Back 2 School

I have seen so many back to school cards lately. I just had to get in on the fun. I knew I wanted to do a chalkboard. Then, this morning while watching Busytown (which I love), I got the idea to include Lowly Worm. The alphabet banner, apple and Lowly are computer generated. I used black paper and wood grained designer paper for the chalk board. I wrote the sentiment with a white gel pen.  I'll be giving this to Jack's teachers when he starts preschool next Tuesday.

With God, All Things Are Possible

I just joined another stamping community called Christian Paper Crafts. I made this card for two challenges. I think I'll be selling this at the church bookstore.

A Friend Loves At All Times

Here's my latest card. I CASEd this from Kristina Werner. She is an awesome card crafter with lots of tutorials on her blog. I just love her style. BTW, CASE is card crafter lingo for Copy And Share Everything. Enjoy and God bless.

Sweet Ladybug Picnic

This is for a card challenge.  The idea is to create a card using the layout given to you. The sentiment is from 2007 Stampin' Up! It reads "You're so sweet."

Hang In There!

Aren't owls adorable? These owls are by Inkadinkadoo. (I think). I stamped the images using ink from Memento. The big owl is stamped upside down to look like he is hanging from a branch. I handwrote the sentiment with my cool new white gel pen, which I also used to create the faux stitching around the edges. Once I actually get some people to follow my blog, I'm going to issue a challenge to create a card with at least one image stamped upside down!

 

Welcome to My Blog

Hi everyone! Welcome to my new blog. I attempted to blog a couple years ago (a few of you may remember) but I didn't follow through with it. I'm going to try this again.

This site is primarily for my favorite hobby - making cards and other paper crafts. So far, I have only posted work I've created, but my hope is to post tutorials, card challenges and other information valuable to the crafting community.

If you're wondering about the name of my blog, it's a play on words. My first name is Annette (A.) and my last name is Witherspoon (Spoon). You can figure out the rest. ☺

Enjoy!
Annette ♥

Thierry Noir Inspired Card

This card is not my typical creation. Last week, the family took a trip to the Wright Patterson National Air Force museum (which is a really cool place, btw). In the Cold War gallery, part of the Berlin wall was displayed (see pic below). The artwork intrigued me, so I researched it. The art was created by German Thierry Noir. I created this card using his work as an inspiration. I gave it to John (DH) for his birthday. :-)
