A Video Gift For Us

Our Mother's Day card collection was a hit! I love how they turned out and hoped all the moms would feel the love we put into these cards. However, I never expected to receive so much of the love I sent out to circle back and hug me!
I love communicating on Twitter (my Twitter name is ksunlight). One of my Twitter friends is the Gospel Recording Artist Vickie Winans.  I met her last year online and shared my cards with her.  She loved them and sent out the most incredible tweets. Since then, she has been an amazing cheerleader for me and K. Simone Designs.

For Mother’s Day I wanted to make something special for Vickie. I thought about creating one of my special mini album cards.  I had some of Prima’s beautiful patterned paper and some other special embellishments. That is just what I needed to get started. After adding some purple glitter paper, bling, delicate trim and flowers, it was a masterpiece!

I packaged the album in this beautiful floral box.

Love that Prima patterned paper. This lavender heart shaped slider was just perfect.
Ron and I were so excited to send it to her and couldn’t wait to hear her response.  Well, she tweeted the following:

 Vickie's Video

Can you believe it? This was an incredible gesture of gratitude and love. You should of seen Ron and I as we watched this. I cried and we laughed, smiled, and rejoiced.  What a gift she gave us! I will never forget it! WOW! :)

She really expressed the spirit of my work. I want these cards to uplift and encourage others. I want the receivers to feel so hugged and cherished.  This makes me so happy to know my efforts are bringing such joy and love to others.  I see what I do as a gift from God. So it is extra exciting to see Him work through my hands to bless others. Amazing!!!

Stop by Vickie’s website for more information on her CDs, DVDs and shows. Vickie's Website  Also follow her on Twitter for some fun and inspirational tweets.

Thanks again Vickie! You are the best!
Along with her music, this is one of comedy DVDs I bought. So talented and funny!

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 ...
