    Happy May everyone!

    I hope that this challenge is finding you and your loved ones all safe and healthy.

    I am bringing you the May Inspiration Challenge this month. And since we are all stuck at home, I have been reminiscing about the travels I did this year. This past year was the first time that I really had an opportunity to travel.

    My daughter spent a year abroad in Italy on a student exchange and we decided that we would go during her last few weeks to visit with her and her host family. It was such an amazing trip, and definitely placed the wanderlust bug in my soul.

    More recently, my sister decided to get married in Hawaii, and initially there was no way that I would be able to be there, but an amazing mutual friend made it possible. So, I took my little guy on his first plane ride and surprised my sister. It was the first trip that I had taken to Hawaii that was for pleasure only (I have been there 4 other times, but to play basketball – so never really had the opportunity to enjoy the island life). And I loved it, because it was relaxing and more importantly, most of my family was there for the wedding.

    Looking through all these photos definitely inspired me. And although I have enjoyed my time at home with my family over these past 6 weeks, I cannot wait to be able to travel again!!

    Your challenge this month is to get inspired by somewhere you have travelled. Make a layout and show me some fabulous places that I HAVE to go when this world quarantine is over!! And if you haven’t had the opportunity to travel, make a layout about somewhere you want to travel after this is all over.

    Here is the layout I made about my wonderful trip to Hawaii

    I can't wait to plan a trip around the world with your fabulous pages!!

    As always, 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 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).

    I was suppose to go to Italy for the first time with my 19 year old daughter May 5th. Such a bummer. I have plenty of other travel memories though!

    I travel loads. Thankfully lots of memories, but I am sure by the end of the year I will be suffering from withdrawals.

    Even though it's only a few miles away, the jetty is where I will go as soon it's open again. (Both halves are posted separately in the gallery)

    I probably should have done our England trip, but Disney is always a wonderful trip for us and we are planning to go again as soon as its safe.

    @bcnatty You should definitely travel to Door County in Wisconsin in the fall. Maybe this page will entice you!

    This started out as a page for the scraplift challenge but once I added my photos, it turned into the inspiration challenge.

    This was a trip into the wild and you need proper equipment, but it was awesome. Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe.
