Stopped over at the Graphics Fairy the other day and saw this post ... Swoon is right ! I love old postcards ( found here), thanks so much Graphics Fairy for posting them !! So of course I had to print them off !! I printed two sizes on cardstock. I already had some tin cans waiting to be altered into something much better !! So I got various papers and treasures to embellish with. I distressed the edges of each postcard with my Zutter , makes it so quick & easy !
When I was all done with my cans I used a hammer and my trusty little awl to make clean holes on the sides and attached wire for handles. I also used some grungeboard on some of the tins , vintage papers, and various brads. 
So I am linking with The Graphics Fairy today on brag Monday ! Hope you have a fabulous & creative day !!

These are absolutely fabulous!!! Wow!
And we must have seen the postcard images on the same day I just used them for today's post too...how funny is that? (I made a little tag out of one of them with grunge board.) Your buckets are fantastic.
