I just saw this on Twitter. So crazy because I have a layout being published in that issue and I had no idea it'd be the last issue ever.

I would doubt it's due to digital scrapbooking. I was listening to an older episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable (I think from Dec?) and they said digital was only like 10% of the scrapbooking industry. I'd say it's more due to the decline of magazines in general with all the new media available now - their subscription/ad based business model just no longer works, especially when you can often buy much more targeted ad space for a lot less online.
