Lone Pine Designs: May your day bloom with happiness...

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 day bloom with happiness...

For my Floral Friday post I have a card and an arrangement. Firstly, a card for this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge...."Spring is Sprung" is the theme. I think Spring has sprung a leak here in NH this week as it has snowed a couple days this week already! Thankfully my craft room has felt like Spring over the last few weeks with all the Spring cards and floral arrangements I've been making.

Secondly, an arrangement I made for my floral design class...this was a novelty design....for a baby.

Supplies:-

Stamps - Tulip Jungle by Penny Black and Blooming with Happiness by SU

PTI white cardstock

Brilliance ink

SU markers

DP unknown

Paper flower

SU coloured cardstock
