    Hello everyone! I'm so excited to host the Style Challenge this month. Lately I have been slightly obsessed with a new kind of memory keeping to support my digital scrapbooking... daily journaling in a traveler's notebook sized journal. I started in January after receiving a journal for Christmas. I also bought a tiny little printer that only prints 2x3" pictures to add to my journal. And the last few weeks I've been having a blast printing my own stickers from my digital scrapbooking stash to add to my journal.

    So, since I'm so in love with this type of memory keeping, I want you to create a layout that includes a journal or book. You don't have to create a layout in a physical book (but you can if you want to!) You just have to have something like a journal or open book on your layout and then have some journaling on one of the pages. You may also add photos if you'd like, but that's not a requirement. Then for fun add some "stickers" or elements to decorate your pages too.

    There are a bunch of awesome journals and books in the shop if you're looking for ideas to use:

    Here's a layout in my TN journal:

    Please remember our monthly challenge rules:
    * Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product.
    * Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Style Challenge Gallery and then linked to the April 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 $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 which is the first Friday of the month, April 5th. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).

    My journal is a sketchy, stylized one -- hope that's okay.

    Oh so much fun doing journaling within a book within a page. Loved doing research on ghosts from a place I recently visited.

    I love this style, and have discovered it is great for photoless storytelling this year.

    Here's my take:

    This one was a struggle for me. While I enjoy my journals, I've never put a large one onto a page before. But it turned out a really nice way to do these photos from the beginning of our vacation (which I normally would have done a pocket page style with instead).
