SPD ~ Pin That! ~ Our Maps Picture Frame

Saw it. Pinned it. Actually Did it!

Yet again...it's Thursday! That means: Pinterest projects. Are we getting the hang of this yet? 

Thursday = craft displays!

And this week, my hubby has a nice addition to his office, thanks to Steph @BEAUtiful Mess and Katie @Keep Calm and Carry On. I love these two ladies blogs!

Anywho...back to my DIY for this week. My hubs had a "map" theme in his office. It used to be in his bachelor pad living room, but now that he has a leading lady (i.e. me - the wifey), the map theme has moved into his office. I saw this pin a loooong time ago on Pinterest and was saving it for the perfect time. 

I think this pin is Valentine's related. It's for my husband, it has hearts on it, and it's about our Love Story! Done deal. Valentine's Day DIY. Woot woot!

Here is the original pin...

Kayla's original project of maps was for places that they have lived. I thought it would be perfect for B's room to show maps of:

1. where we were born (Iowa and Colorado)
2. where we met and were married (South Carolina).

I think this especially meaningful for us because we came from 2 different states, but both ended up in SOuth Carolina, where we met, fell in love, got engaged, and were married! 

 

Isn't God good?!? He brought us together because we were supposed to be together, even though we were born in very different places! God just amazes me sometimes. And let me tell you, I am very Thankful that God brought our paths together. I could not do this life without my best friend.

So, here's what I ended up with!

Materials:

• frame: Hobby Lobby, $10.00
• heart stickers: Hobby Lobby, $1.50
• maps (I printed these at home)

How To:

1. Print the maps that you would like to use. I used a website called, State Master,  "http://maps.statemaster.com."
2. Cut out the map and place a heart sticker on your city.
3. Place the maps onto the back of the frame using double sided tape.
4. Put your frame together and enjoy!

This project was very easy and I was so excited to give it to my husband for his Map Room! Yay DIY!

Happy Thursday and Happy Pinning!
