April Challenge - Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of our reveal! I hope you have enjoyed the extra inspiration from The Flying Unicorn this month. Thank you so much to the owner Alda for sponsoring us each month this year and for the cross promotion this month! You input is invaluable!!

Have fun with this one everyone. 

Journalling Theme: "An event that changed my life..." 

You are free to interpret our theme ANY WAY you like. It is for your inspiration and this theme word DOES NOT need to be part of your title or journalling. But please make sure your layout is based on the sketch below and includes journalling (hidden journalling is fine). Acceptable journalling is MORE than just a sentence, or generic writing such as date/place etc. It needs to be present and at least 3 lines long. Remember, hidden journalling (under a photo/tag or behind your page) is perfectly fine but please DO let us know in your post where your journalling is!
