you're my style

I went on a little retreat with my girlfriends this past weekend to Leavenworth. We rented a cabin and sat around doing scrapbooking and making cards and even digital scrapbooking (I have a few friends in my group who are really getting into digital and one even brought her whole CPU!) And then of course we also spent a lot of time laughing, eating chocolate, and hanging out in Leavenworth. It was a sunny weekend...perfect!

I realized something while making cards this weekend...I design better cards when I don't have kids crawling all over me while I work! Imagine that! The card above is one I made at our retreat and I just LOOOOOVVVVEEE it...it's my style. You know what else happened with this card that I did not intend at all? See how my spiral hardware ring matches the spirals on the chair image?! Isn't that cool? ha ha! It wasn't planned...I was just trying to use my SU hardware. I always use our retreats as a way to use up supplies that have been sitting around forever. ;)
