Default WT185 - Charmed, I'm Sure

Good morning! I'm hoping you'll think today's challenge is a charming one. I have a bunch of charms I've been hoarding away...saving them for the perfect project of course! I decided it was long past time to use them and I've been adding them in to project here and there. After all...I did start the ways to use it challenge for a reason. I can be a hoarder and I need a reason to so that sometimes. I'm sure many of you may be the same. To play along with this challenge...use a charm on a project...card, layout, altered item and share the results. If you don't have a charm to use...why not create one yourself? Have fun with it!

As always...please upload your NEW creations using the WT185 keyword and post a link back here. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

My sample: Steadfast Hope

WT185 Gallery Submissions

Thanks for playing along! Wishing you a beautiful day!

Julia

Plenty of charms here because I buy them and then don't use them, so this should be easy!! Thanks, Julia.

I don't think I have any charms, at least I can't think of any I have stashed anywhere. Hmmm, I'll have to think on this one. Can I use a fancy button in place of a charm?

Thanks Julia.

Thanks, Julia for the great challenge of hunting down stashed charms. I know I have some because I was using them a lot for a while.
Can't comment and play till later, I have to take my MIL to the doctor's this morning. I may be a while.
You all make some wonderful cards for me to comment on while I'm gone OK.

great challenge Julia! I made one the other day for my m-i-l who asked me to make some and didn't upload it yet. I will try to make another new one today for it. This is the first time I put a charm on a card too. Here it is- super simple one this time:

Ooh, sounds like fun!

LOL I have to laugh, because I'm also a hoarder - I'll talk myself out of even buying things sometimes because I know I'll want to "save" them! What a hoot, I have to keep telling myself "That's what they are FOR...to use!"

I don't think I own charms at the moment, but I am all for making one! Oh, I have an idea...off to play!

I love charms too. Just that little bit of something is great. Here is a scrapbook page I made for the challenge.

I love to use charms as accents but tend to hoard them for whatever reason. Here's MY CARD.
