I am getting started on my bucket list item of seeing all 50 states. I've been to some, so I thought I would put together an album with all the states and then fill in the photos as I accomplish the trips. I am looking for titles for all 50 states so I can put one on each page. I've looked on some sites but they don't have all 50 states and I want the album to look a little cohesive for the titles. Any ideas?

Echo Park's Stateside collection has paper for each state. Could you use that? The one side is the outline of the state with the state name in a white font.
BTW, what a great idea. I wish I would've taken more pictures. I just have 3 states left to visit, but probably don't have pictures of at least 10.

Echo Park just released a line, its called Stateside.  I recently purchased some for 1 state and I was really impressed by the quality. One side had journaling cards, the other side had an outline of the state. I'd be sure to purchase more than 1 paper for each state for that reason. Scrapyourtrip.com probably has what you are looking for. Several years ago, EK Success had paper punches for some states. I have an Idaho punch. It is quite small. Maybe you could find those on E-bay if that's something you want. |

Hobby Lobby had some stickers (both shapes and names, I think) of all 50 states. I've also seen packs of either colored stickers or journal card-type of things there.
Last spring Joann's had DCWV travel stuff that had US state stuff that was really cute.

State wood veneer by Studio Calico, cool embellishments for pages.

I was just going to mention the Hobby Lobby 50 states things but they may have clearanced some. Try this web site: www.travelscrappin.com/stst.html Set of 50 state papers for $40 and stickers/embellies for every state. If you don't mind spending a bit, you can get a Paper Wizard state title but they are pricey but gorgeous! www.paperwiz.net/shop/State-Maps.htm |

 Great idea! I have a similar album for national parks that I have visited. I thought you might like to see my page where I record every place we go with a little purple dot. I added 3 states today, but still haven't been to all 50. |

I do put a map with our route in each travel album. But on this page I just record destinations. |

Paper Wizard has layered die cut titles for all 50 states, but that would get expensive. Two other places to check are www.scrapbook.com and www.scrapyourtrip.com. Both carry papers and embellishments for all 50 states. |

Scrapyourtrip.com
Has lots of stuff in the US travel category.
Stampingstation.com is another site with lots of great travel stuff.
I have done something similar with an 8x8 album, one page per state. I try to chose a picture that is quite representative of the state eg the Grand Canyon for Arizona , the Space Needle for Washington. If course I have lots more photos for each state, but this small album just has a representative photo for each state.
I had bookmark style titles for each state . Forget now who made them but I bought one for each state several years ago when they were going out of business
If I was starting again Ii might try to use a Cricut or similar machine to print out each state name.
I do find people are interested in looking up their home state when they see my album!
5 more states to visit! One good road trip should be able to cover them all. Travelling the states is the fun part, do enjoy your journeys!

It's not a title, but you might be interested in this stamp that shows all 50 states. It's about 6" across. link |

Echo Park has their new line out "Are We There Yet?" Looks like while some states may be identified, there are some iconic destinations you may be able to use. |

While this site is a bit difficult to navigate, if you scroll all the way down on the left side to "Travel-Vacations" and then go down a bit past the world wide items, they do have page toppers for all 50 states along with papers and a few sticker/embellishment items. Their prices are pretty good. www.bargainpack.com/When I was making a scrapbook for my sister of all her travels, I found papers here I couldn't find anywhere else. She particularly liked the individual state map pages because if was easy for her to mark the places she visited and stayed. |

I was dreading having to order state by state! |

Do you have a diecut machine? You could make them all look the same, that way. You could also cut out the shape of the state. I know there are free fonts out there that have the state shapes. |

I used the Alaska sheet from the Echo Park Stateside collection, and it is lovely. I found all of the pieces in the cut apart sheet to be very useable. I actually think I used the entire sheet twice in the course of my album.

I ordered the package of 50 state papers.  |

If you have a Cricut, there is the 50 States cartridge.
It includes two different titles, state image with capital, flag, bird, and flower for each state.
ETA: the titles are welded, so they are easy to use.

Circling back around to this post. I bought the 50 papers that myboysnme suggested and this album cover from Creative Memories (I see they have a Canadian one, too). Now I am looking for a map of the US as my title pages, similar to what @elaynef used for her parks. I thought about one of these maps from the RV store and would add a sticker as I visit each state, but it is too big. |
