The Process

I downloaded a map of the US from the internet and imported it into Photoshop Elements 10. I created a new layer and using the polygonal lasso tool, I began tracing the shape of the states that I wanted to use. I filled the outline in with black using the paint bucket. Then I added new layer above, highlighted the layer icon in the layers menu of the state using the Command key while clicking on the icon (Mac) or CTRL and click on the layer icon (PC) and made a stroke, then offset it. Papers from AP Go Retro were clipped to the state shape and adjusted to show a variety of color and texture. Stained Skribbled Summer brushes were added and colored using the Artsy Stains. I added several TapedTextures and changed the blending mode to soft light and then duplicated the layers. Elements, retro glows, brush strokes, word art, journaling, stitchez were added to complete the page.
I added this to Standing O's! https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?p=476671#post476671
