Annie, I noticed that no-one has responded to your question yet. I can't see your photo, but can give clues to identification. Poison Ivy leaves are compound, having three leaflets. (I'm sure you can find photos elsewhere on his site.) Usually the middle leaflet has a short stem; the side leaflets do not. Virginia Creeper is also a compound leaf, but has five leaflets around a common center (palmately compound--like your fingers around your palm). Hope this helps.
