Valentines Around the World

I am so sentimental about our travels as a family that I keep every map as a souvenir. I found them in a box at the back of my closet and tried to think of a creative way to use them. Since Valentine's Day is coming, I thought maybe I should use them to make Valentines from Around the World...(well sort of...at least that's what I'll call it). It was quick, easy, and not very costly.


Supplies: 
A piece of scrapbook paper (aqua worked best for my design, but any bright color would work)
Scissors
A piece of construction paper
Old Maps
Glue Stick 
Picture Frame- ( I used 8x10)

Step 1: Cut your scrapbook paper to fit the inside of your picture frame. 

Step 2: Cut a heart out of construction paper to use as a pattern. 

Step 3: Trace the heart pattern onto your maps, and cut each heart out.

Step 4: Glue the hearts to the scrapbook page and place it inside of the frame. 

Voila! You now have a fun Valentine for your significant other and a great memento of all your adventures.
