TN Time with Lisa & Lori ~ October edition

Happy weekend!! I hope you will find time to play with paper this weekend!  Sorry for the delay in posting the challenge this month, but sometimes life gets in the way right??!!!  I can't believe another month has come and gone, time sure seems to fly by anymore, but sure enough it's time for the October edition of TN Time with Lisa & Lori!  
So let's get this party started: 

HERE IS HOW OUR CHALLENGE WORKS: This is a monthly challenge that launches on the 10th of each month  You will have until the 9th at midnight CST to link up your entries. If you complete my sketch challenge link your TN, bullet journal or planner spread below. If you combined my challenge with Lori's challenge link up your spread here on my blog AND on Lori's Blog (My Happy Life).  You will then have a chance to win my prize as well as Lori's prize!  That's a chance to win TWO times with ONE layout! WOW!

Now for my challenge!! Here is this month's sketch:

Now for Lori's fun challenge: (October 10th through November 9th):

So let's dust off those stamps and ink them up friends!!  I know I have a large number of stamps that I have never inked up!! Yikes!  What a simple yet striking technique to give a great look to our layouts! 
Here is my spread using both the sketch & Lori's challenge!  As you can see I chose to stamp #blessed and add it under the word strip as part of my title.  I also stamped the date on my tag where I added my journaling.
Supplies Used:  Patterned Paper: PhotoPlay Heart & Home (green dot & navy hearts) & Simple Stories So Happy Together; pom pom trim- Hobby Lobby; ink: Stampin' Up Night of Navy; stamps: Illustrated Faith Date Stamp & CTMH -blessed; sticker (floral spray) PhotoPlay Heart & Home; ephemera: Simple Stories So Happy Together; epoxy hearts: Doodlebug Designs; tags: Fancy Pants; circle dies: Stampin' Up stitched circles.

Here are a few close ups:
I just love this pom pom trim!  I have never added it to my spreads before but it was super easy to do using tacky glue!!  I am going to be doing it a lot more!!  This spread is for my 2019 TN.  This is a picture of my son and all his cousins that we took last Thanksgiving!!  We rarely all get together anymore so this was the first picture of the cousins in 3 years and my how they had grown!!  This is a treasured picture so it definitely had to go into my 2019 TN of favorite photos!! 

I added a second tag that is just pretty patterned paper, I thought it helped pop up the other tag, that is really it's only purpose...lol!  I also love the look of these epoxy tiny hearts instead of enamel dots!  These were given to me by my pal Lori and I just had to buy all the colors!!  Love them so much!!   Now for the nitty gritty details:
