From Been There |
It incorporates both travel and vacation. I wanted to document where we (as a family) have gone together in the USA. I have started with trips my husband and I have taken and added trips that have included our boys. I really love how it turned out. I have been wanting to do something like this for a while. I even started cutting a map out by hand using a template...uh...yeah...got 4 states done. Then I got a Silhouette! One of the first images I bought with my newly acquired download card was the puzzle map.
Supplies used:
