Ok, I've been thinking about this for a while and have been trying to figure out how to explain what is in my mind....

Create a picture using postage stamps - but the postage stamps have to be part of the picture. For example, maybe you have a postage stamp of a lion's head - put the stamp on your background and then finish the lion's body by drawing or collage or whatever. Maybe you could do a whole zoo of animals - with stamps for all the heads....

Or maybe you could make a flower garden using all sorts of flower postage stamps.

If you have a birthday cake stamp you could draw or collage a table for it to sit on - and then add stamps of people's heads for your party guests (and then draw or collage their bodies)....

The postage stamps need to be part of the picutre - not just an embellishment - does that make any sense at all?

The finished piece should measure 4" x 6". Use a sturdy background - cardstock, watercolor paper, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions because I know this is really confusing!!

Not that confusing, even to me whom English is second language ;)))

It should turn out similar to this:

Right?

What a creative mind you have Laura to think up all these swaps! Love the sample @MichelleWillow

I have lots of extra stamps if anyone needs some. PM me with a theme and I'll look through my stash. : )

@MichelleWillow - that is a perfect example! However, mine won't be anywhere near that wonderful! I would love to see more examples!

I got an envelope the other day with a bunch of tree stamps so I am thinking that I might use those and put them on a hill, then I'm not sure.
