Lone Pine Designs: Remembering

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.

Remembering

I made today's card using this week's Play Date Cafe colour challenge for my Mum in Australia who volunteers as a Pastoral Care worker and Chaplain at a residential aged care facility. She often send cards out to families a year after their loved ones have passed away and asked me if I had something with 'remembering' on it.

Supplies:-

Ribbon

SU marker

Your card is beautiful Christy. The colour combination works so well.
It touched a place in my heart this morning as I woke up thinking about my mum - this will be our 3rd Christmas without her and it doesn't get any easier!
