Six More Embellishments!


As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are talking about numbers this year! Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are inspired by the number 6 with an optional theme of using 6 embellishments!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this!  

My 6 embellishments are:  2 tickets, filmstrip, film reel, button, tag, and embroidery floss.
