K. Simone Designs Turns 10!!! April 20, 2011, my husband Ron and I launched our greeting card business. Since we started, we have sold over 300 cards and donated over 80 cards to charitable events.  After years of selling our cards, we have also added my art to our collection. This is an exciting newer venture that we are thrilled about, too.  K. Simone Designs Art Shop HERE Ron and I created this fun YouTube video to share some of our favorite cards, art and memorable stories from over the years. It was a joy reflecting on all the exciting moments and precious people who helped us. Video Link HERE In the video, I told about Gospel Music Artist Vickie Winans and how she encouraged us so much. Well, here is the blog post I wrote about the special mini album card I made for her in 2012. The thank you video she made has been lost but the sentiment of the moment is still special.  Her Story HERE Now for a look at more of my favorite cards and art from over these past 10 years...

I have been attending lots of online classes this year. Michaels hosted two with papercrafter Paige Evans . She featured her new paper collection and this fun Explosion Box. I loved how she created her box and wanted to try it. So in this new YouTube video, I shared how I decorated mine with Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Cottage Fields" collection and other supplies. You can get this pre-made box from Michaels , added your paper and embellishments and that's it! A beautiful gift! Take a look at how mine turned out. Such a fun project! Video Link HERE! Here are some views of the inside. I thought I would give it as a gift but now I want to keep it. LOL! You can make this box as dressy as you want and even add a gift on the inside. I hope you all enjoyed seeing this cute little box. Maybe you are inspired to try it some time this Spring and Summer. Be inspired!
