Lone Pine Designs: Music of My Heart

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.

Music of My Heart

Another challenge card today...I made today's card for this weeks {Ippity} challenge. The challenge was to make a card using chipboard on it. I've never used chipboard on a card before. I tend to use it on journal covers and bigger items as I think it can get a bit heavy for a card which can get expensive if you're sending them through the mail...especially to Australia! I covered a chipboard heart with patterned paper and gently sanded the edges before inking the edges with Color Box Fluid Chalk. I stamped the sheet music stamp onto silver paper that has a slight sparkle to it which matches the silver pattern on the chipboard heart. Enjoy the rest of your day!
