The Three Muses Challenge - Keys

I love the theme this week for the Three Muses Challenge - Keys. Ever since I was a child a big set of keys always invoked images of hidden treasures, a room full of mysteries and doors that opened unto unbelievable sights. Every time I would go with my Mother or Grandmother flea marketing or antiquing I would spot some keys. I usually would come home with a few wondering what secrets they unlocked.

This weeks theme sent me in a spin of ideas. I found this picture of these men earlier this week in my New York Public Library file and have been itching to use it. I figure these guys held the key to a lot of things, the railroad, the telegraph system, the postal system, banks, etc. This of course led to a whole new world. So who is your key holder?

A Little Key Freebie for You

Here is a little digital key freebie for you. I played around with a few backgrounds and photos I had when I was working out the key challenge. I think this will make a cool background for some other things. I am going to cut it into pieces and use it as a border for some journaling. I hope you can use it.
