Happy Halloween party table (with free printables!)We’re so excited about Halloween! Every year we look forward to celebrating here on the blog with you. Today we’ve teamed up with Canon USA to create three fun projects to get you in the mood for the spookiest time of the year. Enjoy!

First up, we created a simple party table with bottles of “poison” and cupcakes with cute hand drawn bat designs. You can download and print these at home to make your own simple party table!

Halloween Memories mini book idea! Each year add a photo from the season!!I thought it would be special to start a book of Halloween memories that we can add to each year. I can’t imagine how much cuter it will become as our family grows in the years to come! So I printed out some photos on the MG7120 with the same semi-gloss photo paper as above and cut them out, leaving a little white border.

I love this little book already, because I know that this year I’ll be more intentional about getting photos of special moments. Love having this little reminder!

Hand colored vintage halloween photoLast but not least, I made a fun framed art piece from an old family photo.

Hand colored vintage halloween photo I love this little piece so much I might keep it up year round and not just for Halloween. It would be super cute with modern Halloween photos as well! You can use any photo to give it that cute vintage feel.

What projects are first on your list? xo. Elsie
