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!

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...

Live Forward

Happy October to all! I am getting ready for the holidays already and hope to have some Christmas cards to share soon. While I am in card mode and am still enjoying creating faces and painting. Here is one of the last ones I did called, "Live Forward." Just a reminded to keeping looking ahead in life. Driving like life is supposed to be done by looking through the windshield not the rear view window. (Oh, that is a good one. LOL!) Also, I loved using strips of patterned paper in the background. Then painted over them with layers of colors and then added stamps and that face. Isn't she pretty? I am so proud I am learning to draw profiles. They have been hard to do but I am starting to get it. Take a look! Thanks for looking and hope you have a terrific day!

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!
