What day is it....

.... anyway?!!!   I am hopelessly disorganised this week - the house is a tip, mountains of laundry everywhere (thank goodness the weather has been better than forecast, at least I'm getting stuff dried outside!), camping gear waiting to be put away, we're going back to school next week and, whilst I have bought the schoolbooks, they aren't covered yet and I still haven't got shoes for my daughter.  Hellllllllpp!

I was happily convinced that yesterday was only Tuesday until about 9 o'clock, when my daughter said something that made me realise with a sinking heart that it was Wednesday night and I hadn't even started my PaperPlay DT entry.  So I galloped off to the computer to check out my image from this week's sponsor, Wink Wink Ink, and to my utter utter joy, discovered that I had been sent both a b/w and ready-coloured version of my image.  Guess which one I used?!!!  Here's my card:

Our challenge this week is called "Sketch and Stash". Sandie produced a lovely sketch to use, and the added option is to use new stash.  I couldn't do the added bit, as I haven't gotten any new stash in ages, sniff sniff (although things are looking up, I'm in the process of deciding what to order for my Christmas cards, hint - BG!!!)

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges: Totally Gorjuss ("Star"), Stampin for the Weekend ("Anything Goes" - bless their poor DT!), and Papertake Weekly ("3-2-1" - 3 buttons, 2 papers, 1 image).

For once I didn't ink any edges (no time), although I had to stitch, it would have looked naked otherwise!!Here's a close-up of the cute image I used - super colouring, eh? ;-)!!!!

Thanks for looking!

P.S. Just marking this week as the week my son learned to swim!!  He has taken two intensive swimming class sessions this summer and has made amazing progress.  In the first week, at the beginning of the summer, he went from using a board to kick swimming across front and back with hands by his side.  This week, he has learned to use his arms too.  Hooray!!
