Found this artist, Yuko Yamamoto, via nebo peklo blog.
She makes these gorgeous paper plant cuttings. I can’t imagine how precise and intricate you must be to to do this.
Yuko also creates these beautiful graphic art pieces which I believe are also paper cutouts:
Funny how something so simple like paper and scissors can turn into something gorgeous.

Big cable knits, wide scarves, rustic boots… yes please. I love fall and you can sense it’s right around the corner. I especially love what you can wear — just a sweater and a scarf and you’re good to go. When it becomes fall and winter, I always want to dress like a European. That’s why I’m loving these pieces from Toast, a UK based company.
I love the heavy tights with the brown boots. I think I’ll have to try that this season. And I love the long dress in the last one!

How can you not smile over these ridiculously cute characters drawn by The Small Object?
Mr. Postman is fancy:
And you’ve got Dust Bunny, Dirt Ball, and Lint all hanging out:
The best part? They’re STAMPS! That’s right — that toothy grin can be anywhere.
I love ridiculous and silly characters like that as I do my dogs.
(I want him.)

My sister is getting married next summer. (yay!) I’m going to design all of the wedding-y paper goods so this past weekend we went to the site of the ceremony and reception for some inspiration.
It’s a farm ‘n’ barn setting with fun rustic/charm features. We’re thinking yellows, oranges, peachy, robin’s egg blue, and a pop of fuchsia.
These colors work beautifully and incorporate some of the same colors we like (via stylemepretty)
This gorgeous inspiration board (via snippet & ink) has most of the colors we’re thinking — even a barn!

I think all graphic designers look to their design forefathers for guidance and inspiration. Back to the beginning where Swiss graphic design shook up the world.
The boldness of its simplicity.
And the typography … oh the typography is so delicious it makes me drool.

As you might have noticed on the header of my blog, I heart animals. Especially when incorporated into designs like this squirrel vases set from prettyrandomobjects:
Or these prints from yumiyumi‘s etsy shop ( and her blog) — I love bears (see header) and this little print, “I can count to eight”, makes me a happy camper.
And this little sweet fox print is for my sister who “loves” foxes:
Wouldn’t those prints be a lovely addition to a child’s room?

And… good morning world!
( Per Ola Wiberg )
After realizing how much inspiration and entertainment I benefit from other creative and design blogs, I’m finally venturing to create one of my own. Now I can share what I find inspiring and creative and also showcase amazing creatives. I’m also testing out my blogging development skills as I’ve made this blog from scratch using WordPress!
Hope you enjoy!
