Lone Pine Designs: Beginnings...

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.

Beginnings...

I have loved Penny Black stamps for nearly twenty years and at one stage I was selling them for a stamp distributor for a while when I lived in Australia. One of the benefits of selling them was the discount I received and I have a large selection of Penny Black stamps that I purchased during that time. When I came across the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog I thought it would be a great opportunity to re-visit some old favourites!

This week's challenge is New Beginnings...could be new baby, new job, new home or anything! This cute little Penny Black stamp is called Flower Delivery.

Supplies:-
Stamps - Flower Delivery by Penny Black and Unity KOTM February 2009
SU coloured cardstock
Brilliance ink
SU markers
Imaginisce Garden Party DP
SU scallop border punch
Paper flowers
CM corner rounder
SU brads
Ribbon
