UKS CC - my pre crop challange

The brief was it could be anything as long as it had the title "once upon a time" on it. I didn't really fancy doing a layout so this is what i came up with.

New Pet Blog

I am very very excited about this blog - i've been waiting for what seems weeks for it to be launched.

Anyway, the wait is over and it's finally here http://a-true-friend.blogspot.com/
Of course i HAD to do a layout of little patchey miller - and she's looking very cute even if i do say so :D

Quick update....

A few things going on this week. I received the most gorgeous little quote book from my gorgeous friend Steph - it's an album full of quotes [will take piccies to show it off].

I've got my mystery kit done for the cc and i've also done the pre-crop challenge as well [i know, how efficient am i for a change LOL] Can't show the piccies for the minute though but i'm really pleased with how they both turned out.

Purplepenguin won the blossom and button topiary tree that i did for the challenge on www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk

Oh, i nearly forgot - here's the most recent lo's that i did for the DT kit www.sarahscardsltd.com. I loved this months kit, shame there wasn't more left over :(

Blossom and Button Topiary Tree

I was given a challenge over at cbc to alter a milk carton. I have to admit that this was definately NOT one of the ones that i wanted - something easy like a pizza box or something would have been fabby. But! after mulling over a few ideas, this is what i came up with and im really pleased with how it turned out.

If anyone would like the step by step instructions and the robo template, please email me at carolmillerdesigns@googlemail.com.

Hope you like it xx

Altered Pain Killer Box

Matty went down last night to buy me some pain killers for my toe [see lovely piccies below]. Why is that i didn't see pain relief in the slightest but an opportunity for an "altering session" :D

I ripped out the pain killer and altered the box.

Made it for a friend of mind [stalk the postie :D]

Now i know i've got the bug REALLY BAD LOL

Inchie & Ouchy

Two things to report today.

Had a go at making some inchies for www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk . These little blighters are so far out of my comfort zone it's just not even funny! BUT! i said i would do them and so i sat there for ages wondering what on earth i could do.

I am not known for being un-cluttered on my lo's and altered stuff so only have 1" was an absolutely nightmare!

I managed them in the end but i dont think they are particularly inspiring! passable! but not inspiring hehe

The second part to my post is my broken toe! I'm kind of impressed with the bruising [if you have to hurt yourself then you may as well have something "juicy" to show for it] LOL

So! i thought i would share some piccies with you hehehehe

[the toes are strapped together to stop the 3rd one veering off at a peculiar angle!]

A5 - Envelope Album

This feels like a long time coming, this album just seems to have foxed me at every corner.

Anyhow, it's finished now and im really pleased with the results. It's the new project for www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk and is a bit trickier than the other two that i've done.

Just a bit of self pity before i post piccies LOL, i broke my 3rd toe in the week and i swear that i've never known anything SO painful!. I may have to post piccies of the offending toe in all its black glory hehe
