Lone Pine Designs: I'm Here For You

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.

I'm Here For You

When I saw the colour challenge this week over at Play Date Cafe I thought I would give it a miss as the colours just didn't speak to me. Then I thought that was silly...isn't it supposed to be a challenge?

I've been wanting to make a card using my Cricut and the Storybook cartridge for ages and I saw this as the perfect opportunity to dig it out. I very rarely use my Cricut for card making...I mainly use it for scrapbooking and I really haven't been doing too much of that lately! I chose the lovely sentiment from Unity's KOTM April 2010 and paper pierced around the card to match the sentiment.

Supplies:-

Stamp - Unity's KOTM April 2010

SU coloured cardstock

SU ink

Foam dots

Cricut - Storybook

OOOOOOOWWWWWWW, Christy! This card is WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing this exquisite reminder that our CRICUTS need to come out and play "card craft" once in a while {I ALWAYS over-look the possibility, but I won't scrapbook without the lil' bug!}... This is exceptional use of the PDCC colors - and I am DELIGHTED you shared this WONDERFUL card! Yee Haw!

Lovely card, I really like the way you've done the opposite colours, so effective. Sorry I didn't get chance to pop round a comment on last week's entries. Thanks for playing along with us at the PDCC!
