Lone Pine Designs: You are in my thoughts...

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.

You are in my thoughts...

Today's card was made using the sketch from this week's Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps Challenge. I used one of my favourite Penny Black stamps "Angel Comfort" and coloured it with watercolours.

Don't forget that {Ippity} releases their Spring 2010 Collection tomorrow at 12am CST and that all sets will be available from me HERE.
