What's your Style?

Is there a certain style or page layout for scrapbooking that you seem to keep going to?? There is for me and it is frustrating me!
I do a lot of 'L' shaped layouts with a strip of PP down the left of the page then ribbon or embellishements down the botton going to the right. I was trying so hard today not to do ANOTHER one..my first layout I succeeded but my second one I just ended up giving in. If you scroll through my blog you will get an idea of what I mean.

Here are todays 2 layouts using some of my new papers :)

I will be teaching 3 classes at the Scrappin' Outback retreat this year. My Friday arvo class is ready to go but I am yet to design my other 2. I am inlove with the papers I have here to use though...will drool over them for a bit longer ;)

Not Very Productive

We had our craft day at the church today...after a long break. In 3 hours I was only able to complete 1 layout :( My problem being my lack of photos!! I really need to get onto that so I can start thinking about my classes for the Scrappin' Outback retreat.
Here is the layout i completed. Those gorgoeus flet accents and ribbons are by Mindy Terasawa.
This photo is of Bree right before our Youth Service on Saturday night. Ashlee picked her clothes for her :)
