Carlos Meira was born in Rio de Janeiro and studied at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, where he attended the Arts Course. He has been working with paper since the 1990′s and has since organised several exhibitions, illustrated seven books and worked on Brazilian and international advertising campaigns.
I think you’ll agree that Carlos is an incredibly talented paper artist.
How I do love looking at wedding invitations! It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of my favourites.
This round-up has a real international feel with designers hailing from far flung places around the globe like Vietnam, India, Romania and even Indonesia. It’s nice to know that the language of love is celebrated so beautifully all over this big, beautiful planet.

We are in the depths of winter down here. While we may not have snow, we do have some very chilly mornings. I think we should celebrate winter… of course I’m saying that from the comfort of my heated office, wearing three layers and a pair of Ugg’s.
I think this gorgeous circular prints from Moon Garden Art celebrate art. What do you think?
These prints from Oh My Deer caught my eye today. I’m a sucker for a beautiful, hand lettered poster. If you’ve seen pictures of my office on Instagram (@krissyb) you’ll know what I’m talking about. Nothing looks better than a beautiful, flowing script proclaiming some catchy wisdom about getting up, dusting yourself and giving things another go (check out my Words That Inspire board to see what I am talking about).
I think I have *just* enough space on my wall for these three.
I’ve got some very pretty notebooks to share with you on this very wintery Monday afternoon. They come all the way from Portugal and were created by Raquel and João from Arminho. Very pretty, don’t you think?
I’m totally digging this indigo vibe from Mid Century Child. I’ve been noticing this beautiful deep blue colour in all sorts of places. I like it because it reminds me of the post dusk sky as it slips further into the night.

I was so lucky to receive a few gorgeous cards in the mail that were designed and created by Cindy LaColla the talented lady behind Cynla. I absolutely adore her Starry & Cloudy collection which is full of dreamy illustrations.
Head to Cindy’s website for more of her cosmic creations and follow her on Facebook.
Monday’s need a hit of colour, don’t you think? You can’t get more colourful than these sweet prints from Lou Paper. As someone who is on a desperate hunt for a vintage typewriter all I can say is perhaps a typewriter print will tide me over!
I am a bona fide animal lover. I love them all; cats, dogs, lizards, birds. It doesn’t matter what they are, I love them. I’ve been lucky enough to have shared my life with some wonderful pets – a neighbour’s cat that we adopted and named Pickle O’Brien, a Rottweiler that my brother named after his then favourite band – Jovi, my beautiful dog Benny who passed away three years ago (he was 10) and our cat Jasper who also passed at the ripe old age of 14. We have two cats now, Lai and Ruby, and even though it hurts like hell when you lose them, I know that the time I spend loving them will far outweigh any sadness I may feel later.
We love our pets with all of our heart. Want a way to commemorate your darling pet? Why not commission a pet portrait!
