Iran plans to be a future hub for regional business and trade, and this is why it will manage in this first year of no sanctions with recent elections showing major gains among moderates.
Even outside of oil & gas, Iran is going to see the strongest growth and investment, but obviously the Oil and Gas sections will enjoy the most interest from international investors and companies.Added by Richard Neswold over 2 years ago. Updated over 2 years ago.

The Makefile should be cleaned up so it doesn't have commented out stuff from the example which Charlie copied.

Welcome to my new site! You are able to find me now by typing in http://www.uniquelytina.com yeahye~! No more blogpost.com stuff!!
Feel free to take a look around. You can find/follow me on facebook, instagram and twitter. All of the links to the social media is on the side bar on the right hand side of the screen. You’ll also notice that there is a Cookies, Cakes and Sweets tab. You will be able to click on it and it will take you to all the posts I’ve done that have something to do with cookie decorating, cakes and sweets 🙂 Pretty cool eh?
It has been awhile since I have posted. Let me tell you why. As if summer wasn’t already busy enough as it is, I ended up injuring myself at work at the end of July. How you ask………. Dodgeball.
I am back to work (on light duties) and being shuffled around getting some paperwork done for everyone. Not as exciting as playing tag or dodgeball with all the girls from summer camp, but its better than sitting at home and watching Netflix. I am currently obsessed with the T.V series of Chuck and Drop Dead Diva.
Summer time is always a busy month for me. It’s the time when lifeguards and recreation leaders make most of their money, working long hours and multiple jobs. This summer I have had lots of time to create at my craft desk because… lets face it, it’s not like I can do a ton of work, or do anything active at the moment.
Here are some of the cards that I have created over the past month. I found an old video that I have to edit, but that will be up soon, so stay tuned!
This first card is inspired by the galaxy backgrounds that Dawn and Krsitina Werner did on their blog/youtube channels, make sure you take a moment to watch the video if you haven’t done so yet. They are both amazing at watercolouring and have totally gotten me hooked! I recently purchased a set of Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi from Mama Elephant and I have fallen in love with them. I’ve never had such amazing watercolours before! If you are looking for more information on them, Jennifer McGuire does a video on them HERE and HERE. For the letters I used Lawn Fawn Milo’s ABC’s, and TA-DA.
For my second card, it was inspired by the Online Card Class, Stretch your Stamps 2! Can you guess what technique I did here?…. You guess it, More water colouring! I started with some light shades of distress ink, and watered them down to coat the whole embossed image. After it dried, I took some darker colours, added some perfect pearls and water and then start to paint in the details on the background stamp. This stamp is from Hero Arts. Its one of my favorite!
Now that was a long post! Thanks for dropping in!
It’s been awhile since I have taken the time to blog. It seems that I have been super busy this past month that there has been no time to blog. During my days off from work I just want to spend time with my family or relax.
Here is what I have been up too since my last blog post. I was part of the events team that put together the City of Coquitlam’s Canada Day Celebration. This year was our biggest yet. We had over 30,000 people come at the end of the night to just watch the fireworks. Who know’s how many people we had throughout the day! I was in charge of making sure that the Cultural Village, Community/ Artisan Village and Arts Village were taken care of. It was one of the hottest day’s yet and it was wonderful.
Some of the activities at the event.
After the event was over I went straight into summer camps. I am teaching Girl Power 9 – 12 summer camps at the Pinetree community center. It has been so much fun crafting with these young beauties! So I have been crafting, just not much card making.
I’ve also been doing a lot of ‘fancy’ cookies lately that I have been asked to start a new blog just on cookies. So keep your eyes peeled for the ‘cookie blog’. Do you have any suggestions what I should call it?
thanks for stopping by, and I promise to be back soon with more cards and paper-crafty goodness!!
Today I’m entering my card into TWO challenges.
The first challenge I am entering into is the Winnie and Walter Playdate No.2. You can read more information about the challenge on the blog HERE.
I’m also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. You can read more about the challenge HERE.
Today I wanted to use embossing paste on my card with the Winnie and Walter Cut flies. I tried to make a stencil and use that with the embossing paste, buy my acetate was too thick for my Silhouette. I’ll figure out something else….
Today I have a video for you, using Winnie and Walter stamp set again! If you haven’t already check out their blog HERE to find out more information about their playdate challenge! Its been tons of fun playing along! Here is our inspiration picture that we are to use for our creations!
I recently visited Columbus, Ohio to attend the first #Simonsayscreate event. It was my first big stamping and scrapping event, and it was beyond my expectations. I had such a great time and met so many wonderful people. I can’t wait to go back next year!
While I was at the event I got to meet Shay, one of the owners of Winnie and Walter. The best part was, she sat across from me for the entire event!! I had such a great time getting to know her!
She is so nice and a down to earth person! She is also a super crafter and is differently NOT afraid of colour! GO SHAY GO! We had fun getting inky/messy together.
Today’s Card I used three of Winnie and Walter stamp sets. The Big, The Bold and the Happy, Big Bang Confetti and The Write Stuff: Picture Perfect. All three stamp sets are wonderful to play with separately or together!
Please let me a comment of what you thought of my video! I love feedback and am always looking at ways to improve my videos!
I learned this technique from the online card class Watercolor for Card Makers. By far the best online card class yet. Well… they are all amazing! But I’m really, really REALLY enjoying this one!
I used a really light ink to stamp out my images and then using my distress ink markers I slowly started to paint in image in, adding a little bit of shading here and there. I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Friendship Grows.
The background is created with a Hero Arts background stamp. I put three different colors of distress inks on the background and then heavily sprayed it with water. I laid my watercolor paper on top of it, and ta-da the most amazing background EVER!
The sentiments is from a WPlus9 stamp set and heat embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder. LOVE!
I am on a roll today and wanted to show you all the cards I have been making. I have been busy!
Make sure you take a moment to check them out!
This is my final watercolor stamping card I created using the Art Impression rubber stamps. They are just so much fun to play with. I will say, it did take me a little time to get used to stamping with such small images. It also took me great restraint to not use a tons of water, for this technique you use very little water. Just to every so slightly soften the edges.
I stamped the background with a Hero Arts background stamps, and heat embossed it using the Liquid Platinum embossing powder from Ranger. I used this for another card and fell in LOVE! Watch out, because everything from here on out will have this embossing powder on it!
I’m taking an online card class called Watercolor for Card Makers. Its wonderful class full on inspiration, talent and great techniques! Make sure to check them out!
Here is another card I created using Art Impression rubber stamps!
I wanted to keep the rest of the card really simple, so I found some nice pink rose pattern paper in my paper stash! Hope you like it!
Today I wanted to show you the card I made for my mommy and my mother-in-law. I’ve been taking the Online Card Classes: Watercolor for card makers and it is
