BOB 2007

WOW! finally i can share one of my secrets.

I was so honoured to have been picked as a BOB 2007 for the altered category. I cant tell you how difficult it has been to keep it quiet all these weeks phew!

I had some fantastic prizes from l'il davies, basic grey, karen foster and sizzix. I took some
photo's of all my goodies but i'm sorry the piccies didn't turn out that great.

Just as an example there were 280 sheets of 12x12 paper from basic grey alone! how
very very lucky am i :)

I feel so proud and very lucky and there's lots of big smiley faces this end at the minute :)

UKS Cyber Crop

Monday, Oct 8, 2007

Life has been quite exciting this week. I've finished off my dt layouts for www.sarahscardsltd.com
for October (took me way longer than i thought blush!)

I also made a little purchase of a new embroidery sewing machine - in a word it's bloody awesome! i can convert photos to needlework patterns, download patterns and create my own embelishments -
how cool is that :)

The birthday cybercrop at UKS is now well under way and i was really honoured to be asked to
do a class. I chose the subject of felt and i'm so SO relieved that the class has gone down really well.


Over at Wiccaweys (www.wiccaweys.com) so many exciting things have happened.
They have got the money for the van which is just so exciting, they have had a few very special
visitors and i would like to thank Bex - thanks hun :)

That said, they are always trying to raise funds for this and that and so i've designed a christmas
stocking for them which is on sale for ??8.00 including the postage. We can substitute the collie
design for 100's of different designs so if anyone is interested please email me at carolmillerdesigns@googlemail.com



Think thats it for now - im off to cut out stockings!

My Pencillines Submission

Yah! just checked it was okay to upload my pencillines entry and it's all okay dokey! so here it is.

I was SO happy with how it turned out. Can even just about bare the piccies of me :)

As for life in general - it's all tickedy boo, nothing exciting but then again nothing bad!

Slacker!

I admit it - i have been a slack blogger. Things here are real hectic at the minute, work is really busy and i just haven't had the time :(

I haven't been THAT bad though! i've done my 2 layouts for my DT and i've done my layout my entry for pencilline (not sure that i can show it or not?, if anyone knows let me know LOL )

I did do this little album "thing" though (dont know what to call it really). I made it for Mel so she plan all her camping hols :)

I promise to be better in the future.

Oh, just one more thing for now. Louise stayed with us last night and Patchey decided to cuddle up with her and i couldn't resist this piccie (excuse the quilt cover! not my choice LOL )

The new DT May kit

Here are my 2 new layouts for the new May kit on www.sarahscardsltd.com

One of the photos is godawful! ggrrrr!!!!

I loved this kit, it was probably one of my most favourite so far from Piggy Tales "Goldilocks and the three bears"

Transparency Album

wow, its been a busy weekend. I've had my hair chopped "again"!, it was too long so i've gone a bit "victoria beckham" ish!

The Big challenge weekend over at CBC is going great guns and is a resounding success. Thanks Sue for ALL your hard work - you totally rock!

One of the challenges was to create an album. We are SUPPOSED to be completely dlo's at certain points during the weekend but im one of these people that when i start, i cant stop until its finished otherwise it really REALLY irritates me. I am not known for being quick so it's taken me most of the weekend to get it finished. I'm really pleased with the results although i cant get the piccies quite right. Matty has pointed out that i've missed "patchey" out so i need to just add another page and then i'll figure out the best way to bind it.

Ollibob

When lise showed me this picture or Ollie i knew that it HAD to be scrapped. Isnt he just the most scrummy little munchkin that you've ever seen. Lise, you are one lucky scrummy mummy you know :D

A quickie from me....

This is the first lo that i've done for a while that was actually needed for any particular reason. I just love the piccie and had a bit of inspiration last night.

It's peeing down here at the minute and it's freezing cold so the pooch is out of luck for a walk until it stops.

Right then...off to do another layout of little olliebob :D

The 2nd pet blog challenge

The 2nd challenge for the new pet blog "A true friend a priceless treasure" is up whoo hoo. This challenge was about personality. There are some fabulous layouts.

It was really strange to see how many of us did layouts on six x 12's [sorry, six key still isnt working LOL] - completely unplanned but fabby.

Team Challenge

Had a brilliant weekend with mel and the gang. Absolutely knackered though now and i've got a stinky cold. Oh well, it was worth it.

We got set a challenge on my team at uks to scrap a layout using pictures of everyone in the team. It took me ages to think of anything to do [i'm not great with more than 1 picture].

Rubbish piccies though - i really can't them to look right at all ggrrr!!

This weeks update....

Nothing to show picture wise this week - i have been a complete slacker!

Had a bit of a pants week this week really. A couple of friends are in real need of hugs and kisses and i dont know what to say or do to make things better for them. I just seem to make a bit of a pigs ear about it.

Lots of stuff about London 7/7 this week - the whole thing makes me feel sick to my stomach. I wish they would just leave it alone now. Why is it that just when you start to put things in perspective, it just drags it all up again :(

Another situation i tried to deal with just went "tits up" quite frankly. Oh well, i tried!

Mel and crewe are coming down tomorrow and i can't bloody wait. On sunday we are packing the boys off to golf and Sandie is coming over for "girlie chat"

My department at work is being featured in celebrations for "learning at work" so i've had to have my mug shot taken today. I think i look like a crock of shit ugh!


I did do one fairly exciting thing this week - can't tell you what it is though yet because i may not even make it through the first round (how embarassing would that be LOL )

Think thats it from me for today. Should have some crafty piccies early next week

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.
