Discovering Your Scrapbooking Style: Sophisticated

Continuing in our series on Scrapbooking styles, today we'll take a look at "Sophisticated Style."  Similar to "Artsy" there is usually a lot to these projects, but in a more classic style than the modern artsy.

Some of the characteristics you see in Sophisticated Style are:

Accents & Embellishments that are dressed up beyond their original form

Lots of Embellishing

Sewing & Stitching

Handmade Embellishments making for a one of a kind layout

Multiple Fonts

Journaling Cards

Patterned Papers used as ribbons, pleating,  and in flowers

Monochromatic Coloring

Flourishes

Stamping

Rich Colors

Ribbons

Glitter & Bling

Uses lots of current trends

Paperfolding techniques

Here's several examples for you of Sophisticated Layouts

 Aymee works a lot in this style and was the first person that came to my mind as I was reviewing it.

With a love for creating my own embellishments, mixing up fonts, and pretty much everything else on the list; this is definitely one of my favorite styles to work in.

Jannike created the above two layouts

The more I look at the different styles, the more I am realizing which categories I fit into and hopefully by the end of this series you'll get an idea of where you fit too!  See ya tomorrow!
