Lone Pine Designs: Praying for 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.

Praying for you...

I have owned the background paper on this card for approximately 15 years! It's from a set of scrapbook papers I purchased when I started to scrapbook and at the time I really didn't like it...it seemed very dull for the pages of my baby boy's scrapbook. Fast forward 15 years and I really like it and it goes perfectly with the set Thoughts and Prayers by Stampin' Up. Unfortunately, I only have a small piece left but I think I will use it and not store it for another 15 years!

Supplies:- Thoughts and Prayers by SU, PTI white cardstock, Brilliance ink, SU coloured cardstock, Current DP, foam dots, ribbon and SU rhinestones.
