Sketch Saturday card

Here is my card for this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge, a nice easy sketch to follow, I love working from a sketch but sometimes if there are lots of layers or elelements I find them a little daunting. This one was fab, the 2 patterned papers are a free download from Crafts Beautiful all you need to do is register! I did no crafting at all over the weekend and spent hardly any time on my pc, can you believe that!? Lillie my eldest is being a real pain at night-time, calling out to either me or Matthew and if we don't go she eventually comes into our room making a load of fuss. She wants a dvd on (they have a dvd on to go to sleep with) this can be 2am 3am and can go on for a couple of hours, we get 1 good night out of about 3. I was in and out with Hollie for 2 1/2 hours during last night as she has a old and coughed non stop until she exhaused herself and went back to sleep.
Anyhow after a lay in on Sautrday we went shopping, then after lunch and all afternoon was spent clearing my craft space, OMG what a job!! I had a unit next to my desk with numerous carrier bags and envelopes of stash stuffed beside it, then a stack of storage boxes with stuff on top, and also had to clear the book case as that was being moved! Matthew was in the room making up my 3 new storage units to go back in the space. I am still sorting stugg out, and swear I still don't have enough room for it Lol!!!
My sister invited herself, her boys and mum and dad round for tea last night to, the cheek of it!! It was nice to have them all over and we made a bit of space in the freezer but cooking up some of the party food we had bought and not used over christmas. Still got loads so need another couple of get togethers to clear it all up! My sister left before Dancing on Ice came on mum and dad left after it finished, wow Ray is fabulous, I loved him in X-Factor but he is a whizz on the ice, I can wait to see him skate each week!
