After I created my first card for the Catered Crop recipe swap, “Map It”, I had another idea for a card and I just had to make it.
I stumbled across a link that allows you to print maps of each state. After playing around with the setting on my printer, I printed a map of Wisconsin, my home state, at my printer’s 4x6 setting on white card stock.
I added a heart punched out of scrap paper and added it to the part of where I live. Cute and easy – my favorite kind of card.
Don’t forget to stop by the Catered Crop to link up your “Map It”creation.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

This is just the most cutest and most clever card I've seen in a while.
What a great card using a printed map. I had a hard time finding "map" thing from my stash. If I knew the like you gave earlier, I'd love to use it on my project. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, May

Love this card! My home state, too! Beautiful!
Love your design! Great for a long distance friend or loved one!
I know this is an older post, but I just came across it and I love it! The reason being is that I'm from Wisconsin as well. I couldn't tell if you were marking Milwaukee as your hometown or not, but that's where I'm from. Let me know if you are from the same area!
Peace & Luv,
Jeannie
