Father's Day gift to my DH. While I was making my friend's altered frame, DH really showed an interest in the idea behind the motivational quotes idea. So I decided to surprise him with one of his own. Since he struggles with a chronic health condition and we are currently awaiting a lung transplant, having something to look at daily to remind him of all he has is important.

Like my friend's frame, his will have four quotes, but this one will likely be his favorite. It's the line from his favorite Pearl Jam song "I am Mine". The full line is "I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The inbetween is mine. I am Mine." Basically it means that we all are born and die, but what you do in the middle, the in between is yours. It's a reminder for him to live and of course a little photo in that TH pocket watch is our son at a recent trip to the beach.

The other three quotes are:
- "The darkest night is often followed by the brightest tomorrow."
- You never know how STRONG you are until being STRONG is the only choice you have.
- " Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain."

I'll upload them when I finish them, but I wanted to get this in the Prima challenge since I used a lot of Prima here.

Used my Cricut to make all the titles, including welding the Gypsy font for the top half and Storybook font for the bottom half of this one.

DH is a big fan of leather and metal goods so there are a lot of metal elements here and that leather 'paper' I got came in handy! And I bought that 7 gypsies watch face years ago knowing I'd use it for something for DH. Glad to finally put it to good use!

Loving how this turned out and can't wait to give to him for Father's Day! TFL!
