May Inspiration Challenge

Happy May and welcome to this month's inspiration challenge!

This month I am using the "inspiration" theme quite literally and asking you to create a page about who, or what, inspires you. This can be a person who inspires you, an inspirational moment, a time when you triumphed, or even something that keeps you moving on or inspires you to aim higher. Think of ways to tell the inspirational story through your words, photos, and/or design.

Here is my page:


The journaling reads: each of you are so incredible in my eyes. life with you has been so wonderful for me and you have enhanced my life in ways i never imagined possible, especially in how to live life. you each have faced challenges throughout your short years here on earth and have handled them so amazingly. you work through the issues with grace and determination and, usually, with positivity. and then you move on with a smile and full heart. you have taught me so much, and i continue to learn from you each and every day. through these lessons, you have, and continue to, inspire me. your example inspires me to give more freely...to love more unconditionally...to see the brighter side of things...to work harder for what i want...to overcome my fears and work through my setbacks...to live this life for me and not care what other’s opinions may be...to see the sunshine through the rain...and mostly to be the best me i can be. because each of you are your best selves, and that is definitely something that is good for our souls.

Please remember the monthly challenge rules: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread.

The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month:

2 challenges = 10% off
4 challenges = 20% off
6 challenges = 30% off

If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).

Enjoy! I look forward to seeing your inspiring pages!
