I love old maps and use them in so many different types of craft projects including junk journaling. I found these ones in an antique book and they are too nice not to share.  Perfect for a travel-themed junk journal or scrapbook. You could also print them for colouring sheets. Right click to save each photo. Click here for more FREE printables War Maps These maps are from old newspapers. Some of them didn't scan very well as they are fading but I think they would make good backgrounds. I've printed them and have used them as greeting card backgrounds for friends who are military buffs. Photos These maps are from 35mm slide photos

 Did you own any of these? I had the Sunshine Family Craft Store when I was a kid. My Mom made me tiny dipped candles and fabric bolts for the store ( probably my earliest introduction to making minis)

Happy Spring!!! (fingers crossed) I'm always afraid that if I put the winter gear into storage it will trigger a snowstorm. :) Here are 6 sites I have come across this month looking for spring / Easter inspiration.
