FCCB#219 - Day at the Beach (Fun Times Beach Bucket)

Since I am on Team B of the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog this is really my first official post for the Design Team so I had to go all out!  The challenge for this week is to create a project that has to do with anything Beach Related!

I decided to make this cute little little beach bucket and I used a little chalk on the sun and wave die cuts to give a little more definition to the shapes.  I used the Life's a Beach (Castle & Waves) & Pack your Bags (Sun) Cricut Cartridges.

I  also decided to actually add some sand the to the sandcastle die cut so I stuck it through my Xyron sticker maker and then sprinkled some of the sand on top to make it actually look like sand castle!

I could not resist making a little tag for the handle!   I used some brown chalk on the sun.
