You're Wonderful....

Morning... I've finally managed to chill out last night after an amazing weekend with the Lili Of The Valley team and family around yesterday.

I decided in my wisdom to sign up to do Race For Life last night... It's been 7 years since I did any serious running but I felt like I needed to have something to aim for would help me get back to reasonable fitness levels after about 5 months away from the gym etc... Plus it's for a good cause!

My card today is a really quick and I used the fabulous "Wonderful" die from Clearly Whimsy's April release.  I just love this font and it cuts beautifully!!

Card Recipe:
DSP: Stampin Up
Sentiment Die: Whimsy Stamps Wonderful Word Die
Sentiment: Clearly Besotted
Candy Dots from Stampin Up

I'm not sure when this week I'll have time to do any card making... very busy week ahead but hopefully I'll see you soon....

Have a great Monday!

For my card today I used the males word from the set to create a fathers day card.  I simply stamped each word in different colours of shadow inks.  It's finished off with a star charm, some twine and a little stitching!

Hope you have a great Wednesday...
