Charmed by Bugaboo

This week at Tuesday Throwdown, we have a very "charming" challenge for you -- use a charm on whatever project you make to share with us. Our fabulous sponsor this week is Bugaboo Digi Stamps. They have such an adorable line of images, and they generously provided our team with some of those images with which to make today's cards. They have also provided a 7-digi-images prize pack for one lucky winner. Could that winner be you? Unless you play along, you'll never know!

For my card, I used the "Clyde Birthday" digi. I colored Clyde with Prismacolor Pencils, and added some Stickles to his wings for shimmer. Now since I don't normally buy charms and have vowed not to buy any new crafting materials this year (besides adhesive and the very occasional digi), I didn't have anything to use for the challenge. So...I had to get a little creative here. I stamped and colored a little cupcake image on a piece of my daughters' Shrinky Dink plastic, punched it out with a scalloped circle punch, and then punched a hole in the top of it. After heat-shrinking it, I tied a bit of embroidery thread through the top, and voila -- a charm! Not only did my card get finished, but seeing me stamp on the plastic got my daughters using it again, fending off hours and hours of rainy day boredom. You've gotta love when things come together like that!  :-)
