New Blog Welcome



WELCOME TO INSPIRED ME 411! 
LET THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY BEGIN!!!!


My name is Kelly Roberts of K. Simone Designs (more about me here) and I am excited to present my NEW blog, Inspired Me 411.  Earlier this year, I started working on this site and it feels so good to finally be able to present it to you. Check out the facts below.

BLOG FACTS

WHAT: Inspired Me 411 is a free directory of arts and crafts resources. This blog is a personal collection of information I have come across and/or used in my creative journey. It is organized with lists in the following categories: General Crafts, Papercrafts, Art & Art Journaling, Fiber Arts, Mind & Body, and Organizations & Events. More websites will be added over time. Also, there will be blog posts featuring interesting articles, tools and people.

 WHO:This site is for new and experienced makers who would like to find more resources for their crafts.

 WHEN: Starting TODAY!

 WHERE: Right here!

 WHY: In 2020, I started this new blog to provide information and inspiration for those looking for arts and crafts resources. I remember when I first got started in 2006. I was looking for a craft to try while I was dealing with grief and depression. Once, I decided to make greeting cards, I didn't find many resources. Then, I came across a great papercrafting website (formally Two Peas in a Bucket). This one resource made a big difference in my development. I learned more about my passion, met new friends, personally grew and just had a fun time. After seeing how great information helped grow my creativity, I wanted to create a directory to help others like I was helped.

So this year, I decided to collect most of the websites, classes and events that I've experienced and share them with you here at Inspired Me 411.

Come on in y'all, explore, and look around. I hope you find something that inspires you!
Subscribe so you can stay up to date with everything.
Blessing!

First YouTube Anniversary

While the pandemic was devastating there were some good moments that happened in 2020. For years, I had dreamed of creating YouTube crafting tutorials and last year in the mist of the stressful times, I got started. My channel is called K. Simone Designs and I would love for you to visit and subscribe if you haven't. Join the inspiration party!  June of 2020, I posted my first tutorial called, "Mini Album Card." Did you see it? I was so excited to share my favorite mini album card with the world. I had been making them for years and this video got a great reception. Video Link HERE Since then, I have continued to learn and grow in my videos. I am so proud of my progress and determination to stick with it in spite of the highs and lows. I hope you all have enjoyed the variety of content I have produced. My goal was to inspire you and based on the comments, I think I met that objective. Yay! :) Let's look at some of my YouTube stats as of today. Subscribers: 217 Paper

My First Diary and 3 Journaling Styles

Welcome! Today's post is about my experience with journaling and three of my favorite styles.  This post was written May 21, 2020. Journaling has been a part of my life since my pre-teen years. Like most girls, I kept a diary and hid it in a secret place. I think I got my first one as a gift and wrote about daily and special events. I remember there was this cute boy I met. I was too shy to tell anyone I liked him so I wrote about it in my diary. It was a safe place to share these new and wonderful feelings. I gotta find that journal and check it out. (Off to go find it!) Look, I found my precious little diary! Although it smells dusty and the paper has yellowed, my young words and thoughts are so sweet! Here is what I wrote May 21st. I was on a school trip to a camp called Rawhide when I was in the 6th grade, I think. "Today at Rawride and my horses name was Chinadoll. Elizabeth was so mean to sha-jauna and them. And she was flirting." LOL! This is so fu
