Come Celebrate With Us- K. Simone Designs' 10th Birthday

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.

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.

My first blog post here on Inspired Me was about my cards!

2013, These cards were donated to Essence Magazine's "Black Women in Hollywood" award luncheon.

I made a batch of this card for Actress Tori Spellings' former shop, Inventori.

Oh, I love her.

We could not have lasted 10 years without the support of many others. Thank God for all these special people, So grateful!

Also, here are all of our online platforms. We hope you follow and subscribe to keep up with us. If you want to see more of my cards and art, check out the other pages I have here on Inspired Me.

Thanks for celebrating with us today and we hope you were inspired by our video and the stories we shared. Be inspired!

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!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out. All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats. I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too. Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
