"Be Brave" Scrapbook Layout

Today, I am sharing a scrapbook layout called "Be Brave." I just finished it this week and I am still on a roll since National Scrapbook Day. Yeah! 

The title was inspired by the global crisis and quarantine events we are facing. I have had this "Be Brave" sign posted in my living room for some years. I walk past it and sit under it all the time and forget it is there. But on this day, it seemed like a good time to refocus on these words and take a picture of me being BRAVE in uncertainty.

Ok, enough of that! Take a look at this page.

I used Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Garden District" paper and embellishments.

This layout was inspired by Nathalie DeSousa @tachita55 of Instagram. She has some beautiful designs.

Used green paint to add the splatters.

Quote is from Webster's Pages' free downloads. 

Distressed and used my brown ink pad on the edges.


Thanks for stopping by and leave a comment if you are scrapbooking your experiences in these #stayathome times.

    What a beautiful layout. I love the sign in the background and agree that we all need to be brave during this crazy time. Love the photo of you and the collection of butterflies. So very pretty.

Relaunch of Our Business

Kelly & Ron Roberts Today, Ron and I are announcing the relaunch of our K. Simone Designs business. For those of you that are new to our work and site, click   ABOUT US   for more information.   In short, we started our business selling my handmade greeting cards in 2011. We sold and donated lots of cards and enjoyed bringing smiles to our customer's faces. In 2019, we took a long break.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

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!
