Lone Pine Designs: Thoughts Of 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.

Thoughts Of You

Rose, over at Pink Lemonade is hosting this week's Tangled Up In Creativity Blog Group Challenge. She has challenged us to make a Very Vintage card/project.

I used a new stamp from the Ippity 2010 Summer Collection called Thoughts From the Past and the sentiment is from the Ippity set Regal Greetings. I added some velvet ribbon, lace, button and stitching and distressed the edges to try and get a vintage feel.

Supplies:-
Stamps - Thoughts From The Past and Regal Greetings by Ippity
Gina K luxury cardstock
DP by Basic Grey
SU ink
Color Box chalk
Lace
