The Three Muses - Journal a Quote


Late last year my cousin sent me a travel journal written by our Great Aunt and Uncle of their holiday in France and Switzerland in July 1955,  this gave me the inspiration for this week's challenge.
The two photos, pressed flower, cable car ticket and 'writing' are from the journal, the background is Googled, cord from Holliewood Studios, Graphics Fairy handed me the hand, I used Kathryn Balint's photo edges and Difference maker texture from SHC.

    And this artwork of yours is just perfect my friend!

    I love that you have used "real life" ephemera to add to your most beautiful, vintage journal. Superb.
    PS - Don't talk to me about cable cars in SF. As a tourist there a few years ago I made the mistake of trying to get on one in an area which was (unknown to me) a dropping off area. When I got up onto the first step the conductor actually put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me off. I was lucky not to fall. I didn't leave my heart in San Francisco.
