Our family is from sunny Arizona but our little sis married a boy from Baton Rouge. Just for fun, we made the newlyweds sweet decor for their cozy apartment:
[Arizona + Louisiana]
Want to make your own? You probably have everything on hand..
Supplies Needed:
- computer/printer
- cardstock
- 8×10 frame
- double-sided tape
- heart stickers [or red marker]
- vinyl “+” [or black marker]
Directions:
1. Google image desired state, print onto regular paper.
2. Cut out state.
3. Trace (backward) onto cardstock, cut out.
4. Put hearts on the city you live in then using double-sided tape, center your states onto colored cardstock, [ours is geographically correct, fyi!] Don’t forget your “+” sign.
Frame & you’re done!
Same concept for solo state. Enjoy (:

I have seen similar things around Blogland and have been contemplating making something for both of my kids to put in their rooms since they were each born in different states. My husband and I are both from different states as well — would never have thought to put them together with a "+" sign — just love it! Adding this to my To Do List!
Kimberly Moore
Love it. I'm from Washington and my Husband is from Florida…so I LOVE the idea of adding the two states from the coasts together!

Love love love this! I made my own version of this for my friends engagement present, except I put in a sticker of 2 love birds with a heart above them that looked identical to the hearts in the respective states – it looked as though the birds had flown to find one another! Adorable!!! Thanks so much
