Numerous scrapbookers I know do not use scrapbook charms in their albums. Why is this? Well some of the ones I talked to didn’t even know such things existed, while others just plain forgot that they existed. I actually couldn’t create what I do without them!

In case this is the 1st time you have come across the term, scrapbook charms are very like charm bracelets. These are little piece of metal cut, pressed and painted to seem like tiny versions of everything, whether its scissors, minnie mouse or a ribbon, actually they can be anything!

In a similar way that tailors have a tray full of buttons, my scrapbook supplies are a a tray full of all kinds scrapbooking charms. Some of these I have come from stores, while others I have actually taken from some of my old charm bangles.

So why should you be using these charms in your scrapbook? Well, they truly bring a scrapbook to life, it actually shows that you care about the small details and makes an extra contribution to the theme of the scrapbook.

Many times I have come across scrapbooks which are missing the finishing touches. The pages were beautiful and conscientiously decorated, but just felt a little dry and clinical. If the creator had added some scrapbook charms in the right places, it truly would have added a lot of personality to the book and taken it from good to great!

Its hard to describe the sensation you get when you see an album which has had a few special charms added in here and there. However, most scrappers I have talked to agreed that charms truly do add a little touch of magic when included.

So now you are able to add a touch of magic to your next project with some scrapbook charms.
