Supplies: 8×10 frame, scrapbook paper, printer, dry erase marker.

Directions:
1. Choose a frame! We used a simple one from the Dollar Store.
2. Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to 8.5×11 so it fits in the printer.
3. Create a Word Document or a Google Document and type out “Days Until Halloween” at the bottom.
4. Print onto scrapbook paper and cut down to fit into the frame.
5. Add to frame and start writing with the dry erase marker!

This frame is perfect for all holidays. Just swap out the Halloween page for Thanksgiving once the big day is over! There is always something to celebrate, so the possibilities are endless.

Father’s Day Hand Print Collage

Happy Father’s Day!

I wanted to share what we made for our very special Dad!
This family hand print collage is all over Pinterest, but I thought I’d put my own spin on it and include a paw print with our hand prints because Cooper Dog is definitely part of our family too.

I traced everyone’s hands (and took pictures of the baby’s and the dog’s as they were uncooperative, but still love their dad!) and scanned them onto my computer. Then I used Adobe Illustrator to create our very own Family Hand Print Collage. I used colors in the blue family because it will go great with our very nautical-inspired bedroom (navy and white) however, this would also work using a variety of bright colors too!  If you don’t have access to Illustrator, you could also trace the hands using your favorite scrap book paper.

This is a great gift idea for any holiday!

Happy Father’s Day to all of those wonderful dads out there. We hope you enjoy your day!
