Craftaholics R Us Challenge #17 ~ Charms

Hello friends!! I hope you are having a wonderful week! It's time for another challenge over at Craftaholics R Us and we hope you can join us! To join in on the fun or just to check us out, simply click on the badge below....

**********************

I made these recently as party favors for a friend's baby shower. I've done this similar design several times before, just with different colors, sentiments, etc. I forget where I saw this idea originally but it's been my long time go-to for baby shower favors. They're pretty quick and easy once you get going.
I make these a lot but I've only featured them here on my blog one time before - back in 2012 - for a baby girl's shower. If you'd like to check out that post, please click HERE. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my baby boy party favors!....

I do have a card for you today, but first I have to share these photos from last night's sunset! I know pictures don't do it justice but I just had to show you anyway....

I have chosen to go with the 4th of July theme. I hadn't made any patriotic cards yet this year, so I was eager to get going on some! I will have more projects to show you this week, but for the Challenge this is what I came up with....
