Art journal week 51: Christmas tree

week51ChtreeSml

Nearly there now, only a couple more pages to do.  This is week 51 of the ukstampers challenge (last years) and the prompt is Christmas tree:

  • Do you own a real or fake Christmas tree?  Do you change the theme each year?
  • Are there certain things that have to go on your tree?  Do you have any family heirlooms for the tree?
  • Stamp a tree on your page.

We have a fake tree that goes up each year and as bit fall of it, it gets a little smaller each year.  The same old decorations get hung on it which are of no sentimental value whatsoever.  Any decorations that didn’t break the previous year get hung on the tree, along with any I have made (but there are not many of them).  I used to love counting the trees I saw in peoples windows as I passed in the bus as a child.  We have a fake tree as I don’t like the waste of growing all these real trees just to get thrown out after a couple of weeks.
