Scrapbooking Trend and Two Color Challenges
I have been noticing a new digital scrapbooking trend with regard to kit designs.
However, before I share my observation, I want to share with you two new color challenges in the forum based off the new trends.
Link Join us in the form for the September Designer Color Palette Challenge. Create any small item or a whole kit and share it in this thread. Anyone can participate, designers and novices and people who just want to play. You can even wait for others to make and share something and then create a quick page with what they share.
Link This color challenge is not for designing, but rather for creating a layout utilizing this color palette. Go ahead and recolor the kits you already have in your stash.
A DESIGNING TREND
The above colors were created from grabbing colors from the below kits.
I believe this style to be a new trend in digital scrapbooking as seen in the below kits. It could be that after 5 years of digital scrapbooking my eyes are just looking for something new and fresh, but I really think this is a new style. I continually see new kits popping up in store advertisements with this style indicating a growing popularity.
After having used grungy or shabby papers and elements for so long, I really like the clean, simple feel of these kits. The textures on the papers are slight and soft. The patterns are small and simple. The color schemes are muted and soft, but neutral enough to go with any photos you may be working with. The small patterns and color schemes are perfect for keeping the photos the focal point of the layout.
Many of the elements are hand drawn and computer generated; there are fewer realistic photographed or scanned in elements.
I have recently scrapped with two of these kits (not shown here) and found myself revitalized by modern approach to designs. I want to try my hand at designing in this style too. How about you?

I am liking this new style too. I believe it looks more like paper scrapping supplies, and I have always leaned more towards that.
I'm a bit torn as I do love my grunge, LOL, but I love the previews of these kits...I think it's the ever-growing popularity of minimal scrapping that has brought forward these more clean-cut kits. I do love them...just more opportunities for me to see stash I *have* to have I supppose, LOL!
