"Charming" at JustRite Stampers - *Edited

One of my favorite challenges to enter each week is the one at JustRite Stampers Challenge Blog - and. . . . this week, their challenge is to "add a charm" to your project.   This was a great challenge for me because I had bought dozens of cute little metal charms years ago from a company called Maude & Millie (now out of business) that I seldom use.  Yet, they really are cute, so I don't know why I don't use them more often.  This challenge got me using something old and somewhat forgotten; so that's always a good challenge.  Not to mention, their prizes are JustRite stamp sets, which I LOVE as well.  So, you can't go wrong.

*Edit:  I have added my friend's name to the card.  There is a close-up of this also.  I knew just who needed to get this special little card.

 

 

I also used up some old products on this card.  This line at patterned papers, glitter papers (which you can't see, but the background is big black glitter circles on black cardstock, as well as the black frame, and the letter stickers are all from the Making Memories Sabrina line, which is several years old.  Yet, when I have something old that I know I love, it's always a treat to revisit that line and get creative with it.  I knew I wanted to use this black and pink theme, so these were just the right fit.   Use up your stash, right?

Here are the challenges I'm entering with this card.
