What a fantastic layout for so much journaling! What a great treat to meet the designer you've been working with in person; how cool is that? I hope they found your journal. Your use of elements on the page is great just enough to accent and let the photos and journaling do the talking.
Love the journaling.. I found out about this retreat a bit too late to go and it would have been so easy being in Utah. Super fun photos and looks like you all had a great time.
