Christmas STAMPED

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use a stamp. Any stamp! I chose the Hero Arts Color the Tree stamp to add a bit of retro Christmas cheer to my journal.  Recently, I posted here where I explored using my Dyan Reavely art journal.  This week, I've added a page with some of the Glitz Design Finnley papers.  I've even included a copy of a vintage family photo and some old postage stamps.
 
 
The string of "lights" was made with twine and circles cut from the trees.
And why are trees red, you ask?  Because......
 
Color is a matter of taste and of sensitivity.
~Edouard Manet
 
 Now it's your turn to stamp. Show us your stamped project by linking it to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog and you have the opportunity to win a $50 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp store. Your project could also be chosen to be in our weekly spotlight.
