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!

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!
