1. Gold, gold, gold!
From washi tape, to vellum, to gold foil papers! It's all about the gold! Watch for other metallics sneaking in too.
Gold Doilies-Studio Calico
Washi tape-Little B
Foil papers-Fancy Pants
Gold bows-Maya Road
Vellum-WR Memory Keepers
2. Pinks
Bright and intense, pale and soft, and everything in between, pretty much everyone had a shade of pink.

We have watched this move from kraft to grey and now black. All the vivid colors being shown this time around are really popping against the black.

4. Brush script or handwriting
Love this trend. Its stemming from the chalkboard trend. Which moved us into using handwriting and drawn fonts. I love this. Big time.

7. Stencils
By far the biggest trend I saw. Everywhere. Used with inks, sprays, modeling pastes, and a million more creative ideas.
Hazel and Ruby-repositionable stencils! Peel, use, remove, use again and again!
Jillibean Soup. Again repositionable, but they also have coordinating stamps!!
Mod Podge/Plaid Crafts
Heidi Swapp/Pink Paislee-mini stencils! How cute!
Other observations:
- Washi tape-metallics, shaped, sheets for die cutting
- Arrows
- Dies for everything
- Lots of basics-stripes updated with diagonals and thick stripes, and polka dots updated with hearts
- Pocket page scrapbooking-tons, loving the die templates from Technique Tuesday to make your own cards
- Home decor-chalkboards, pallet wood for altering, canvas items
- Woodgrain-real wood sheets, decoratively cut 12x12 wood sheets, wood 3x4 cards, woodgrain papers, stencils, stamps

thank you for taking the time to post all these pics...
Hey, Kimberly! Thanks for taking so many wonderful photos! It was like being there! Love the new trends - gold! chalkboard! hand-drawn fonts! PINKS! Oh, MY! Robin :)
Thanks for the pictures! I have been wondering about the industry lately. With Archivers closing all of its stores and my local scrapbook store struggling, it makes me wonder if the manufacturers are slowing down in making new stuff. We still have Michaels and JoAnns, but Archivers had so much more. I did my best to support them!
Can't wait to see more!
Thanks for sharing all of this! /Loving these trends.
