Good Morning! I finally have a little time to focus on my CTMH business...life had gotten a little crazy the last couple of months but things are finally getting easier and my Arts & Crafts area is finally organized and I can now start doing some workshops!! Sooo I am planning to do a workshop this month...it's too late to do a Mother's Day Card workshop like I originally wanted to do but will be doing a workshop for a mix of 5 cards (including Father's Day/Masculine B-days) with envelopes all handmade by you for $20...you won't need to bring anything but maybe your own scissors! I will set a date for this soon as well as a pic of the cards that we'll make on that day! Gina's Whimsy HeArt

Yaaay! I'm a CTMH Consultant again!!
Just so excited to share that I have decided to become a Close To My Heart Consultant again!! I also decided to use this older inactive blog of mine to promote, feature and share my CTMH creations! I still have my art blog active but I don't want to mix these two for various reasons. For some reason I am having trouble posting images on here so until I figure it out I will be linking to my FB page and Online CTMH shop.
So just to update this blog...I have been very busy since I last posted in this blog...last year I became an instant mommy and I have been continuing with my mixed media art. I was doing workshops for a bit but when I began to work on getting what we needed to get done to be foster to adopt ready I had to put all my creative endeavors on hold. Now that so many things are settling down (as our lives had literally been through many trials and tribulations) I feel I am ready to pursue my desire to do more with my creative abilities and help our household out at the same time!
I began to do research and was even considering to completely start my own business doing mixed media art workshops and sell kits for them...but I quickly realized that I just don't have the means to make something like that happen...at this time! Then I began looking at what other companies have to offer and honestly, looked up CTMH first since that was the company I first began to try this endeavor over 10 years ago back when they were called D.O.T.S. (Dozens Of Terrific Stamps) and they soon after changed to CTMH (Close To My Heart).
Back then I was very shy and tooo stuck in my cocoon to venture out for business and so my business became stagnant. Now I feel so excited and ready to make this creative business venture work for me and to have fun while doing so! I also decided to join CTMH because as a new mommy I would like to create handmade Memory books for our family. I still enjoy Digital Designing but I also love creating by hand.
That's what I loved about what CTMH has to offer...they have Workshops on the go, card kits and even jewelry and home décor options and I seen how I can use lots of the supplies to incorporate with my Art Journal workshops! Also the new consultant kit is a great reason...if you would like a great stamp starter kit for creating Scrapbook pages and cards...this kit is a great investment for only $99!!
They also provided me with my very own online CTMH shop...just click this link to see it!!
Looking forward to sharing more CTMH creations soon! Cre8tvlyYrs, Gina

Just a little update...
Hello & Happy Easter...Thank you for stopping by! :) Well it's been about a year since I last posted here...it always amazes me how time seems to fly by. So it's right before all the Easter activities now and being Catholic-Christian and now being in the choir makes it an even more busy time of year...tonight is the 1st of 4 days in a row of masses that my choir is singing for. I am not required to do them all but I plan to do at least 2 of them...maybe more if I get most of my Easter projects done in time! :)
Anyways, here is a little update for what is going on and what I'm planning in the upcoming future...
*Slideshows - I have finally learned how to use my software for slideshows and now am offering slideshows as part of my services here. To get an estimate for your slideshow project, you can either send me an e-mail at cre8tvlyyrs@msn.com or leave a message at (951) 243-5426 with your information and I will contact you as soon as possible!
*Etsy shop - I will be adding some items shortly but I am also trying to discern whether I will be keeping Etsy or looking into another type of shop. So I will definately update if or when things change on that.
*Artwork & Artshows - I am currently working on artwork and planning to do my 1st Artshow this year (October 2011). I will update on my art blog about that, here's the link if your interested...this is my main blog that I actually post on: http://ginas-whimsy-art.blogspot.com/
*Jewelry - I have been currently creating artwork but mainly creating jewelry...which seems to sell so quickly I haven't even needed to post those creations up for sale!
To contact me for my artwork & jewelry, I do accept commissions which you can contact me directly for as above: e-mail cre8tvlyyrs@msn.com or leave a message at (951) 243-5426
May the Lord bless you this Easter! Creatively Yours, Gina Arzaga :)

New Beginnings...
Hello, It's been a while since I've posted here since I mainly post on my blog showcasing my artwork but I thought I'd post an announcement that Cre8tvlyYrs*Gina's Arts & Crafts Boutique is now open! Also, just a reminder/tip for Christmas...yes, I know it's July but Christmas comes soo fast! In case your considering a custom scrapbook album or piece of artwork I recommend getting that set up with me as early as now...I need time to get the work done you know! I will only be taking one consignment at a time and will require at least 2 weeks but prefer 3 weeks to complete! Please contact me directly at cre8tvlyyrs@msn.com for questions or inquiries!
Have a blessed day! Cre8tvlyYrs, Gina :)

Featured Artwork by Gina Arzaga
Hello and Happy New Year everyone!
Since last I wrote I have created alot more artwork that I've completed and have prints available in my etsy shop. This is the featured piece as it's so far my family & friends favorite...it's called 'Margarita' and is the main feature and first of my 'Latina Flair' edition. There will be definately be more pieces in this style and the prints of this are beautiful!
[The original piece is a multi-media (collaged/painted background) with acrylics on a 16"x20" canvas; commissioned by my parents after they seen my first 'experimental' version of this.]

Introducing Whimsical Artworks of Gina Arzaga
I'm so delighted to share that I am focusing my creative energy on my artwork and have also created a new blog dedicated to all my whimsy artworks and art I am working on! You can find the link to my new blog here or on the side bar. I will still be offering all my other creative services listed here on this blog but wanted to share that I felt led by the Lord to this decision to share my art on a more personal level. So please visit that blog for all the current things going on there!
My artwork will feature inspirational quotes, scripture and varies from bright artwork perfect for decorating children's rooms or play areas to beautiful home decor tones with my 'Painted Ladies'...from my 'Faces of Life' or "Angelic Art" series. I will have my artwork available as originals, prints and even open for commissioned pieces. Just contact me at cre8tvlyyrs@msn.com for more information and inquiries.
