My Top 5 Moments of 2020- K. Simone Designs

Happy New Year!!! 2020 was a challenging year for all of us. But when I look back I was surprised at all the good that happened to me and my business, K. Simone Designs. Today, I will be sharing my top five favorite moments of 2020. Let's go!


1. New Blog/Website-

In March 2020, I launched a new blog called, "Inspired Me 411." It is an arts and crafts resource directory I created to house all the creative information I have found and/or used over the years. When the pandemic hit and I was so glad I had this resource available. My goal was to encourage and inspire others to craft their way through the stress of 2020. Crafting has definitely helped me get through these uncertain days.

2. New YouTube Channel Videos-
In June 2020,  I was so thrilled to create my first ever craft videos for YouTube. For years, I dreamed of making papercrafting and art tutorial videos and it felt so great to finally accomplish my goal. I published 38 videos, gained 117 subscribers and had a ball making new friends. I learned so much about YouTube, video editing and marketing that will help me create even better videos in 2021.

Also, I  launched my first YouTube video art series called, "Story Time With..." in September. This is an inspirational series where I present my art, tell how I made it and share my life lessons. I told stories of self care, love, patience, celebration, bravery and more. Stop by and see these videos if you haven't.

3. My Art Shop- 
For several years, I had a shop set up at Society 6 online art website but wasn't doing anything with it. But last fall, a cousin suggested I sell my art. I was inspired and decided to refresh my shop. I paired the art from my YouTube art series' stories with the shop. I wanted people to be able to buy the art they saw on my channel. I got my first sales during the holidays and I am very happy about that.

4. Featured Scrapbook Pages-
Last year, I really got into scrapbooking. It was a pleasure creating so many layouts and sharing them with my creative community. One day a friend told me I was featured in the gallery on Scrapbook dot com and boy was I surprised and elated.  I was spotlighted 5 or 6 times. So cool!

5. "Dress Up With Me Monday" Challenge- 
In August of 2020, I was so tired of wear the same ole cozy clothes and missed my happy, dress up clothes. My closet was calling out to me. LOL! I decided every Monday, I would wear some of these forgotten clothes, accessories and/or makeup to fill me with joy.  I invited the Two Peas Refugees community to join me and on August 17, 2020 I kicked off this fun event! Lots of ladies participated and had great results.  A few of the ladies even inspired others to dress up, too. It became an exciting thing for many of us. Also in October, I started  this event on Instagram for three Mondays.

This has been great medicine for me and I am still hosting this challenge. It has been 17 weeks now and I plan on continuing for as long as I need this. Join me you are interested.

I wore this hoodie sweater last Monday and the sequins made me smile!

2020 had it good moments and I am looking forward to many more good things happening in 2021. May God bless you and your families this year! Be inspired!

Emmy's 2010

Did you watch the red carpet last night for the Emmy's? I love watching these award show red carpets more than the show itself.  I just saw the pictures online. One the sites I looked at was radaronline.com. These pictures are from there. First, I liked the navy blue one.  The dress had lots of drama and she wore it well. The purple one was interesting.  Still trying to decide if I like it. Maybe it would have been better with the layers on the bottom but not both.  I really love the color and the idea. Maybe a little too much going on. radaronline.com This next dress worn by Eva Longoria was so pretty. The black flowers on the bottom of the dress was so stunning! She looked  great, too. I wonder how the dress would look in a lighter color? Maybe the floral details would show up better. radaronline.com Out of  all the dresses I saw these were the most interesting ones. I was a little disappointed there weren't more WOW dresses. Also, there were s...

Valentine's Cards

Happy belated Valentine's Day. I hope it was a sweet one for you all. I just love making greeting cards for this holiday.  Nornally for Valentine's I make red and black cards which I love but this year I decided to add some pastel colored cards to my collection. Earlier this year, I made some cards with this beautiful paper pad from Michael's. I loved it so much, I just had to see if I could use it for Valentine's and they look great to me. Details:  Recollections Paper is from Michael's 6x6 paper pad called "Blush and Mint."  Flowers made with my Spellbinders scalloped circles.  Take a look! Do you feel the love? LOL! Cards are 5x7 in size. See the heart in the center? Love that idea!     Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

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 ...
