Mapping out My Adventures

Remember last week when I asked for your help HERE? 

 (a BIG 'Thank You' to those of you who commented or emailed me with suggestions :))

Well I have a solution!!

Tonight I was looking at places for my Europe trip and it dawned on me...I should make a map and pin-point all the places I've been! 

So I did just that and here is how it turned out: 

Here is the process...

I found a Europe map online and printed it off. I then drew it on to canvas material with a pencil.

 (I had a picture of this, but it was too light and you couldn't really see anything)

I then attached the material to an old cork board I had with some hot glue. 

Next, I traced over the map with a Sharpie and found some stickers in my box of crafts to spell out the words {Key}

I didn't have any little alphabet stickers I liked so I wrote out the rest of the key with a purple Sharpie. 

I then used some fake diamond embellishments I had left over from a previous project to mark the different places on the map. 

It's a little hard to see in the pictures but the places I've been are in white and the places I will be traveling to are in green.

I love it and it will look perfect on my wall! Now I just need to make one like it for my travels throughout the states!
