anonrefugee - that looks great - I'll add a few... QK was big around 2006 or so...remember waiting for each new release? fibres I think were 2006-2009ish early on - the tracing templates for alphabets and shapes etc... (late 90s-early 00's) 2012-2015 project life 2015 - more project life and pocket scrapbooking but also digital PL

and when was it that we did the hand sewing? and then the little mini-sewing machine?
2004ish - colourblocking templates - I remember the Deluxe Cuts ones
BH sketches were big in the early 200os also

ooh, I remember how excited I was to buy that BH spiral-bound book... it was purple, about 6x9 inches, and had different sections: for tag ideas, border ideas, page sketches, titles, etc. LOL!!
I also had a HUGE collection of Deluxe Cuts color blocking templates. early 2000s, maybe?
Would you consider 2010-present the 'age of the diecutter?' Cameo, Cricut, Big Shot, etc. ?? Although not everyone uses them...
and when Thickers first became so VERY popular??

I also have the 2 sketch magazines and the sketches book that came out later...those I still use Love the colour blocking templates and I do pull them out every now and then - typically for a second page of a 2-page layout with lots of photos

How about hand cut letters for titles using templates, they went along with the shapes. Everyone had to perfect their xacto knife skills with that one. The UTEE craze where you melted a puddle of UTEE then stamped into it? or put it in the freezer to make it "crack". That was about the time of serendipity squares right? Oh, and border punches and decorative scissors. These were all in the 90's.

This is fun! The trend I never embraced was cutting my photos into shapes. Thank goodness for that! I have a friend that still does it and I just cringe every time. They are her books, so I don't care, but I still cringe, LOL.
I bought lots of fibers back in the day and never did figure out what to do with them!

I scrap haphazardly, not in chronological order or real time. I know someone who tries to match her products with the age of photos. At first I thought it a little odd, but as I make kits it's got an appeal. It might make the pages reflect other trends of the time, or not? Is there a list online documenting past styles or trends? For example when I started, about 1995, color blocks and geometrical shapes were big. Creative Memories influence? LOL I know I wanted more! 1998 sticker sneezes were still happening, but I was still simple Any suggestions for other years? I just realized I've had this hobby over 20 years! I just wanted to say that you are my scrapbooking twin. I also started in 1995 with Creative Memories I have never been able to scrap chronologically as well. My friends think that's weird. Wasn't it in the early 2000's when Becky Higgins sketches became super popular? Prima flowers and stickles made their debut in my album around that time too. And eyelets and those crazy fuzzy fibers.

I don't know why I care, but for some reason, cutting photos into shapes bothers me. I am all about cutting down a photo though. And I did go through a time when extra photos got cut into letters of title.

I did that once, with extra lake photos.

I'm going to say 2011-12 is when die cutters went seriously mainstream. Everyone i knew online was getting a Cameo at that point.

Great list, anonrefupea! I would add FOILING (as in the Minc tool) to 2015. And FOILED pp & accents to 2016. Wondering where these would fit in: Naked chipboard? Rub-ons? Hand dry embossing (with a stylus)? Embossing folders? Wet embossing? seems like every time I mastered something--like using patterns to cut and assemble paper piecing, or learning how to apply foil--something easier would come along--like diecutting systems or foiled accents ready made...

I think brads were a little after eyelets - first came the eyelets without a hole and shaped eyelets and then brads became a thing (easier than eyelets) and then the brads with the hole (like eyelets) and the fancy brads (big, patterned, etc...) and then I think the adhesive shapes took off (gems and stickles and now enamel dots...)

We've had a lot of variety, haven't we? Glad y'all are adding more. I'd forgotten brads comfy - how is that possible? I didn't realize how long I've scrapped until this list! I'll update the list Monday or Tuesday.

Back in the early days I used to spend hours fussy cutting titles for my layouts, HOURS. Some products that you don't see so much anymore is magic mesh, resin buttons, felt ribbon (remember that stuff that had adhesive on one side and laser cut into different designs) and bottle caps.

Queen & Co. made a lot of those felt ribbons. That they did, I had quite a few of the different designs that I attempted to use a couple of times but found them so hard to use I got rid of them LOL.

I am so glad I never got sucked into the world of rub-ons or epoxy stickers!! I think I probably had a few of each, but tossed them when the rub-ons dried out and the epoxy stickers turned yellow... I never could get the hang of where to use a rub-on so it looked like it belonged in/on the layout.

What is a sticker Sneeze
|
|

Post by crimsoncat05 on Jan 26, 2017 16:21:05 GMT
"sticker sneeze" is the phrase we use for the old-school way of embellishing scrapbook pages at the very beginning of the modern scrapbooking trend back in the early 90s... Creative Memories called it 'sprinkling' stickers. But basically, smallish stickers were placed all over the page randomly, with no real design plan whatsoever.

This is so fun to look back on! You guys came up with so many trends I forgot about. Here are some of my thoughts (sorry if these have already been covered).
- Misting - Distressing the edge of papers [in addition to inking them] - Colorful hand lettered titles [not the same as the current hand lettering trend of calligraphy] - enamel dots--although these are recent, I think they'd go in the 2012-2015 category - jeweled dots [pre-enamel dots] - roller stamps [not the ones like the roller date stamps, the ones with a pattern that you ran through ink and ran across the page to create a pattern] - punches - those large embellishments that are created out of paper and are very intricate images like of a sandcastle, etc., they still sell them at Michael's
Current trends: - rubber embellishments - word phrase stickers/perforated word strips - calligraphy - tiny attacher staples - sewing machine on pages - typewriter
What about album trends? - Prebound paper albums [older than magnetic albums] - Magnetic albums [older than 1990s?] - Post-bound albums 8 1/2 x 11 or 12x12, maybe 8x8 or 6x6 1990s-2000s - 3 ring albums 12x12 2009ish-now - varying sized albums: 9x12, 6x12 2014ish-now - pocket pages 2012-now - mini albums with varying page sizes

This is fun! fuzzy fibres...tee hee!
No one has mentioned overlays: there was a while where hambly especially did acetate; I know KI memories was in there too. What years? 06-09 maybe?
And what about the switch from 1 sided to 2 sided papers, and from thin to thicker cardstock quality paper? I remember when Chatterbox hit stores: I LOVED the double sided thickness, but was appalled at the price...
And I really feel we need to add when AC Thickers hit the market, because they totally changed titles, and my hoarding skills, forever. When do you think they emerged? My oldest packages have no date. I remember being so excited when then released foam, and then vinyl ones!!!

Don't forget doodling...I hated that look. I am doing a very big album at the moment and I am using lots of my old embellishments and loving it. Brads are my new favorite once again. Lots of magic mesh and ribbons. So much fun rediscovering the old stuff. I always hated inking edges and tearing as none of mine ever looked very good. Oh, and I don't think Project Life is even scrapbooking...it is more like the old magnetic page albums.

Oh, and I don't think Project Life is even scrapbooking...it is more like the old magnetic page albums. I fully agree with this about PL. I had a lot of magnetic albums and also albums with pockets from the 1980's which seem exactly the same as PL, except with PL you buy a bunch of pre-printed cards to slip into the slots. I have too many photos to use up space with pre-printed cards. But if it get photos into albums for some people, that is what is important. I recently took a class with Shimelle, and the paint and ink splattering is something she does on almost every layout. I love the return of hand lettering. I remember when essentially all pages were "themed" events.

I don't know what year, but remember those gigantic 18x18 Martha Stewart albums?
how about swaps...I know for sure that was 2002-3 because that was when I joined scrapjazz and got crazy into them.
fibers were big then too, because i threw all mine away before a big move in 2005.
