Lone Pine Designs: May Your Season Sparkle

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.

May Your Season Sparkle

Here is this week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger... All that Glitters!

Such a pretty colour and diamonds...I knew this challenge would be fun! I found the perfect sentiment to go with this card in Unity's KOTM November 2010..."May your season sparkle with holiday bliss". The cardstock behind the sentiment and bow has a shimmer to it...it doesn't show up in the photograph very well.
