Hello, hello! I'm excited to host the May inspiration challenge. I often find layout design inspiration in other types of design. This month I turned to interior design - specifically, gallery walls! What is a gallery wall? "A gallery wall is a curated, dense arrangement of multiple framed art pieces, photographs, mirrors, or personal mementos grouped together on a single wall to create a cohesive focal point, add personality, and display diverse collections."
I rounded up a few different gallery wall images for you take inspiration from:
The most obvious way to take inspiration from this is to create a gallery wall design on your scrapbook page, framing multiple photos. I chose to create a simple layout of photos & pocket cards. BUT, you don't have to interpret it so literally - I invite you to be inspired by anything you see in the above images! Color palette, composition, texture - just be sure to let me know what inspired your layout when you post it here! I was also inspired by the minimalist feel and neutrals in the bottom left image.

Inspiration Challenge Rules:
**Note: When posting in the gallery, please post to the member gallery and then tag the "Inspiration challenge", and tag all the designers of the products used.
Also: Please link pages in the forum threads for challenges with the Copy GALLERY BB code
This helps the Pollys for checking challenges, plus everyone for leaving Love in the gallery!!! Thanks!
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 May 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. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).
Have fun creating!
