Mazy Frame : When Life Unfolded

FrameCard_1
(Little creative corner on office desk...)

Last week, I sat myself on the chair for couple of hours.
Just because I want to make a small gift for my children.

I want to tell them ...

When life unfolded

When unfolded

No matter how sweet or sour it was

or how harsh it was

shall not refrain it

be brave to yourself

" Don’t let anyone choose your treasures for you.

Keep the things that light up your life.

Let go of the things that don’t.

Only you know which is which. " Lisa Baldwin

Peek at Finished Fabric Cover

front
Sewed the Teesha-inspired fabric patches together.

Leave a small room in center and sewed with a piece of mesh.
The purple heart was made off polymer clay.

The small Tiki-God's badge was bought last week in KL Design Week.

Sigh ... one of three badges in a packet was spoil ...just wonder the seller didn't notice about it when they do the packaging.




center
The black strip is the spine of the cover.




back
The back of the journal cover look liked.
Leave a hole in between.
