Days Spent Together

Happy Monday, friends! I’m over here wishing it was Friday so I could recover from my weekend. It was a busy with one with a 10-hour vendor fair on Saturday. We had beautiful springlike temps running right up into the latter part of the week last week, but then in true Texas fashion, it went straight to summer flambé with temps in the 90s and humidity about the same on Saturday for the event! Needless to say, the crowd was a bit thinner than we had hoped.

So I’m skidding into this week without a single clue what direction we’re headed. All I know is I have a bunch of new goodies that I haven’t gotten to play with yet because I’ve been in vendor mode. So today we’re going to start with a fun piece of home decor I made for my booth using the new Silly Old Bear suite.

This cute framed piece is 6×6-inches in size. I typically buy my frames on Amazon in a bundle. We get started by cutting down the Pooh & friends sheet from the Silly Old Bear paper pack to serve as the backdrop for our framed piece. The sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set is stamped on Very Vanilla in Early Espresso and then diecut with the coordinating frame die. The mat for the sentiment is cut from a piece of Gathering Together patterned paper. A piece of gold & white ribbon is wrapped around the background panel and tied in a knot to the side of the sentiment panel which is adhered over the ribbon with dimensionals. We finish things off with some gold adhesive hearts.

I really love how versatile the Silly Old Bear suite is. It makes adorable cards, gifts, and home decor. And I’ve really only scratched the surface on what it can truly do. I’ll try to get my act together between now and tomorrow evening and see if we can get a design theme going for this week. If you have a suggestion, feel free to send it my way!
