For Dad

Kia Ora.

It's been a beaut day here today, I was asked to go up the mast of another yacht by a Russian/German Kiwi lols. His radio antenna was blown off the top of his mast the other day in the strong winds we've been having here, he saw my Kiwi flag and came over to say hello.  Then he noticed how oober small I am and asked if I minded going up to have a look. He's at least twice as heavy as me and single handed at the moment, so feeling sorry for him, I said yes. Anything to help another Kiwi in a strange land.

Anyhoo long story short I got up to within reaching distance of the dangling antenna and then bam the winch broke and I went up no further. So I was lowered back down again and now he'll have to pay to get the winch repaired and to get someone else to go up the mast because I won't push my luck a second time. One slip and you fall on to the deck in a heap and then get bounced over the guard rail and into the water breaking various things on the way.

Enough rambling from me and on to today's challenge.

I'd like to enter the following card in the Totally Gorjuss Challenge 188 For Dad

Get Well Soon

Kia Ora,

The internet reception is very poor here at the marina so much so that I often have to give up what I'm doing out of sheer frustration. Blog hops can take up to 2 hours at times especially when you go to post a comment it takes forever to load that part and then you have to type confirmation that you're not a robot and then sometimes it takes even longer for the post awaiting moderation bit to appear so you don't know that your post has posted lols, oh well moan over.

On to the challenge.

I'd like todays card to go into the LLF challenge Get Well Soon. I adore the little teddy bear stamp up in the air from LOTV. With today's copic coloring I've given him a green tinge to indicate that maybe he's feeling a little unwell.. Here's the card...


Here's what I used...
Stamp - LOTV Up in the Air, 
Sentiment - MFT, Pure Innocence
Card Stock - Bazzill
DP - BoBunny Garden Girl
Dies - MFT, Fishtail Flags
Ink, Ranger, Broken China
Copics - Y21, YG91, YG95, YG97

Thanks for looking

and as always

Keep Well x

Any hoo, because it's Father's Day in the UK I made a card for my dear old Dad x 



I based this card on a card sketch from the deconstructed sketch website. Sketch #104

Good Luck

Kia Ora from all aboard the good ship Koru

It's a wet and windy day today, luckily I finished coloring in my cute LOTV stamp yesterday but I lost the natural light for the photograph but I managed to find enough natural light today... So I'd like to enter today's card into Lili's Little Fairies: Good Luck challenge......



I don't have any stamps saying good luck so I improvised and wrote good luck on one of the balloons. I did my usual copic coloring and paper piecing treatment which is one I like a lot ;)

So here's what I used..

Copics - E00, E51, E21, E35, Y21, YR28, YR24, B00, B01, B02, B21,
