Permission to Rest- NEW Art Video & Mental Health Awareness

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! In celebration of this cause, I dedicated my NEW "Story Time With..." YouTube video to this month's awareness. "Field of Rest" is the art featured in this story and it tells my self care journey of rest and renewal. #permissiontorest

In 2016, I painted "Field of Rest." It is one of my favorite art pieces and was so fun to paint. I love seeing the process pictures of how the art came about. Check it out!

Mental health awareness is so personal for me. I have lived with various degrees of depression and anxiety over the years. Many resources have helped me and I am on a mission to help others with my experiences and art.

One of the lessons I am still learning is to REST! This is the message of this art video and my advice to others. Taking time to recharge ones batteries is so critical to wellness. How do you rest? What works for you?

I hope you will watch this video and share it with your loved ones. The pandemic has taken a toll on all of us in different ways and I will encourage you to be aware of your mental health needs. (Mental Health Resources HERE)

Also, this art is NOW available in my art shop. I would love for you to have this art in your home to remind you to rest and take care of yourself.

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...

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!
