First paid job

Karin comes to me one day in the office asking me to help her scrap a gift. She hands me a photo of her and 2 other friends and says she wants me to make something nice and sweet for her friend(that is why I use pink color). Karin is the girl in the middle and she told me her friend (on her right) is leaving to further her studies in oversea. She wants something that will remind her and their friendship even if they are going to be apart for few years. I am super duper excited because this is my first assignment. Can you believe it? I am actually paid to scrap! Muahahaha!!

Seriously, I am motivated to make it nice and make her proud. I understand the feeling of living abroad and moving into a whole new place where nothing is familiar, it is heartwarming to have something that she feels familiar with accompanying her everyday. I hope this gift will reminds her of the memories they made together in their friendship. When I design this frame I put in a lot of small lil details (lotsa eyelets, brads, holes that makes the paper look like laces, glitters), I want her to feel excited every time she looks at it as though after few years later, she will look at it and still finds something she hasn't realized before.

I am excited when it is done. I love it a lot, Karin loves it a lot , her friends love it too....One of my colleague loves my work too and actually ask me to make one for her anniversary gift!
