How Charming

There is a new challenge at Paper Playtime and you do not want to miss this one. Have you ever thought about using a charm on your project, but not quite sure how? Today's challenge is perfect you! The Design Team has plenty of projects to help you get ideas on how you can incorporate this tiny embellishment, but add a lot of pizzaz.

Here is mine... 
When I found this charm, I thought she was very elegant and would be a perfect addition. I hope you agree. 
 I like to purchase my charms either in the beads department or scrapbooking section when they are on clearance. I look for muli-packs with a variety of charms since I want unique pieces. Be sure to check your craft store next time you go. You will be amazed with what you can find.

If you would like to see other projects with charms, click here , here, or here. (Just wanted you to see a variety and how easy they can be to use.)

Have fun with this challenge.

Charms...How do you attach them?

I thought I would try adding a charm to the front of a card to add a little character. I have seen them on other people's card and thought how nice they look and I figured it couldn't be too difficult. Right?
The peace charm is hanging with cream colored craft thread and I used a little glue on the back, so it wouldn't move around too much. I attached three green brads in the center of the flowers.
I was asked by a co-worker to make two religious birthday cards, so I found a set of silver crosses to include. I wasn't really sure how to attach this silver cross charm, so I just tied it to the ribbon. I am definitely looking for suggestions! I want to use charms again, but I need to find some alternative ways.
 This silver cross was super easy to attach since I was able to feed it thru the ribbon punch slots. I like this way, but I still would love to know more.  

Please let me know if you have a suggestion. I am willing to try!

I hope you have a great Valentine's Day.
