April Inspiration Challenge

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the April Inspiration Challenge! How is it possible that we are in April already?

I have always loved looking at the artwork of record album covers. Like music, there are so many different styles out there.

For this month’s Inspiration Challenge, I thought it would be fun to choose a music (record) album cover as inspiration for your page. There is so much inspiration available through an online search or Pinterest. You are also welcome to use a cover from your own music collection if (like me), you still own vinyl!

There are many options for this challenge. You could use the theme, colors, design or graphic style of the cover as inspiration for your page. Alternatively, you could use the album cover to create a page about a favorite band of yours, or maybe even a music concert you have attended.

Your challenge this month is to search online for a music album cover you like, (or already own), and use it as inspiration for your page.

When you post your layout in this thread, please include an image of the album cover that inspired your page.

You are welcome to add journaling if you wish, and there is no requirement or limit on the number of photo’s you can use on your page.

I chose the cover of the “Hejira” album by Joni Mitchell as inspiration for my page.



I was inspired by the blended path, trees and clouds. My page. (Credits linked.)



Please remember our 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 April 2022 Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and also posted in 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 $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad! 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).

Have fun with this challenge. I can’t wait to see what you create!
