fabulous friday finds [and a couple of layouts].

Alrighty. It's Friday, and you know what that means! It's time for fabulous friday finds.
Below is the inspiration I've gathered this week. It's not that much, but it may just be enough to kick-start your mojo. Maybe get ya skipping to your scrap room... maybe. ;)

So here we go...

how neat is that huge balloon? the stripes stretching around are so colorful and summery. perfect to inspire summer layouts. and the fact that everything is backed against a bright blue sky making it pop... that's gorgeous!

can you say... inspi-uh-ring? that polka dot tape up in the corner reminds me of washi tape. the circular container below it is so neat (almost like a grid). the lettered pictures in the frame look like little flashcards. and the bright pops of color in the left column are so awesome!

honestly, i don't know what exactly i find so inspiring about this. it just is. i guess you could say that it's the bright colors and unusual design. i don't know. i just love it.

i love this color combo. green and purple. and the white just ties it all together. so clean, simple, and fresh. love it!

the perfect template for a stitching pattern. and look at the tag at the bottom... it's meant for scrapbooking!

this reminds me of embossed paper. with the raised part being inked. how neat is that?
on the site, bluepoolroad, it says it's meant to be an inked calendar. now, I know I couldn't have thought of that! whoever did... they're a creative genius!

okay. that's it for fabulous friday finds. but, my computer finally cooperated so now I have some layouts to share! they've been accumulating, so bear with me. there could end up being a tremendous amount of photos.
