Trying to catch up on ....

.... some sleep this week.  We were so tired after the weekend away - all those late nights and early mornings took their toll!!  And it was a very busy week in school too, which didn't help.  We had an unannounced visit from an inspector on Thursday - cue behind the scenes panic and mayhem - but all was well!

Went to a 40th birthday party today, luckily the birthday girl has small children, so the party wasn't a late-nighter - we came home at 9pm.  Here's the card I made for her:

I used the lovely sketch from this month's CLP Challenge and I'm also entering this into Colour Create ("Pink, Brown, Cream, White"), Cute Card Thursday ("Anything Goes") and Stampin for the Weekend ("Tickled Pink").

I used this sweet stamp from Lili of the Valley, first time to ink it up.  The gorgeous die-cut doily was done with a friend's die at a crop a while back - I cut several in the one colour - why didn't I think to do some other colour too?!!  Here's a close-up of the image:
