Lone Pine Designs: Celebrate Today

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.

Celebrate Today

I made this card for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge using the trigger photo below.

I thought the colour palette was very masculine so I decided to make a birthday card for my son who turns 14 in a couple of weeks. I paper pieced the background and attached the number 1 with 1/16" foam dots and the number 4 with 1/8" foam dots.

Supplies:

Stamps - SU Starring You

Cricut - Plantin Schoolbook

SU coloured cardstock

PTI white cardstock

Bazzil textured cardstock

CM shimmer paper

Brilliance ink

Foam dots
