The first time I laid my eyes on this stamp set I was thrilled!  I knew exactly what I was going to do with it... make a mini album... about "my charming life"... LOL!!...

I grabbed my package of patterned papers from the new 123 Create Kit - "Prairie Chic" and some white cardstock and started designing my album.     

My So Called Charmed Life 

Mini Album - 5" x 5 3/4 "

First I pieced together my front cover and added some stitching and a simple title. I stamped my 2 charms on to Flourishes Classic White Cardstock using Memento "Tuxedo Black" ink. Then I coloured them using a variety of Copic markers. A list of the colours I used can be seen at the bottom of this post.

For my second page, I first stamped the solid heart charm and then masked it off and stamped the ornate heart charm beside it to create a layered effect.  I once again used Flourishes Classic White Cardstock with Memento "Tuxedo Black" ink.  I stamped the "Love" sentiment using Memento "Lady Bug" ink that I had stamped off first to get a lighter pink hue.

For my third page I chose to use the solid heart charm again but paired with the cute little key charm.  For each page, I used some Metallic Silver String to "hang" my charms on.

For my fourth page, I chose the sweet star charm.  I coloured it a bright yellow and added some matching adhesive stars to my page.

For my fifth and final page, I chose to use the circular charm and the cute little shamrock charm together!  I had fun using some pointillism to colour in my charm!

For all of the colouring of my charms, I used the follow Copic Collections:
