In stamping, last year, it was penguins, this year it seems to be owls and birds of all types and of course, cupcakes! What do you think the next big thing will be?
Okay...I vote for moos and twinchies!!!! LOL
I'm hoping the birds, owls, cupcakes and inchies stay around for awhile.
Like Cindi, I'm enjoying them and adding to my stash of rubbah!!!
I think silhouttes will be the next in thing. I think that the sizes of stamps will be smaller to go along with the trend of ATC's, inchies, moos, etc....
I really love the chandeliers I've been seeing. I just saw a cute card with one and it said "You light up my life"---can't remember where I saw it, though. I like how they tend to be so girly-girl!
I agree, I think bold bright colors, birds and cupcakes are still hot, ledger style backgrounds I am seeing more of also. Oh and felt embellishments and ribbon
Location: in my own little bubble, I like it here. Actually I'm in a tiny town in Tx with no stop light!

I am so not in to birds, I'm not sure what people see in them, lol. I am so sick of seeing them everywhere (no not real ones silly), but to each his own. I love cupcakes though. Didn't know they were a "big thing" right now , what am I missing? where are all the cute cupcakes??

Inkadinkado, Pink Paisley, Amuse, Flourishes, Papertreyink, Stampendous, My Favorite Things, and a few others all have cupcake stamp sets...and I want them all >"
I think flourishes will begin to fade out as people use them a lot now and will get over them soon, like doodles a few years ago. I think in their place will be more angular geometric shapes, kinda retro '50's to '70's.

I like looking at fashion and seeing how those trends affect home decor and then eventually cards. From what I've seen from the fall shows, it looks like gray will continue to big and of course brown will be back for fall. I *love* grays and browns better than black on my cards as accent colors! Also, like the spring, bold bright patterns seem like they'll stay into the fall with a more retro '70s feel.
I'm excited to see SU's new InColors. The new rich blue (I think it's called Pacific Blue maybe?) might end up being my new favorite. Sometimes I feel like I can never find the perfect blue cardstock even though SU already has a million shades!
I really like birds and hope they stay, I feel like I haven't gotten all the bird sets I want yet! Cupcakes and other sweets are cute for summer but I feel like once fall rolls around I won't be feeling it as much.

I think quotes are going to be the next big thing - quotes with small images around them or little flourishes or just framed up in some doodly way - but definitely quotes! I see a strong trend leaning towards simple cards with large quote stamps on the front and minimal layering and embellishments.
What do you think the next "big thing" will be
