Lone Pine Designs: Let's Patch Things Up

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

Let's Patch Things Up

When I saw this sentiment in Unity's Kit of the Month Club last July I knew it would be perfect with my Penny Black stamp Snips-n-Scraps. I used watercolour paints to colour the stamp and I made a patchwork of scrap papers for the background using a 1 1/4" square punch and found some co-ordinating buttons. I love piecing together backgrounds using scrap paper....it's a great way to use up all those scraps.

Supplies:-
Stamps - Penny Black's Snips-n-Scraps and sentiment from Unity's KOTM club July 2009
Watercolour paints
Georgia Pacific white cardstock
Brilliance Ink
Clear embossing powder
Scrap patterned paper
