This week we are sending some Teapotter cheer to Shawn who is battling back from brain surgery and is still to undergo chemo. Among his many talents, Shawn is a black-belt in Karate. Our hostess, Lisa (aka ShoeGirl) challenged us to use a black stripe in our design to honor that.
I found this cute ninja at Mo's and loved the title because it could be HIYA! as in a karate kick shout or Hi Ya for just saying hello. In my youth, I remember being in awe of the Karate masters on TV who demonstrated their skills breaking boards and bricks with their hands and feet. So, that's where my design comes from. The sentiment is computer generated using Pizza Dude and Porky's fonts. I wanted to say "Let's kick some butt" but since I don't know Shawn and his sensibilities, I deferred to civility. I hope he thinks this alternative is smile-worthy. It is a pretty lame joke.
I hope Shawn will be cheered and supported by the outpouring of cards from this great group. And, I hope each of you find something smile-worthy today too. TFL

Debbie, this is such a great card for Shawn. That little ninja guy is so cute. Love the brick background and your skill of doing that sentiment is so cool! So creative!
