Lone Pine Designs: God Bless You

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.

God Bless You

I was asked t0 make a card for a boy's first communion and so I used stamps from the Stampin' Up set Crosses of Hope and in the very centre of the cross is a SU rhinestone coloured with a Copic marker to match.

Supplies:- Crosses of Hope by SU, PTI white cardstock, SU markers, Color Bok DP, Color Box chalk, Ribbon, SU rhinestone and Copic marker.
