OMMM overload

HELLOoooooooo....
So I went off to the Dandelong ranges last weekend for an amazing retreat. Its my definite annual retreat and boy there were some amazing creatives there. I had no set idea of the type of work I was going to do so I took a bit of everything, Art Journal, Scrapbooking, Index cards. and I actually did a bit of everything. (its so hard to pack with only 23kgs of space in baggage allowance on the plane). anyway more pics in a later blog about the weekend and the creatives.
what i thought that i would do is share the index cards that I created from the Mood board and a couple none mood board ones whilst I was away..
so to refresh your memory,, the moodiversary mood board..

 so they aren't in any particular order. I have tried to load according to when I created them. but I probably got mixed up....  i was mostly inspired by the colours and textures throughout the board.
