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!

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 1st YouTube Tutorial Video

Today, I am proud to present my very first YouTube tutorial video. I have been wanting to do this for some years and the moment is finally here. Yay!!! In this video, I will show you how I make my 6x6 sized mini album cards. I started making them ages ago and they make wonderful keepsake gifts. Click  My Mini Albums  page to see more of my work. After making the video, I decided to add a piece of vellum paper with stamped sentiments. It gives the card more pretty layers. I like it better this way. Take a look! Here is the other card I showed in the video. This was the first sample I made as I was practicing for this video. So pretty! I hope you are inspired to try and make a card like this. It was fun to create and I will be making more videos like this one, too. So subscribe to my channel so you can stay up to date with my work. My YouTube Channel Here Thanks for visiting!
