If you take out all the political quandaries my state has had, Arizona has a lot of things to be proud of. Canyon de Chelly, Grand Canyon, San Xavier, vineyards, statuesque saguaros – the Wild West is alive and breathing.

I do love my home state, and, inspired by this post from Design Mom and a little help from Jordan Ferney, I was able to make my own affordable State Love art.

All I needed was: water color paper, an outline of the state, beautiful piece of our state song, .99 cent watercolors and bam! A little goes a long way.
