The latter presented a problem for me, I don't have any charms. Then I remembered my daughter had a clearout some time back and I had "rescued" quite a few things from the bin, including a little Snoopy mobile phone charm. When I first started card-making, I was ecstatic to discover that Stampabilities make Peanuts stamps, I bought quite a few at the time, and although I haven't used them much (some not at all), I will never get rid of them because I'm so happy that they exist!! So now that I had my Snoopy charm, out came one of the stamps, I blew the dust off it, and here's my card:
I'm also entering this into Crafty Angels (Something old, something new), Simon Says Stamp (Sing it Baby - the song that is stuck in my head now "Hang on Snoopy", such a stupid song!), Cute Card Thursday ("whateva" - bless their DT, we had 444 entries for anything goes last week on PaperPlay - so much commenting!) and Totally Papercrafts (going to the movies).
Here's a little close-up of my image - I coloured with distress inks and highlighted the balloons with glossy accents:
Recipe:
Papers: Cosmo Cricket "Lil' Man"
Stamp: Stampabilities "Snoopy Happy Birthday"
Colouring Medium: Distress Inks
Other: Blue flower handmade, other flowers, gems, ribbon, BG button, charm from stash, needle + thread

A gorgeous card Julie, I love Snoopy and your design is so gorgeous and wonderful colouring too. You asked about the pebbles in my Tilda card recently and they aren't painted just little dabs of a pearl pen. Have a good Sunday. Chris :)
