Mom's Gift Album

It has been a long time since I have been here and it feels good to be back. Sometimes, my creative mojo has to recharge and it is good to have it back. I finished a  chipboard mini album this week for my Mom's birthday.

The album came from Michael's, the flowers were from my Anna Griffin card kit and the bling came from (well, um...) well they came from some where. LOL! I just loved the colors and the way it all turned out.

She loved all the pictures and of course the design. That makes me happy that she was so elated!

Take a look!

Adding the tulle was a nice way to soften it up even more.



These ladies are my grandmother and great grandmother. Amazing women!

My mom on here wedding day.



I hope you enjoyed this tribute to my mom and the women who helped to shape me. Take care and have a nice day.

    Kelly, this is wonderful. What a beautiful tribute to the women who made you who you are. I love the colors and love that lace piece on the front. Did you cut that? Also love the use of the tulle. Perfect accent to the album. I'm sure your mom loved it and your MIL will love the one you are making for her. Can't wait to see it. Beautiful, artsy work, my friend.

Relaunch of Our Business

We sold and donated lots of cards and enjoyed bringing smiles to our customer's faces. In 2019, we took a long break.

Art has been a wonderful outlet and joy for me and I have loved encouraging others with these creations.  So now K. Simone Designs will focus on our Inspired Art business. Our greeting cards are on hold for now but they are still apart of our brand. Also, I will continue to create YouTube papercrafting videos and add more resources to my arts and crafts directory.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!
