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
