I was inspired by seeing this darling project on Facebook, and couldn't wait to try it myself. Considering we are a military family, my husband and I have moved many times in throughout our marriage, so there are lots of places we've called home!
I started with a wood frame I picked up at the local thrift shop for 50 cents, and grabbed my trusty can of spray paint.
While the paint was drying, I was able to get my hands on an old 2002 road atlas and grabbed my heart shaped thin die. I rough cut the six locations I wanted to highlight on my finished art, then kept the die in place with a little washi tape as I ran it through the Big Shot.
For my background, I could help but use Brown Bag kraft... it's my go-to for many projects. I spaced out my heart locations and secured them down while giving a little lift using the Tombow foam tabs.
The project cost me less than a buck, so I'm not worried that there's no glass over the map hearts. I like to change out the art on my desk every so often, so this will be my focus piece for a little while. Something like this would make a fantastic anniversary gift for someone special, and that's when I would splurge on a deep frame so that it can be a keepsake!
