Simon Says: Show Me Something from Yesteryear

Mother Nature dumped 20+" of snow on New York City yesterday and today, which gave me the opportunity to do nothing but work on the latest Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge

I did a collage using fabric, papers, canvas, ribbon, buttons, a little stamping, some distressing, and came up with this:

Your collage is great. Best way to deal with 20" of snow is make snow cones.
