State your case!

I started playing with some ideas to play with state identifications whether for a scrapbooking page or to show where your from or where you've been! Doing an internet search for "US states svg" gave me a state map that I could take into Inkscape and ungroup and pull the state I wanted which was Nebraska. There are also county maps that give you the option to pull out your county. I found mine by searching for "Nebraska box butte county svg"

I'll include this file with the nebraska state file for those that like this script -

Another idea is to use parts of maps to customize your state silhouette or highlight where your from or an area you traveled to in that sate.
