 ...over the sneek previews for CHA.  it looks like orange and/or purple are making statements in color choices.  i'm not usually into purples for some reason.  i like the color but find it hard to work with.  but, i think it was, MME had some awesome papers w/ cute owls.  and orange is in so many lines.  great for spring/summer/fall photos.  can't wait!

what trends does everyone else think will be the "it" thing?

 I am hoping we will see more bight and less distressed.

 I like the colors to somewhat match or co-ordinate with the colors of fashion and this past year they haven't even come close.

The owls are over-done for me. They have been out of style for quite a while and I don't understand why the SBing industry has been hanging on them like a security blanket.
All things 80's is super in right now so I'm really ready to see the trends reflect some of that.

 I'm with you on the purple aspect on sbing.

 I just go with the flow.

I think we're going to see a lot of love and Vday stuff.  Our release does have greens for sure.  I already have my favs and I can't wait to get my hands on them! 

 I am not real sure about purple either ... but I used to not use yellow a lot but it's finding it's way into my work lately.

Haven't really thought about it.  There was one line I wasn't really into though.  I'm getting into the GLitz girls though.  For some reason I'm flocking toward pink and black.

 I love purple so it is all good with me.....but of course, I am anxious to see anything NEW and FUN!

 Oh me too!   I just can't wait till there in the shop, I'm saving my pennies in order to get the new lines I'm drooling for!

 i agree that the purple is a very hard color to work with. but, i take a lot of my photos in b&w...so these new colors will look fantastic with them. can't wait to start filling up my basket with all these new products!!!

 Yuk.  I tend to really hate orange.

But I love purple!!!

lol i used to hate orange too.  but now i know it has to be the right shade of orange.  and usually used with a cool color hue like blue or green.  i noticed a lot of summer pics the past few years go with orange. but with that said, i don't own many orange papers!?!

 I have been really excited viewing everything!! YEAH i dont see the biggie about owls either!! NOT really that big of a fan of the owl stuff i am seeing but who knows???

 Purple has never been my favorite.  I do like it with orange though.  I especially love the new Heidi Grace brown and purple line with orchids on it.  Gorgeous!

 Depends on the shade of purple for me. I've been really loving brown the last few years...brown and pink, brown and blue. Lately I've been liking lavender and brown.
