Lucky Charm Blog Hop

Welcome to the Lucky Charm Blog Hop!
(Ok, I had this set to auto-post on the wrong day so I am late)

If you've come from visiting Time2Create, you're in the right place. If you were just looking at my blog and want to play along with our blog hopping fun, you can start at the beginning at Cross My Heart Papercrafts. This blog hop is all about creating something for the lucky charm in your life..

I have been creating an album for several months now focused on four generations of charm bracelets. My sister and I received ours for our 12th birthdays from my parents. My mother has one from her parents and my grandmother has one from when she was grown. I started one for my daughter for her 1st birthday.

This is a page I created for my daughter's first charm. You can see the charm in the top left corner of the layout. It is a glittering star.

The paper is Felicity from Close to My Heart. It was, admittedly, a limited edition paper pack but may still be found second hand. It was so fabulous. All of the papers are double sided. This pack included these wonderful doily-like die cut papers too.

The photo on the bottom left also has a transparent overlay with scroll work on it. When I started adding adhesive rhinestones to the page and couldn't stop, I asked my husband, "can you have too much glitter on a page about a princess?" Of course not!



I hope you enjoyed my project. Thank you for visiting my blog. Your next stop is Shawnte's Blog. Below is a list of all blog participants in case you get lost:
