Default What's your current personal "trend"?

I know that there are trends in digi scrapping, but I'm talking about your own personal trends/faves right now: use of white space, using acrylics, using a single photo, etc.

And what is your current favorite font to use on your LOs?

Right now I'm totally into paint splats again - can't get enough! I was stuck on the fonts Loved by the King and Complete in Him for a long time, and now it's Segoe Script and the newest by Darcy (lovin' it!).

What about you?

I am way into messy stitches ala Traci's Bad Sewing Machine. Obsessed. My favorite fonts are handwritten ones. I rotate between the probably 40 or so Darcy fonts I have.

I have been getting to lots of elements, layering, and clusters. My pages are getting more and more crowded. I started looking at Katie Hadfield's LOs on her blog and now I'm hooked on that style.

I love stitching...I havent got any of Tracy's yet but I do love them on the layouts Ive seen them on. I mostly use Dani's Not So Basic stitching. As for personal style Im not sure...I love Darcy's fonts but the font I use the most is freehand591

LOVE having one photo and repeating it. And I have always been a clusterer, so I don't think I could say it was a trend really....lol! I love me some ribbon and string too.

As for fonts, that's a toughy! I am in love with Barbarjowe Pisanki. It was free so you could google for that one. and DJB Kristi at the moment. Darcy has the best fonts! Oh and SS Whimsy is always tons of fun!

Another one here for stitching (Traci's!) and splats! I'm totally addicted to Darcy's fonts and have always been a template-lover!

I am loving word art and date stamps these days, plus being really finicky about shadows looking real.

I totally love all of La's Layered Up In You sets. Traci's stitches seem to always find a way onto my layouts. I'm trying a little bit more clustering. I don't have a preference for how many photos...I'm not all that crazy about repeating a photo, but can't say that I won't try it someday. I don't really have a set style or trend...I just kind of go with the flow for every layout.

I do love a good template though. I probably have more templates than anything....

and fonts fonts fonts. Darcy is my main squeeze!

I pretty much like it all. Although, I don't work with paper very much.
Stitches
Repeat photos
Creatively cropped photos
Extractions
Lots and lots of elements and layers
Paint splats

I love to use templates and tend to gravitate toward ones with circles...I'm trying to use more white space and haven't quite grasped the cluster trend, but I'd like to step out of my comfort zone and try some layouts like that. I love anything I can find here...the designers rock!

I'm starting to work more with patterned papers....thank you Stephanie!

I've always been a one photo/clusterer so that's not really a trend, just how I scrap.

I'm addicted to Darcy's fonts, pea fonts, and um, CK Ali's hand

Paper lol..but that's not a new trend for me..I LOVE paper...it's so hard for me to NOT put every paper in a pack on my page lol. I love to layer and layer it That's what I spend the most time on I think is choosing papers.

And Cindy's templates...I'm totally addicted to them

Yay!

Patterns.Patterns.Patterns. The Bolder the better.

More than one photo on the page. Clusters (always did that, but moreso now) and telling the story. I need journaling on every page.

I love adding scalloped edges to both LO's and the cards I make - I also like adding sparkle to everything that sits still long enough, in one form or another, which I have to make a real effrot not to do!

I really like Darcy's Angie bold and Danielle fonts - but I am addicted to Libby's alphas, my favourite I think being the one from Love Shack, closely followed by the one from Top of The World.

I've always been into paper, multiple photos, and templates. That hasn't changed. Lately I've been leaving more white space, using a few small clusters of elements instead of single elements, and bordering LOs more (usually by layering papers or stitching around the outside). Oh, and since December I've been on a girly kick after so many years of scrapping just my boys. My favorite fonts right now are my custom Darcy font and SP Coffee Break.

I would have to say clustering/layering, worn overlays and stitching. I go back and forth between one photo, multi photos or repeating the same photo.

Mine is definitely using a torn paper action on my background papers- which I've been stacking like 2-3 on each layout!
