Anyone else gone simple with their scrapping style?

I never did super elaborate pages, but there was a time when I felt that every page had to be a work of art. At some point, I realized I didn't need to meet such a demanding standard. I still occasionally fancy up a layout more, but most of the time my pages are relatively simple by a lot of Peas/Refupeas standards.

In order to scrap as fast as I want to, I have to keep my pages simple. So I do not stamp, sew, mist, paint, etc. I do ink occasionally and I do use 3D elements. I also use patterned paper and layer it. I do mat some photos; not all.

My goal is not an artistic page but rather to tell the story of the photo with the paper and embellies. So much of my stuff is themed and I love word or phrase stickers a whole lot!

I could use my die cut machine a whole lot more, but I go in waves with that -sometimes I'll sit down and cut out a whole bunch of stuff and then nothing for months. Even then it is likely a one dimensional die cut or phrase.

I don't know if I scrap simpler than I used to, but I use less flowers than before. A couple of years ago, I would use 30-40 flowers on a page, and other embellishments too, but now I rarely use more than a handful. I layer a lot, but 5 layers of paper are still less dimensional than most Prima flowers.

my pages are typically pretty simple, I try to over the top embellish based on videos I see but it never works for me.

I've always been a simple scrapper - story-focused, extensive journaling, cardstock-intensive, clean, linear, & actual memorabilia as embellishments. Especially on pages without memorabilia, I occasionally layer papers/journaling cards, die cut titles, &/or incorporate stamping to embellish.
