I’m blogging tonight from Washington DC friends! The hubs and I are on a kidless trip and are having too much fun in this freezing cold city.
So on the way here, I was thinking of fun places my family has been able to visit. I created my free Instagram/photographic printable a few months ago so we could always remember stories and details about our summer, trips and every day life. Now I wanted to make a printable that shows the places we’ve been.
This free printable comes as a 12×12 inch free print. It was harder than I thought to find great map images (if you have any site recommendations, please pass them along!) so I used a random variety of images on the square printable and on the heart printable, I used Google maps satellite view by taking screen shots.
Customize them yourself with your favorite travels. Hang one on your wall and give one as a Valentine’s Day gift. I’d love to see what you create!
What a great idea. Love your maps. I find that Google image search for map public domain yields some really pretty things too. Thanks so much for sharing your files.
Thanks Mel. So glad you like them!
Sorry to pester you with another comment but I found a great website for vintage maps if you’re interested… (by limiting that Google image search to files that are new this week). They have loads of maps, here: http://www.tourvideos.com/maps-index.html (The majority are 200dp but not bad sizes and they’d print great as small bits. Great excuse for a trip to Venice or Holland or…
Those are great, thanks! And yes, I need to justify an amazing vacation now. It’s a sacrifice, but if it’s for the good of home decor, then so be it
How nice! I love it, thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for sharing the templates! I have downloaded free maps from the US Geological Service to make “family tree” maps (collages of maps featuring towns that match my relatives’ names). More info on my blog here: http://www.stitchcraftcreations.com/2011/05/04/mothers-day-idea-map-family-trees/
Those are great Holly. Thanks for sharing!
That is too funny, we just moved from DC to Alaska! Your ‘cold’ comment made me laugh as I look out at the snow falling
This is a fabulous craft idea, thanks for sharing it!!!
That’s a big move Kay! Guess I won’t complain about any cold
