I Love Me - Have You Loved Yourself Today?

I Love Me as a greeting card design!! =D
In the background is the kanji “ai”, 爱 meaning love.. n_n”

There are some of us, who took it upon ourselves to do things for others. to help others.. to make others happy.. but we forgot about ourselves! we forgot that we need to make ourselves happy too. we need to love ourselves too. if we don’t love ourselves, who’ll love us?

i dedicate this to every one of you kind souls out there!! remember to always love yourself as well!! =D

i especially thank Karin who kept reminding me that i am love-able as well. bad history and with the kind of people i’m surrounded by, i was made to believe that nobody will love me for everything that i am. am made to realise all my faults and bad points and weaknesses. made to believe am ugly and useless. having depression doesn’t help as i view myself as nothing more than a mental girl. i totally believe that it’s impossible for anyone to really love me.

But Karin showed me otherwise. she made me answer and admit my pretty gd points.. and i realised.. hey!! i can be love-able?! am still trying to accept that now.. lolz.. it’s still kinda hard to accept, having been instilled those “i sux!” mindset for years… ahahahah.. XD

Thank you, Karin!! GLOMPZ!!!

fa: i had to force Tim to carry that signage cos he wouldn’t say the words!! stupid monster..
Tim: it says I Love Me!! how can you love yourself!! you’re big, fat, ugly and you’re mental with me in your head!!
fa: awww.. i can love you too, can’t i~ XD
Tim: NOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve had problems with the way RB cards crop the artwork on my Snow Flower and I had to keep re-positioning the text so that it would look okay. If you look at my comments you’ll see the advice someone gave me about that; I hadn’t tried it yet since I haven’t had any other cropping issue since, but maybe you can try it out. This is a great card fa! Though yesterday I was really hating myself… (you’ll see why when you read your e-mail)

  • frozenfa replied

    Thank you, Mui-Ling! =D
    hmmm.. weird eh.. cos the card was designed according to the dimension they stated here which is 900×1300 px.. =( haven’t got any email from you.. can’t find any.. where did you send it to? please take care.. hugs~

  • Mui-Ling Teh

    I used the facebook e-mail. what happened yesterday was crazy~~ you’ll see; and I forgot to mention that on top of that (prior to the worst part…), my laundry somehow fell off of the laundry line so I had to wash it again __ ; and it was hectic enough getting back what fell because the laundry is hung in a lightwell, and to get it back required going through a different access and unlocking the door to the lightwell which used a really funky padlock.

    That is very original :))

  • frozenfa replied

    he wouldn’t admit it, but you should see how he often bugs me to read the comic you drew.. hehehe.. will you make that into a book? n_n”

    Fa, it’s fantastic! I love it…
    the only thing i would advise you is to dispense with the black border completely….
    it’s just that with the cards the borders are notoriously difficult to get right, and it’s a bit unreliable…can you stretch or just resize it up a little to do away with the black border?
    It does look really good with it, but always there will be a problem with it cropping it
    unevenly. It works okay with a bit of shadow on the edges or just one or two sides
    with a border, but very difficult to have an exact frame come out printed perfectly by RB
    on all sides…it’s not your fault in any way, it’s an anomoly that RB has with the card
    printing to do with the ‘bleed’....But i love, love, love , LOVE it and the Kanji is a great idea
    and looks so fabulous there in the background..
    Much love, n glompz from Karin xoxo

  • frozenfa replied

    Thank you, Karin!! i removed the border.. i so like it with the border.. i feel that it stands out pretty strongly with it.. i printed one for myself yesterday, with the border.. and liked it.. and that’s why i thought i’d upload it.. lolz.. wonder if Zazzle’s version will come out fine.. i did one with borders there.. i like it with borders!!!!
    oh dear i sound like a brat above.. lolz!! XD
    GLOMPZ!!

    I think this is sweet, very nice creation…

  • frozenfa replied

    Thank you, thank you!!
    and Welcome to RB!! Hope you’ll make lotsa friends and sales here~ =D

  • Karin Taylor

    Karin Taylorcommunity helper

    ....so sorry Fa that i advised removing the border, it still looks wonderful…..it really does :)
    I wouldn’t have said anything, it’s just that RB does have difficulty with the frames ending up uneven looking due to the bleed probbie …. that’s a good idea too, to try it on zazzle and see if it works better on theirs…. so sorry for that fa… :(
    glompz n hugs…xoxxo

  • Karin Taylor

    Karin Taylorcommunity helper

    hey fa…i just read the comment by someone over on Mui-ling’s link above, perhaps you could try doing the border again, at the sizing she suggests…maybe this way will work ok…..i haven’t tried it, but i hope it does work…. perhaps it’s worth a try ? hugs K

  • frozenfa replied

    hehe.. no worries, Karin! i agree with you too about removing the borders.. cos we have no idea if it’s just the preview being imperfect, or if the final print will truly be like that.. so might as well, just cut the risk and remove the borders eh? hehe.. i too prefer to play safe than sorry.. X) there’s always the one at Zazz if anyone wants one with border anyway.. ;D

    I originally opened this because I could only read the I “heart” ME line and thought “oh that sounds like my ex – only thinking of and loving himself”. Then I read your description and I must say I was a little spooked. You have no idea the similarities between us. I truly wish I could have made this less public, but c’est la vie. I too have issues such as you stated, I too have been so very fortunate to have found someone to bring out the blossom hiding inside me and who loves me for me, all of me, even mental me…lol.

    Thank you for giving everyone out there who forgets to love (or doesn’t know how) themselves. You’ve got more company than I think you realize.

    Blessings and Happy Solstice!
