By The Sea Pot

I have an altered metal bucket for That's Crafty this week. This came with an Easter egg in it at the weekend and I must admit I was more interested in the bucket than the egg.

I have been redecorating my kitchen and I wanted something pretty to hold a plant on the window sill. I chose a seaside theme as a friend who I had not seen for a while came to visit and as he walked into the kitchen mentioned how much it made him think of a beach hut so this set of stamps by the Artistic Outpost seemed the perfect choice for my pot.

Full details and a few more photo's are on the That's Crafty Blog if you fancy popping over for a read on what I have done.

Sunday Post Card Art.

I am the hostess on Sunday Postcard Art this week. I have chosen the theme of Halloween with a Christmas twist. I chose this way back in April/May time, and I must admit I have actually doubted my sanity with this theme as I sat there blankly for ages with not an idea in my head (I think the idea I have back in April must have fallen out and got lost). But this is what I have come up with a Santa image masked with broom and Halloween head so it was cut out as one image and layered onto the background.
Thanks as always to Mandy for all the hard work she puts in to run the challenge and it would be great if you could pop on over to the blog to show your support for her.

Enjoy the rest of your day, Carol x
