MORGAN: love, LOVE these city neighborhood maps by Ork Posters!

Famille Summerbelle

CARRIE: I love these cut-out maps by Famille Summerbelle. One is in the U.S., in keeping with Morgan's theme from yesterday, but I couldn't resist showing two of my other favorite cities as well.

across the USA

MORGAN: Did someone say road trip? The folks of Random Collective designed this awesome website chronicling New York based singer-songwriter Orba Squara’s journey across some of the United States to commemorate his second album. Check out Orba Squara's website to see a the rest of the amazing photos, graphics, and type treatments documenting the trip! {thanks to Grain Edit for the introduction}

MORGAN: I was trying to imagine endless flag banners hanging above the street...this week was a tough one, I really wanted to have time to actually make a fun banner from scrap paper, but that just didn't happen.

CARRIE: I love the cheerfulness of balloons and flags against the blue sky.

so cute

MORGAN: ... loving the idea of a home-made banner from all sorts of mix and match fabrics! {image found over at hostess with the mostess! }

holy yarn!

CARRIE: These are images I've had on my computer forever and I apologize, but I don't know what the source is anymore. They are all balls of yarn strung together. So cool!

type banner

MORGAN: a nice twist on the traditional flag banner....found here.

sophie cuvelier

CARRIE: all of the beautiful garlands pictured above are the work of artist, Sophie Cuvelier.

i heart flag banners

MORGAN: Carrie, I love it! I don't know what it is about flag banners right now, but they seem to just be popping up everywhere--they are such a fun way to decorate for a party, but how cool is this rug by Hable Construction? I'm pretty sure that would make every day a celebration! {found on flickr}

snippets of color

CARRIE: Love these flags from photographer, Youngna Park. I used to have them as my screen saver and I decided I missed them, so here they are again.

CARRIE: This started with a picture from my honeymoon in Hawaii. I wish I could be back there right now!

MORGAN: I knew if I attempted any actual illustration that it would turn out horrible....I'm just not feeling too artistic tonight....so I decided to have some fun doodling and added whacked out color to our existing photobooth shot!
