I had extra room in my journal after mounting previously posted grids. I decided to make a grid directly on the painted page of my journal. First I divided the page using Michelle Ward's excellent instructions found on the GPP Crusade post. I painted over the lines with acrylic ink.
This time I grabbed a map from my ephemera stash and punched circles featuring places in Iowa that are significant to me (where I was born, lived, schooled, art shows). After adhering the circles to the grid, I added a bit of journaling.

This was created on cardstock and I used squares left over from my first grid project. I decided to keep the grid minimal and set it up as an abstract art piece. Then I mounted the artwork in my journal.
Making grids could become addictive!

Regina - what a totally cool idea to punch out specific locations on a map! Perfect for your gird, leaving room for a descriptive line or two! Lovely layout. Thanks for sharing more work!
(not sure how I missed adding this to the link list...it's there now)
Regina, I really like the map idea - it makes me want to make more grid pages. Squares and circles are a good contrast.
