Keep Calm and Moose On

You know that time you think you're coming up with a great, original idea and then you find out someone already thought of it? This happened to me recently. I know I'm super late jumping on that whole 'Keep Calm' bandwagon but I had just been on Pinterest and found one that made me laugh out loud for once.

It got me thinking what would make me love one? I was making my bed and looked at my flannel sheets that have a moose trim on the pillows and I thought well, moose, of course. I should probably preface that with moose are my fav. I mean, how can you not like this face?

I thought it would be extremely clever to come up with 'Keep Calm and Moose On'. I decided to google it just in case. Someone else thought of it first! I was too slow! Oh, well. That didn't stop me from making my own sign!

I decided to use my Silhouette Cameo instead of just making a printable. I designed my own using a moose silhoeutte like this one and I learned about the trace tool.

I also found an old wooden frame and painted it  blue. Even after three coats, you could still see the wood grain. I decided I liked it.

I cut my image out using white card stock. To make it stand out, I put it over a blue and green floral glitter scrapbook paper. I kind of love it.

 

 I think I made it my own with the inverted moose positioning.

 

Right I'm, I'm keeping it with my winter decorations. Once winter is over, it will fit perfectly in my room!
