Friday Favorites- And Now For Something Completely Different

Starting this week (as in today, right now) I'm going to post Friday Favorites in a new format. Since I love the look of Flickr favorites mosaics and it often takes me a looooong time to upload and format everything using individual pictures, from now on I'm going to use Picasa to create a mosaic of everything I find for the week and add a list of links at the bottom of the post. Sound cool? Cool. :)

Here's this week's very-Valentiney (yes, that is a real word...I think!) mosaic.

Starting at the top left:

• An adorable heart garland made from...get this...catalogs and junk mail on Oh So Crafty. Aaaack! Could that be any cooler?
• Some too pretty for words decorated paper straws from A Field Journal. I only have two questions...where can I get such gorgeous paper straws, and where in the world did that embossing heart-shaped punch come from? I don't think that Martha makes that one, but I must have it!
• A free Valentine's Day digital paper kit from Scrapbook Trends. They also have another free kit here.
• A free magazine from Pink Paislee. It's the first issue of their own in-house publication. You know I like my digital magazines, especially in PDF!
• Twig and Thistle posted these oh-so-lovely Valentine's treat bags, along with a free download so you can print on your own bags!
• Speaking of free printables, Paper Crave links to loads and loads of free Valentine's goodies
• Completely un-Valentine related, but still cool- check out the cute laundry hamper labels on Callaloo soup, made using leftover scrapbook paper.
• Cute candy buttons (that you can make yourself) on Bakerella. These might just have to get tucked away as a baby shower idea. :)
• Gorgeous tags from Prima (and there's a sweet mini-album on the same post)
  

Wow, that was a lot faster to put together! I think I'm going to like this new format- I hope you enjoy it, too! I think it makes the post a lot less cluttered looking.

Have a scrappy weekend!
