Planes, Trains and Automobiles challenge at Art Impressions!

Hello Ai fans!

Have you seen the new Ai Rides??

These are just the cutest!

There are 3 new sets and I've used the 5456 – Spooky Wagon Set

My card goes along with the new challenge on the blog.

I also used the new 5462 – Web Dies Set.  These spider webs are SO much fun!
Green is my favorite color so that's how I chose to color the truck.  Have you ever seen Last Man Standing with Tim Allen?  He has a vintage green truck that was my inspiration.  I would love to own a truck like that someday.

Halloween is a big deal in our house so I was in love with this set and all of the other new Halloween 2021 sets!  Check them out here...  There's a new slimline set,  the web dies, a Matchbook and a new Window!  Something for everyone!

Along came a spider...

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing another beaded spider. 

This one was made for my friend at work.

She was feeling a little stressed so I thought this might cheer her up.

I used a stick from my yard, a little fishing line and a small suction cup to hang him.

When she stepped out of her classroom I snuck it in and hung it up.  Little bit of trivia...When I typed this "snuck" was highlighted as misspelled and spellcheck suggested changing it to snack.  I Googled the word and this is what I found... 

Is snuck a word in English?

Snuck as the past tense form of the verb 'sneak' is considered to be a real word chiefly used in North American English. ... The past tense and past participle most commonly used for this verb is sneaked, as in: The thief sneaked in through the backdoor.

Do you use snuck or sneaked?  The deadline sneaked up on me...it just sounds weird.  I wonder if it's a regional thing or I'm just weird? Now I've said the word snuck in my head so many times that it sounds weird too! lol!

I made her a card to go along with the spider and I wrote a little poem for her.

Hello, I'm your spider.

I'm here to spin a web.

Hang me on your window and 

I'll snare those bad thoughts trying

to get in your head.

I chose teal and red for her spider because I know she likes that color combo.

A spider and his web...

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a "dream catcher" that I made for my daughter.

She's away at college and had been having some bad dreams. She asked if I thought she should get a dream catcher. I told her to do whatever she needed to help herself through this time.

I had recently seen a very cool sun-catcher on Pinterest as well as a story about a spider on a Christmas tree.

I decided to combine the two ideas...along with being kind of a dream catcher. 

I used some thin wire, fishing line and an assortment of beads to create a spider.

I hung him from some fishing line attached to a stick which was hooked to a clear suction cup with some fishing line.

As I lay in bed one night worried about my daughter, words started streaming through my head. I knew what I wanted to say to her but needed it to have real meaning for her.

By morning I had come up with this...

"I may not be a dream catcher but I do spin a web.

I'll snare those bad dreams that are running through your head."

I wrapped it and gave it to her.

I don't know if she's just being kind and not filling me in or if it really worked but she hasn't texted me about a bad dream since I gave this to her.

More Hands...More Candy! Happy Halloween!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing such a fun Halloween image from Art Impressions.

This fun gal is called MORE CANDY and can be found at Hobby Lobby.

You can also find a very similar image over at Art Impressions called BE SCARY SET so take your pick!

I'm a grown up who still enjoys dressing up so I really love this image!

On the inside I used a verse from another wonderful new set called 4784 – Old Bat Set.
