I'm sure you all have noticed the absence of Marie (Ozstuff) in the last couple of weeks. Marie is recuperating from major surgery. In the interim, Ann and Bev will keep our Three Muses, Take a Word and Digitalmania challenges up and running. We know you join us in sending Marie our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery.

UPDATE: 10/27: Marie is having a long and difficult recovery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.


UPDATE: 12/22/19 Marie's recovery continues. Each step in her progress is to be celebrated. Your healing thoughts are welcome.

Three Muses Challenge - Architecture


This week our theme is "architecture".  This sample shows that the addition of one or two digital brushes (or rubber stamps) add greatly to an otherwise simple design.  As mentioned in the Sneak Peek, the word architecture covers a wide range of backdrops - buildings, or part thereor, doors, windows, arches, interesting walls.  The list is endless.  Have fun!!

Three Muses - ONE

A single cardinal on a snowy day; and  a single poppy on a black and white background.  These are the examples of ONE that I offer.  I can't wait to see yours!   Credits are on my blog.

I'm posting very early because I was lucky enough to get into Blogger.  I am having major problems with my computer, so I took the opportunity when I had it.   If I don't comment on your work (which I am sure will be creative and beautiful), forgive me, and know I've been invaded by cyber gremlins! .........     Bev

Three Muses - Musical Instruments


Music is intricately woven into the fabric of our lives. The sound of a particular song can take us back to a time and place long gone. It can evoke feelings of happiness, sadness and nostalgia. Musical instruments have long allowed us to express emotions without the spoken word. Viva la music!
