Adobe Premiere Elements Review & Giveaway For 2 Winners!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Adobe Premiere Elements empowers your creative vision with video editing that’s so easy, it almost makes the movie for you. Use automated options, special effects, and in-app guidance to turn your video clips into entertaining movies that will wow family and friends. And now, take your Elements videos with you, wherever you go, on your smart phone or tablet. Do the same with your photos and make awesome slide shows, set to great music with your choice of transitions and effects!

I recently had the chance to upgrade from my older version of Adobe Premiere Elements to Premiere Elements 12. The newest version comes with great new features. I have only skimmed the surface and made one short video but I really like the updated version because there is so much more you can do like add new film looks, spotlight your subject with motion tracking and the auto smart tone feature allows the software to get to know your style.

One of the things I like best about Premiere Elements is that anyone from novice to expert can use this software to create great movies, it is so user-friendly. When you have made your move it is easy to share to Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and all the other leading online sharing services and social media sites.

The Guided Edits can help you learn and master editing techniques to make your videos pop. Have you ever wished you could create great looking videos but were intimidated because you thought it was way too difficult. Well, now it is like you have your own instructor with you, showing you just how to do things. Learn the ins and outs of editing your videos and soon people will be wishing they could create videos like yours.

Mommy Ramblings thinks Adobe Premiere Elements 12 makes a great gift for anyone that takes videos and wants user friendly software to organize, create and share their one of a kind movies with. We are adding Adobe Premiere Elements 12 to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!!! Open to US and Canadian residents.

Let Gift Card Mall Help You Give The Perfect Gift That’s Sure To Fit!!! #GiveBetter

Can you believe it’s only 10 days until Christmas Eve? I sure can’t, I don’t where this year went, I am so behind with everything. If you’re like me and still feeling in your head that it’s September, you may be in a quandary of having to buy a bunch of gifts. It can be so hard to buy for some people and I think gift cards are a great way to solve that. Giving gift cards is a great way to give a gift that lets the recipient get exactly what they want and not what we think they want.

Save them the hassle of returning a gift that’s the wrong size, color or style and instead let them look forward to what they’re going to buy with it. GiftCardMall.com is your online source for a broad range of gift cards delivered via email or traditional mail. Offered in a range of denominations, the cards can be used online or on location at the issuing retailer. This could really be your one stop shop for all of those hard to shop for people still on your list. So grab a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa and in a few clicks you could be done and use all the time you save to do something you really enjoy this holiday season, because before we know it, it will be gone.

Hexbug Nano Infinity Loop V2 Habitat Set Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

My little guys love the HEXBUG Nano bugs. The new breed of gravity defying Nano V2 bugs can climb everywhere in the new Nano V2 habitat sets. The Nano V2 Infinity Loop Habitat has a double loop open play area and comes with one Nano V2 bug. This set is the perfect gift for any seasoned HEXBUG collector or a great introduction for anyone to the HEXBUG world. Watch with awe as these jittery creatures climb up, down, around corners and through the loops and tubes. The habitat is expandable so it can expand as your child’s collection expands.

The HEXBUG® Nano V2 is an evolved Nano, sporting a new look, with three rubber spikes on its back. The tiny micro robotic creature uses the physics of vibration to scurry up through multiple levels of tubes, as high as your V2 set will take it, to explore its environment. The quick little critter can crawl through tubes on its feet or on its back, and can pass another bug in a single tube to avoid a traffic jam! The Nano V2 will even flip to its feet when landing on its back on an open flat surface. Nano V2 Assortment Infinity Loop

Patch Products, Flash & Furious, Frantically Fast, Fantastically Fun Game Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Are you ready for a great, fast paced, party or team game? If so, let me tell you about Patch Products: Flash & Furious Game. This game can be played with 2 or more players and you can play on teams with more than 4 players. You need a referee to read the questions and keep track of the lights and answers. You can play with two without a referee but you will definitely want a referee with more than 2 players to keep track of things in this fast paced game.

Flash and Furious Game

First after choosing the referee, the players or teams choose a color. Then the referee reads one of the questions and taps the top of the game system to begin. The light will flash a specific color and if it’s your color, you must answer the question quickly. It can pick the same color several times, so you need to have your answers ready quick! The players or teams keep going until one player repeats an answer or is stumped and then they press their color button to stop that round. The losing player or team gets the card and that’s not a good thing because the player or team with the most cards loses! This is a fun game to play at a party with teams!
