For my embellishment-challenged folks, hang on, today we're gonna do a grouping. Start by grabbing an Apron Strings kit with at least five embellishments in it - Smaller kits will have this amount, Bigger kits will have give you more choices. (If you're not using kits, collect from your stash as necessary.) Create a nice little layered grouping of three or more embellishments. For those who are challenged, this type of grouping looks good in the center of, say, four photos, near a title, or on the corner of a journaling block or focal-photo. Make the group tight, with uneven numbers - so say a small journaling tag, layered with a small bloom and a scattering of small buttons. Maybe a diecut shape, layered with a length of ribbon and a stick-pin tucked into the knot. Just know that this group will help anchor the small pieces within it and give it some weight - the pieces will feel like one element and will draw the eye to what it is near, hence the focal photo, title or journaling.
Got volleyball and soccer tonight - but just one soccer practice and with dark coming earlier and earlier, practices are shorter. Doesn't sound like much, but it is.
Happy Wednesday.

GREAT challenge, Lori.
