Buzz Words from CHA Winter
At CHA Winter, there were great new buzz words going around in the scrapbooking industry. So, here's the top three:
Green: "Green products are items that are friendly to our environment and a considerable number of manufacturers are letting us know it's time to go green. Society is going green, are you?
Hybrid: This one is especially fun! "Hybrid" is the changing up and interaction between two different art and craft techniques, like digital scrapbooking is a hybrid of traditional scrapbooking, i.e. Hybrid Scrapbooking. Hybrid cardmaking is the hybrid of traditional cardmaking. Hybrid Embossing is the new way of embossing. (using dimensional paint versus traditional embossing powder)
Crafting: Crafting is back! We sensed a renewed interest in old favorites like painting, clay, bead, jewelry, ribbon, and needlearts. And the color! Bold, rich, sassy, and clean. Distressing using bright colors and bright inking!
