Bad Hair Day 2 and BLOG CANDY.

Thursday has come around very quickly, it will soon be the weekend where does the time go?
Some more BHD ATC's for you to look at.
This one is from Sheila...like the black heat embossing Sheila it reminds me of the Zodiac sign of the goat. thanks x



The next 2 you have seen before as I used them as the examples for this challenge.

As I still cannot find all my crafting stuff I had to do a bit of recycling on the next 3..A bit of fun...not Quite sure they have the X Factor though...lol.

What do you think to Simon's Scowl? lol

I think I have found a real bad hair day with this Character but once again I have forgotten where I found him.. sorry to the owner.



Still some other BHD ATC's to follow...keep checking.

Don't forget the free blog candy rubber stamps on the post below....you have to be in it to win it.

BLOG CANDY, BLOG CANDY, BLOG CANDY

Happy Monday and a big welcome to our new followers.

Do you see this little baby below....well let me tell you it's a clue to Novembers Challenge... the theme being KEYS.
Our guest ATC designer for November is a lovely lady from Australia I will introduce you to her on the 1st November.

Now then if you would like to be in with a chance of owning this set of rubber stamps absolutely free just pop over to Tanda Stamps HERE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS.... find the price of this set and email me the answer AND then leave a comment on this post so that I can do a random draw. Closing date is 26th Oct Midnight. (uk time) .... the winner will be announced on the 27th October.
GOOD LUCK x
Up date... the draw will close one day earlier than announced due to me having a senior moment and getting my days/dates wrong. It closed on the 25th Oct Midnight (UK). Sorry x Don't all lynch me. lol


See below these ATC clear storage holders each sheet fits in an A4 folder and holds 9/18 ATC's depending if you put them back to back.. I use them all the time for my collection and believe Tanda stamps are the cheapest you can get plus the quality is good.

Along with their 100 ATC sleeves for sending your atc's out or just keeping them clean and once again they are very good quality... I have purchased others but they tear easily...these are a good price good quality.


And as Octobers challenge is HALLOWEEN I was thrilled to be able to find this single spider's web stamp over at Tanda too.... cheap as chips lol, JUST £2-85p....can you believe it...I just bought one.

Why not pop over, you may well find just what you have been looking for... a small family firm here in the UK good prices and FAST delivery...providing the mail isn't on strike!

Ask for Andrew he is a great help and if he hasn't got it he can make it using your own artwork and once again affordable to the pocket.
Don't forget the BHD showcase started below this post with more to come soon.

BAD HAIR DAY SWAPS

Here we go with Septembers Challenge ATC's... 'Bad Hair Day'... and from all the feed back you all enjoyed it...from the ATC's I can see that you did too.
Before I start the showcase take a look at these finger nails ...a few bad hair days here from the characters of Sesame Street.

I am sorry I cannot remember where I found them but if anyone should come across the blog please let me know and I can give credit to that blog.

To begin our BHD swaps we have Karen from Scrapz
Sadly Karen's dad passed away a little while ago and she has found it difficult to get back into her crafting, many of us understand how she is feeling and so I want to say a HUGE thank you to Karen for taking on the challenge with us this month and hope that she will be back with us blogging as soon as she is able as we do miss her and her fantastic creative blog.

Hi Jenny,

You know when I opened the envelope containing your BHD ATC's
I laffffed so much at that little bird and the words and love how you captured the look by recycling a magazine you all know how I love to recycle in art and crafting.

Thanks Jenny....Jenny doesn't have a blog so you cannot go visit her. x

Hi Jeanie,

Thanks once again for joining in with our swaps it is always lovely to receive ATC's from creative bloggers from around the world, I am sure I can speak for all of us who receive ATC's that have come from afar to add to their collection.
