Lone Pine Designs: Love 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.

Love you!

Things have been crazy busy here over the last couple of months and tomorrow is the last day of school for my kids so perhaps things will quieten down over the summer??? I haven't had as much time to make cards and I've been missing participating in as many challenges as I would like but today's card is for June's Tangled Up in Creativity challenge hosted by Lynn over at A Left-Brained Stamper. Luckily for me her only request is that we incorporate torn paper somewhere in our design. I kept it fairly simple, paper pieced the word 'love' and had fun adding a little doodling to my card with my white gel pen.

Supplies:- Big on Spring by SU, SU coloured cardstock, Scrap DP, Versamark ink, White embossing powder and white gel pen.
