TN Time for September 2019 deadline is approaching and I got 2nd layout made

2nd layout for TN Time challenge has been made. I've continued using the bright citrus colors, however this go-round I've turned my journal book on its side in order to accommodate the size of the cropped snapshots.

My TN Time layout no 2 in my Morris Family Reunion 2004 journal:

TN Time challenge has 2 parts presented by 2 fabulous crafters & bloggers:

My Happy Life= link=https://loriannie670.blogspot.com/2019/09/tn-time-with-lisa-lori-september_10.html

My Creative Endeavors= link= http://createdbylisa.blogspot.com/2019/09/travel-september-tn-time-with-lisa-lori.html

Lisa presents the sketch layout and Lori provides the prompt(s). I've rotated the image of the sketch layout so that it is oriented like mine:

Lori's blog has 9 items to select a minimum of 3 from. The list includes: hearts, flowers, labels, tags, die-cuts/ephemera, banners, polka dots, stamps, and/or washi tape. For this LO: flowers, label, and washi tape are my 3 elements.
