About Us



Welcome!

I am Kelly S. Roberts of K. Simone Designs! Ron and I are a husband and wife team from sunny California. We love being on a creative journey together. Both of us are self taught artists. Ron's passion for art started in his childhood. He has fond memories of drawing with his younger brother and having fun. Also, he is a writer, poet and loves design.

In 2006, I was struggling with grief, depression and anxiety. During the holidays, I started making Christmas greeting cards for family and friends. It was such a joy for me and my loved ones. This is when my creative exploration began and what an exciting adventure it has been.

Then on April 21, 2011, we started our card business, K. Simone Designs. I created the cards while Ron was my design editor, writer of the sentiments and all around business partner. We have created numerous cards for family, friends, a local shop and many public figures. (See some of our highlights below)

Art is also a blooming talent of mine. I am a self-taught artist that started at 45 years old. One day, I was looking through one of Ron's drawing books and started practicing. I got hooked! I was drawing then eventually painting. You can check out my virtual art shows, gallery and store information here on this blog. Click HERE

It has been so exciting to see this whole creative side of me emerge. It was hidden for years but finally made its way forward. Maybe it took going through some dark times to find MY LIGHT. Ron and I are looking forward to brighter days ahead in our life and our talents.

Thanks for stopping by our blog and enjoy all the fun and inspiration here. God Bless!

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. Since then, art has become my main interest and I have been drawing, painting and improving my skills. 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 goal with all these creative products is to inspire others with love, hope, joy and peace. Here are so...

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!
