September Journaling Challenge

Hello everyone!!
I am here to bring you the journaling challenge this month. I typically stick to minimal journaling on my layouts, but I wanted to change it up a bit this month.

As kids in our part of the world are returning to, or have already returned to school, I wanted to take a moment and remember my summer vacation. I just came back from the most beautiful place...and it happens to be pretty much in my backyard. I seriously can't believe that it's taken me over 40 years to go here.

I'm talking about Banff, Alberta - which is only about 8 hours away from me. And it's absolutely beautiful. If you ever have an opportunity to travel here, I promise, it will not disappoint!!

This month, I want you to journal about a vacation you went on. It can be from this summer, last summer, years ago, when you were a kid...it doesn't matter. But I want to hear about why it was special to you. Tell me all about it, and let's inspire each other to travel the world!!
Because this is a journaling challenge, you must have at least 10 sentences of journaling.

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful Moraine Lake...can you believe that this is a straight out of the camera picture???



Remember:
Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Your page should be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the September Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked, and to this thread (please use the share BB IMG code found on the right side in the gallery).

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).

Take me around the world and inspire me!!!
