Once Upon a Sketch: April 1st sketch has gone LIVE!!!

Title: Time to Cut the Cord

Pavadinimas: Laikas nukirpti bambos virkštelę

Here's my very first layout for Once Upon a Sketch, as a design team member.
This contest is international, so I urge everyone to take part in it, no matter what your skill level or expertise in scrapbooking. Our generous sponsor Scrap Matrix is shipping prizes internationally.

Please visit the Once Upon a Sketch blog to see all of the design team's wonderful submissions, as well as to read the rules on how to partake in this sketch contest.

Remember you can create a layout, card or any other project you can adapt this sketch to. If you are creating a card, off the page or altered project, the journaling criteria does not apply to you.You can use the sketch and a quote instead.

*Journaling criteria : Your journaling has to be HANDWRITTEN and at least 25 words long.

**You have until midnight, Thursday, 14th April Sydney time (Australian Eastern Standard Time) to link your entry.

Close-up of the title:

The metal letters are heat embossed with Ranger's 'Vintage photo' embossing powder, and inked with orange pigment ink to simulate rusted letters.

This layout is about my eldest son's first ride on the school bus. I was supposed to be happy that I'll have more time for myslef, but as I watched my 'baby' being driven away in the bus, I felt sadness that he's growing up. Hence the title - it is the realization that I have to cut the proverbial umbilical cord and send him bravely into this world.

Thak you all for visiting and your lovely comments!
