Lone Pine Designs: Something that is built...

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.

Something that is built...

The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week is to use an image in your card/project of something that is "built" using a set of plans ... a house, church, school, automobiles, even a bird house...anything that would be built according to a set of plans.

I used the house and sentiment from the Ippity set Devoted and the scallop borders from the set Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I paper pieced the house and then the scalloped borders to match. Have a great day!

Supplies:-

Stamps - Devoted and Sweet Thoughts of Spring by Ippity

PTI white cardstock

Brilliance ink

DCWV cardstock

Brads
