Basic. Pattern paper, cardstock, diecuts (manual, electronic, store bought). If I do anything extra I'm proud of myself. 🤣

My personal style involves lots of layers, Nuvo Drops, and peeling things up and moving them. As I tend to say, “It’s not a layout by me until I’ve peeled something up!” A friend of mine was looking through the current Creative Scrapbooker magazine and told me she saw an “Amy layout” and then realized it was Amy’s layout! I had to laugh. It seems so foreign to me that anyone could look at something and recognize it as my style. lilacgal, do you know what looks great with lots of layers and Nuvo drops? Torn edges. I bet you'd love the look!

Im clean and simple. No clutter or busyness. My favorite pages have machine stitches on them.

My style keeps evolving. During the height of scrapbooking, I was open to trying all sorts of new things. I even did digital for for 4 years. I had come back to paper and settled into a more simple style. And this year, I have transitioned into pocket pages and I have to say I am loving it. It feels good to me to do more journaling, to scrap the everyday kind of pictures. I am just having a really good time with it. So I guess I would describe my style as open and curious. I have no fear of trying just about anything.

Too funny She’s mentioned it a couple times! I’m behind in my May BOBW videos. Started back in person at school this week for the last three weeks of school so now I’m in the classroom for Monday’s live and still asleep for Friday’s! I love things to line up properly. (That’s where the “peel it back up” part of my scrappy style comes in!) When you’re tearing paper, there’s no guarantee that where your tear starts is where it’s going to end. And you know what you have if it all goes wonky? Tear tears. (Homograph humor! #thirdgradeteacher #sorry #notreally)

Like many I’m in the clean, simple, linear and balanced camp. I love white space, small bits of patterned paper and journaling strips. I’m not good at clusters or mixed media but appreciate the work of others and keeping trying it myself.

My style is photo books (mostly 7x7), very simple, big photos, a fair number of words but not poetic or heartfelt or introspective words, minimal title/embellishment. I like Geralyn Sy supplies (but could never make my stuff look like hers), Shannan Manton (shannan_pages on IG), my style is magazine-ish like CZ but I don't like her so I'd prefer to be compared to Shannan I have tried to do more crafty pages but I've given up on that now. I do create messier ephemera pages in TNs with stickers and washi. Smaller scale pages are more my thing. I save my patterns and colors for cardmaking.

My style is simple, graphic design-inspired, and hybrid. I like playing with pattern and white space, and fonts. Little to no lumpy stuff and I’m over embellishments that fall off or color shift. I scrap 8x8, which I find a good size for a photo or two plus journaling, and it’s easy to print elements on Letter paper.

I think my style would best be called "whimsical". I love putting clouds, butterflies, bows and little embellishments on things. I like mixed media and stitching on LO's. I tend to do a lot of one photo pages with big photos and then do LO's with a bunch of little photos...pretty much there's no rhyme or reason to what I do, it just depends on my mood. (I'm also really bad about not doing the journaling, I often struggle to make it fit into the design.)

Clean and simple with mainly pocket pages in various sizes all mixed together. I'm almost the same. I like clean lines and fairly simple layouts and pretty much only do pocket pages and TN's. My style "guru" is Heba from My Little Journal. Thank you for introducing me to Heba. I just spent my lockdown Sunday bingeing her process videos on YouTube. I like her style, clean and simple with a touch of embellishment. I like how her spreads are cohesive despite being different colours, etc

I'm not sure how I'd describe my style. I know it's going through a bit of a transition right now. I used to start with white cardstock almost all the time but these days I'm reaching for more patterned paper for my backgrounds. Shimelle's half and half class has certainly pushed this change but it's also driven by the realisation that I don't generally use a whole lot of pattern when I start with white cardstock and I really need to make a dent in my paper stash.
I like subtle mixed media backgrounds. I occasionally break out all the mixed media stuff, but often just do the packaging technique. I love clusters made up of lots of layers finished with little sprinkly bits like enamel dots or mist. Any number of photos is fine and I do a good mix of single, double, and pocket pages. I'm enjoying stamping on a lot of my pages, including making my own journaling cards or embellishments.
My pages are busier than some of yours, but cleaner and simpler than others and I have no idea how to really describe it.

I’ve only recently been watching Shimelle’s lives now that she’s doing them on YT and I was wondering who the “Amy” was! Makes it more fun when it’s someone you recognize!!

Thanks for your responses. My style is simple, clean, linear, cardstock intensive, mostly flat, & story focused (ie extensive journaling) or "magazine-ish" as joblackford aptly described. I occasionally include minimal mixed media, such as basic stamping, stenciling, etc., & exclusively scrap 12x12 (with various sizes & configurations of page protectors included to hold extra photos or memorabilia).

I like using bright colors, embellishment clusters, layering of patterned paper and white space for everything to breath. I use lots of sprinkle-y bits (enamel dots, flicked paint/sprays). I prefer embellishing on the diagonal, rather than the "visual triangle". I often have things off-centered and crooked/not straight. One page layouts of 1-2 photos. I like large titles and tend to do very little journaling. InstagramI just checked out your Instagram...so inspiring! I LOVE your pages!
