My 10th Blog Anniversary

It's my anniversary!!!! On August 23, 2010, I started "Inspired Me" and what an adventure it has been. I remember being a little nervous and excited at starting this new digital journey. In these ten years, I have created more than I ever thought. I started out making greeting cards for family and friends. Since then, I have learned and made over 20 different crafts. Yes, really! LOL!

Here is my first post. If you want to read it, CLICK HERE.

Here are two special YouTube videos. This is my first YouTube virtual art show. I learned to draw from one of my husband's comic book art guides. From there, I jumped into art journaling and the paintings. I just love art!

Next, is my first video tutorial showing how to make a mini album card. I was so excited to start this type of video this year. Link Here

Out of everything I have accomplished personally and professionally, inspiring others is my most favorite thing. I love that my humble creations have touched so many people and brought a smile to their faces. That makes it all worth it!

I am so proud of all I have shared on this blog and I hope to continue spreading inspiration. Thanks for the support and have a great day!

Vintage Love is Here

I love making greeting cards for Valentine's Day. When my husband and I were dating, he started a tradition of giving each other cards for special occasions. I hadn't been a big card person then but after he started giving me so many great cards, I loved it. I loved giving as much as receiving them. Valentine's Day was one of the best times to get a wonderful card from him. So you can say, he is one of the reasons I got into card making. I loved that feeling of receiving a card from someone I loved and loved me. So with that in mind, we are happy to introduce our "Vintage Love" Collection . I enjoyed creating a daytime and night time versions of these cards. I love the variety that came from my limited supplies. If you need a special card for your loved ones, they will be available in our Etsy store ( www.kellyron.etsy.com ) for $5.00 each plus shipping and handling . Also, if you would like us to type your expressions on the inside of the card or a organ...

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!

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...
