Sorry Sally

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I join in a monthly progressive challenge over at Outlaws Challenges. You get a free image at the start of every month & you get a month to use it....if you do you get a new image at the start of the next month...& so on....well this months image was perfect for me. I have been looking for an image, that I could make into a card for my darling hubby Nige. He has put up with my horrible mood swings over the last 6 months. Suffering from depression quite frequently, I just can't seem to drag my arse out of this flunk. So hat off to Nige for putting up with me, just not wanting to do anything but sleep. He has managed to drag me out for walks & keep me alive...basically he is my hero!! 

So this card is for him xx
