Hats and Crowns and Wings and Things *The Three Muses*

I love this theme. I guess because I so often use those elements in my creations.



I used my favorite muse, my grandmother as a little girl....she just always makes me laugh when I see this pic of her. Such a serious face...she is always inspiring me for sure.



Next is a card I made using a sketch of a Cavalier, my favorite breed that I show and raise....they always inspire me.

Thanks ladies for the idea and hosting these challenges!

These are both great entries! Your grandmother looks so worried- but I love how you have given her a key. This really made me smile!

Grandma looks serious, but she sure is cute! It's good she has the key to what's puzzling her. Thanks for bringing her to our challenge this week. Good work.

Great job.

I wonder what your Grandmother would have made of being your muse. I'm sure it would've made her smile with pride, unlike having her photo taken which would have been an big ordeal.

This is just adorable.

The pic of your grandma made me smile. She's adorable! I havenever imagined my grandma so little and just a little girl. She will always be "LOla" (that's how we call our grandmas here :-) )

Hey Betzie~ I think we should pair your "Muses" and my napkin stationary together. I think they're a winning combination!
Tell me what you think?

Sweet wishes,
Sara

P.S You've inspired me with a splendid idea! I've got an old photo of my mother with my grandmother when mom was a young girl. I want to apply that photo like the one you've showed om a Mother's day card for my aunt. It would be a special reminder of her mom and sister who we miss and think about every Mother's Day.

sweet wishes,
Sara
