When we left off I was trying to decide how to create a unique map to go with our invitations and our out of town bags. I was inspired by the work of Laura Hooper, but only had a computer and maps from Yahoo! and Google to work with. I decided the first map would be a big map of the area, and I knew I needed to point out a few key areas like our college (Appalachian State University), tourist sites like The Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain and The Mast General Store.

Once we had the big map made, I wanted to make a more detailed map. Of course I would never want our guests to get lost! So, I made a more detailed map, below.
(Click the map for a closer look!)These are not final, so any changes you think I should make, I will! It was really fun making these. It took me a solid 10 hours of designing and perfecting. Was it worth it?
Oh my gosh! It’d take me 100 hours, because I wouldn’t know where to begin! But yes, they look great, and I’m sure your guests will really appreciate them.
Beautiful! Just beautiful! I certainly hope you put a little “made by me” stamp on the back so people realize all the hard work you put into them 
Worth it!! They are beautiful! What programs did you use? I want to do the same thing!!!
I spent hours doing mine and they are sure worth it. Your maps came out really good. I like the Albermale Swash font.
They look awesome! So worth it! How did you do it? (roughly…)
Wait for it….I used Microsoft Word. It is the only program I have! I have just learned to maneuver it. Let me know if I can help anyone with yours!
OMG these are totally awesome! I am with Lattelove– how much do you charge! 
it looks good! one suggestion I might do is take the bubble off from around the directions… it says where they are too, I think the bubble is a little to cluttering… your guests will be able to see where the directions are to… just a thought!
Great job! I spend about the same amount of time and think it will add great detail to your event.
WOW! I can’t believe you used word! You should post a tutorial sometime! I want to know how you did it!
@ljcadv: Great suggestion! I am going to do another rev
@yookie: @LatteLove: haha! no charge…you can do it too. message me if you want directions
Those look amazing. I am completely jealous, I may have to email you for a how to as well!
Those are great! Please do a tutorial! Pretty please!
I love that you used Word. I am so gonna try this, but would love it if you had a tutorial.
How amazing! your guests will love them, I know I would be so excited to get this in the mail with the invite.
