Lone Pine Designs: Floral Friday

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.

Floral Friday

I'm having so much fun with my Floral Design class and when I completed my mug arrangement I had to make a little card to match in these pretty Spring colours! It really looks nothing like Spring here yet....my yard is still completely covered in snow...but having fresh flowers in my house has certainly lifted my spirits this Winter!

Supplies:-

Stamps - Nice & Easy Noyes by SU

PTI white cardstock

SU markers

SU coloured cardstock

SU DSP

Nestabilities

Foam dots

CM corner rounder

Paper roses
