Each week I can spend hours on Pinterest, re-pinning loads of great ideas and products on to my ever increasing number of boards. The latest great craft tip that I saw this week, I was especially excited by – as it involved incorporating my love of travel with my love of maps.

Having only just come back recently from my latest summer trip, I was looking for a way of displaying my travel snaps in a fun and refreshing way. When I stumbled upon the idea of using a map of the place you have visited, as the background mount for a holiday photo. It seemed like such a simple, yet perfect solution to recording my memories of my vacation – a photo map.

I decided to test out what this would look like with one of my photos, and it was so easy and quick that I am definitely going to do this with several more travel snaps. In fact, I may also use this photo map as a way of making a fun and cheap travel gift for Christmas and Birthdays for family and friends.

Check out the images below and see for yourself how simple it is to make your own photo map!
