Lone Pine Designs: Lovin' from the oven!

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.

Lovin' from the oven!

Karen, from Simply Said With Karen is hosting this week's Tangled Up In Creativity blog group challenge. She has challenged us to create a card that depicts what it is we like about the upcoming season. Last week, I received some free digital stamps from Digi Doodle Shop for a challenge I'd entered and I chose this lovely image called Fresh Baked Pie and knew it would be perfect for this challenge. I live in the Apple capital of New Hampshire where the upcoming season is full of apple picking, pie baking contests and of course my favourite, the vibrant colours of the changing leaves...this image has it all!
