52 Christmas Crackers 2014 - Week 44

Well, I was going to share my card for this week's 52 Cards prompt jar challenge last night, but I think I got sucked into watching something on telly and before I knew it it was bed time.

But never mind - so featuring pink, die-cuts, and patterned paper I give you my Christmas cracker for this week:

Paper: Crate Paper, American Crafts
Dies: Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant
Stamps: Lawn Fawn
Ephemera: Pink Paislee
Enamel dots: MME
Other: 3D foam, Promarkers, sewing machine

I finally managed to get my new little penguin friend out of his packaging and onto a card. :) He is very cute, and I will definitely be using him again, but next time perhaps on a tag? I'm feeling a bit out of my groove on the creative front at the moment as things aren't turning out quite like I envisage them in my head - bummer...

But I had a lovely surprise today when Elle's Studio shared one of my October Hey Little Magpie cards on their Instagram feed. Sweeeet!

In other news, our current weather trend can be summed up in the following Instagram photos... we have gone from tropical cocktails complete with cactus accessories:

...and fresh coconut for elevenses...

...to 2 degrees in the morning and having to start the day with the holy trinity of hot chocolate + syrup of your choice + a big mug:

Yep.... winter is coming!

Also today was the day for me to try out the next of the colours from these lovely Mavala nail varnish sets I bought in TK Maxx last week. I looooooooove Mavala - their colours are awesome and they come in just the right size of bottle for fashion nails, but best of all they have real staying power - especially compared to Nails Inc which always peels off in one layer for me - without fail!

So in a bit of a dilemma after trying the Candy Pink plus Pink diamond glitter last week I looked to the oracle that is Facebook for what to try next. Facebook replied with Mexico first of all, plus a few recommendations for Black Cherry. I am now sporting Mexico which is a gorgeous shade of purple and promise to give Black Cherry a go for Halloween! Bwah-ha-haaa...
