Keep Calm and Carry On - knock offs

I saw a "Keep Calm and Gobble On" poster (which is free to print if you want one - here) and definately wanted one . . . but I'm out of colored ink in my printer, so I opted for the next best solution - cut it out on my Cricut and glue it to some brown paper!
I still like the original better at Craftily Ever After, but this works as an alternative.
 
I also did another version on a huge canvas (20"x30") for my sister-in-law to put in her classroom (she's a teacher and their mascot is the sailors)  She found a picture of one she liked and then I spray painted the canvas and cut the boat and letters with my Cricut.  I don't know where she found the original idea for this one, but I think it was on Etsy ... 

I love these "keep calm and ..." posters.  They are everywhere in blogland and on etsy.  The possibilities are endless with different versions.

  2. I love these too! Maybe I ought to ask for a cricut for Christmas, since everything seems sooo much easier and with more possibilities if you have one.
    Nice of you to do something for your sister too!
