do a longer post in the future. I especially like the “Image to AI Image” feature and the picture below will show the power of this tool.  I can’t get enough of it and have been testing this tool, for sure.  Please note (of course this is a copyrighted image, so I had to change the AI instructions to change the picture enough to not interfere with the copyright).   I believe these tools are available in the PRO version.
  2. Screenpal – This tool combines simplicity with a lot of features. You can trim, add text, and use effects without a steep learning curve.  This is desktop version and a phone app version.  I have used this for recording video short.  Free plan is decent, but you’ll need to pay for higher export quality.
  3. Adobe Express – It’s Adobe, so it’s got solid features and templates. Ideal for quick, polished videos. The free version gives you a lot of customization, but you may need to upgrade for more advanced options and exports.

Overall, these tools make video editing accessible without the need for heavy software or hardware, and fancy equipment. Perfect for quick edits or social media posts, but if you’re after deep functionality, you might need to go pro!  You’ll be seeing more of my video clips as we get prepared for  the new year in 2026!

I also hope to create more vids that cover some of the DIY’s that I have shared on my Instagram account. (You guys are keeping me busy!)   But that is all in the planning  and “get it done” stage for right now, in any case I just wanted to let you know what is going on and share a sample of the type of short  videos that I plan on publishing.

Thanks for your support and we’ll keep blogging away!

Lots of good things are happening here at VintageGlam Studio, so I wanted to give you a little review of what’s happening in regard to my Youtube Channel  before we enter the super busy holiday season.  Although, we  are pretty much  there already come to think of it …what with Halloween parties and Halloween itself, I know you must be busy!

I just wanted to share that I am actively refreshing and updating my Youtube Channel.  At this time, I am creating lots of videos that basically provide a summarized review of my planner decor layouts in my Happy Planner by Me and My Big Ideas, Erin Condren Life Planner and Sugar Paper Planner for Target.  Most of the planner decor videos are under 5 minutes and they are edited so that you can get the real “meat”.

Video Sneak Preview of Free Vintage Postage Printable

video sneak preview

Hi, peeps.  The weather is warming up and things are getting pretty hectic in my tiny, studio.  Today,  I have posted  my first video sneak preview on my Youtube Channel so that you can get an idea of  a design I have been working on and will be releasing as a freebie soon.  I also have included a few of the images of my completed design on my Instagram.

So, if you are a frequent blog visitor and you’re wondering where that design is…this is just a quick one minute video to give you an idea about the details of that freebie.

Sometimes you’ll see images on my Instagram that are not available on the blog.   Well, that’s because some of those images include ideas that I’m working on or developing.

As for the vids, I have had this Youtube Channel for awhile now but I used it mostly to gather all the great videos or vid tutorials made by other crafters and hobbyists.  I had compiled quite a few in my playlists.  However, now I  am getting more ideas  (the video sneak preview, for one) as to how to use this channel to give you an idea of my work process or information that I want to relay that will be interesting to you that do somehow seem to be relayed a bit better via video and not just words. Sometimes I just have ideas that are in the pipeline and haven’t either had the time or didn’t think there would be any interest at the moment.

I hope you are as excited as I am with these vids and you will get an idea of my work process and some of the other things going on on my blog .  Thanks for stopping by!
