Lone Pine Designs: Thanks!

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.

Thanks!

Today's card was made for a couple of reasons. I needed some thank you cards for people at my husbands work and so I used the Operation Write Home sketch challenge this week to give me inspiration!

I needed a couple of feminine cards and five masculine cards and here's what I created...I used the stripey paper as my inspiration for the masculine card on a navy coloured base.

I decided to go with a classic black and white colour combination for the women...

Supplies:-

Stamp - Lone Pine Designs

PTI white cardstock

Copics - YR23, YG17, R46, B93, B39, 1oo

SU markers

SU coloured cardstock

Ribbon

Foam Dots

SU Scallop punches
