At the Stampin’ Up! convention last August, Comeka (aka HowManyCats?!) and I both won a Simply Adorned charm.
How fun these have been to create with!
In addition to being a fashionable accessory, these charms make a lovely memento. Shower hostesses, bridesmaids, guest book attendants–anyone who has helped make your big event special would be thrilled to receive one.
Use your colors to create the background. The small blossom in Bella’s Bloom makes a striking medallion when done in faux metal. . . silver or gold, just choose the one most complementary to your color scheme.
Slip the insert into the charm and the charm’s beveled glass adds subtle elegance with no added effort on your part.
Extra bonus: In less time than it takes to drive to the mall and park, you’ll have created a custom remembrance–and crossed a big task off your ‘to do’ list!
Wondering where the tiny leaf frond image comes from? It’s the flourish on the ‘From Our House to Yours’ stamp in Bella’s Bloom.

The ’Bella Locket’ Simply Adorned insert was first presented on the Stampin’ Addicts 2010 Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop.

Holly, Seeing this makes me wonder…Is there enough room inside to use one of our new mini buttons with a punched piece of dsp under it? That would be so cute. I hope to order a charm soon.
This is beautiful. Truly a lovely gift!
Gorgeous Holly! I love the faux metal medallion. I’ll have to try that with my charm. I just got mine for Mother’s Day.
