Easy as 1-2-3

Can you see the bikini charm, click to enlarge the photo

This week's recipe for the Cooking It Up with Katie challenge #73 is as easy as 1, 2, 3.  Something old, something new, and no, not something blue, but a favorite thing.  This week we're sponsored by the Stamping Boutique.  there's lots of cute digital images there, and there's some rubber stamps too.  There's so much cuteness I had to do an eeny, meeny, miney, mo to pick the image I would use for my sample. 
If you're anything like me and my stamping friends you probably have lots of old stuff you never got around to using so here's a chance to pull some of that out.  For my card all the papers are old.  The image is brand spanking new and my favorite is the charm.  I do love to embellish with a charm.

don't forget the inside
