Map of our love story project!


 So for our 1st wedding anniversary i decided since the tradition gift is paper to make a paper project for my husband for his gift! Besides I've had a lot of extra time lately (being unemployed) so projects are a nice way to fill my time!

Supplies

5 hole picture frame (walmart around $15)
Old Maps (couple bucks from a thrift store or antique place)
Scrapbook paper ( scraps and whatnot)
4 by 6 print 
Scissors
Glue
Stencils
Tape
Notebook paper
Rubber stamps and ink pad
Patience... lots of that


 All my supplies laid out on the table (love being a bigger house more room to stretch out and do my projects!)

 So then i made a stencil for my "hearts" for my maps
 Then i cut out on the appropriate places for our special places!
Laying it all out making sure its fitting so far!
 Cut out my 4 by 6 spots to have a background on my map portions of the frame!
  Used my stencil and cut all these guys out *then realized i didn't measure and it took me forever to get it all placed out*

 

My computer hadn't been working for a while so when it randomly decided to work i kissed it!

 Then my computer decided it didn't want to print 4 by 6 prints correctly!
 lovely right?

 So then i started putting it all together!
 Close up of our important spots on the map!
 I even put little hearts with a pen around the actual city =)
 Close up of the middle all done!
Finished!
I most likely enjoyed this more than Kenny...but whatever!




Some of our 1st anniversary photos my mom took!
We had a great day remembering our wedding day, and enjoying each other! We did try our cake 1 year later...wasn't bad Kenny enjoyed it with some ice cream! I'm one lucky lady!
