Crafty Catz DT - For a Special Lady

Morning all, 

Here's to the end of another week! once more it's been mad and once more I have to wonder how life get's this way?! so two weekends ago I flew to Venice with my parent's to take part in Carnevale de Venezia. This has been something I've wanted to do since I was about 11 or 12 so I was delighted! the weather was cold but clear and beautiful and we had a great, albeit manic, 3 days in Venice. We landed back in the UK late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning and sadly I had to be back in work at 9am - exhausted.com! But I made it to the end of the week when I then took my eldest brother and mother to the theater to see Matthew Bourne's adaptation of Edward Scissorhands. A strange concept for a ballet I'll grant but it was amazing and I highly recommend seeing it if you ever get the chance. 

So by last Saturday I was totally wiped out and had a quite chill day at home. Well, apparently slowing down was a bad plan as the early hours of Sunday morning saw me running a fever and being violently sick - a process which carried on for the majority of Sunday. So Monday was a sick day as I spent the day catching up on sleep but Tuesday saw me back in work (I'm not a good patient) - it's amazing how much aggravation an unplanned day off can cause!

Wednesday saw me at Church before and after work, last night was my standard all night choir rehearsal and here we are again........

Exhausted yet? yep, me too!

Now that everyone's caught up it's time to focus on this weeks challenge over at Crafty Catz. This week's theme has been set by Anna and she would like you to make a card For a Special Lady. We are sponsored this week by the fab team at Bugaboo Stamps who are offering our lucky winner 7 images of their choice

My card this week features the fab image 'Bubble Your Troubles' 
  

I coloured the image with promarkers in the following colours: apricot, oatmeal, henna, spice, cinnamon, pastel blue, pearl blue, midnight blue, warm grey 1, cool grey 2, moss, gold, ruby and dusky rose. 

The papers are Basic Grey and the buttons and ribbon are from stash. 

I hope you like it and are inspired to play along with us this week at Crafty Catz. Until next time, happy crafting!
