Once upon a Sketch - theme Mothers

Well for us in Australia, the second Sunday in May is Mothers Day... The day where we are waited on hand and foot by our adoring children....(cough cough!!) well that is the plan!! So it makes sense to find challenges with the theme of Mothers this month...and so it is for OUAS...

Theme: Mum
We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "Mum" however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch.

 
This month is also the month I first became a Mum nearly 27 years ago now... 
So I thought I would do a layout remembering and celebrating this.
The photo is of my son and I in 1985 so it is not of the good quality of the digital we have these days.. I can't believe how fast the time has gone... So to all you young Mums out there reading this.... cherish every moment with your children, they grow up so fast and are out in the world too soon.. yes your life is busy when they are little, but I look back on those days and I cherish them...
 
The quote I have used in my journalliing is....
 
When a baby is born, so is a Mother...
 
 and a bit of a closer view...
 
I used Kaiser Sweet Nothings papers and die cuts, Kaiser wooden clock and some really old layered flowers..
 
Thanks for coming by, and thank you for any comments too!!

  14. oh lizzy this is beautiful. I love the meaning of names too. My son's name is Joshua Nathan which is G-d's salvation and G-d gave. my daughter's name is Eliana which means G-d answered me. I love your journaling and how you used these Kaisercraft papers.
