The three muses.... incredible journey

The theme of the three muses challenge this week is 'incredible journey'... i could think of nothing more incredible than even the most ordinary life.
I have stamped a back groung then over stamped with various stamps to add interest. I found a small picture of a cradle, word definitions from a dictionary, and the words 'family. friends and heritage' and pasted them on.
I stamped grave stones at the bottom to try to depict the incredible journey we all take from cradle to grave.... even if like me you have a very ordinary life... its one hell of an incredible journey.
