My little crafty corner to share with you my creative journey.
Join me for the ride and let's create and learn together.turquesadothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08035099641621928158noreply@blogger.comBlogger27125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650234144964544491.post-3574942386629168152019-09-10T16:22:00.001-07:002019-09-10T16:22:41.033-07:00Hi everyone!!!! I think it is about time that I started sharing some of my thoughts again.
This year has been filled with so much inspiration and growth. I have decided to incorporate more meaning into what I share through my art and what I teach to my students.
I am a firm believer that art has a healing process that connects us to our true selves and helps us get in touch with our feelings and emotions. Not only that, but art is also a wonderful way to release the stress and to help you recharge and make some time for YOU.
I have just created a group on Facebook to focus on that beautiful art healing and recharging for those who enjoy creating and sharing in a positive environment where you feel comfortable and inspired to create. You do not need to be an artist or have top skills to join...It is about having fun experimenting with different mediums and exploring ideas on a visual journal and other formats.
It is a closed group called CreActivity with Evy, so if you are interested in joining us, look us up and ask to join. Hope to see some new and old friends there.
How do you feel when you create? Let me know in the comments below.

I hope so, since otherwise I am all alone in "Our Little Creative Spot".
What I did want to share today was something new in my life. Yes, such is life, what can I say. The Summer is always full of changes and surpises for me...It seems that every Summer for the past few years something new starts to happen. Last year we moved houses, this year we might be moving back, but I have also started a new shop on Etsy. So time will tell what the end of Summer will look like, but for now I am ready to create and to explore my love of texture and color. I am working happily to develop this new line of art that I chose to share with the World.
I hope you all join me as I continue in this journey and I look forward to sharing what inspires me with all of you. Today my inspiration was color combinations and jewelry and I created a few art pieces to sell in my store...So much fun...I love it!
That is all for now, but I will be back to share pictures once the pieces are ready. Happy weekend to all!

The month of January has been a very active one so far...Travels, family time, crafty shopping and now on to new and wonderful creative challenges to join and create...I is already looking like a fun and positve new year for all.
I have just proudly added the badge for the amazing private group I joined last year on Facebook, hosted and organized by Luisa Diaz and I look forward to the coming months and everything they will bring. The special friendships I have found online sharing through YouTube, Tinychat, Skype and NBC's Facebook group are such a joy in my life and I truly treasure this amazing opportunity. I hope I can continue to share with all of you.
I am proud to say that I have two craft channels. I started my Spanish channel Puntoturquesa in the last months of 2012 with great response and the joy of finding new wonderful, creative, talented and crafty friends. I look forward to this 2013 and all the fun and inspirational moments we will have the opportunity to share. I feel very blessed to be inspired and to learn from so many talented ladies and friends in this new creative journey and thank all of you for your support and sharing.
Have a great January and I hope to be back soon to share more with all of you. I will do my best to keep all of my creative channels active and to find ways in which I can share with all my friend groups here and on the rest of the creative groups I am proud to be part of. Please join me and let me know about you and what you would like to find here and on my YT channels. thanks and happy crafting and creative inspirations to all.turquesadothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08035099641621928158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650234144964544491.post-89434689064890121502012-06-19T17:39:00.000-07:002012-06-19T17:39:37.780-07:00Hello my crafty friends I have been neglecting my blog for way to long and I am so sorry. Here is a little update.
May and June have been wonderful so far. School ended on the 31st of May and I was super drained after a long year with tons of work, but so thrilled to get some time to do my crafts. I celebrated my 45th Birthday on the 1st of June and have kept right on celebrating by doing some serious crafting hauls and working on lots of new projects. I am so thankful to have been able to get some wonderful goodies to play with.
I was able to do this after a week of serious cleaning and organizing and some crafty shopping and lots of help from very kind and truly special new friends. With all their wonderful support I have been so inspired to create and I am loving it. There are no words to describe how thankful I am for the motivation and support I have been receiving form all the incredible people in this community. New friends who take time out of their lives to leave me sweet comments of support and motivation. They make my day extra special.
I will try to keep up with both the blog and my YouTube channel and do all the projects I have planned for this summer and would love for you to join me in this journey. I hope we get to share some very special moments in this little corner and bring each other lots of inspiration. It has been so much fun so far and I hope it only gets better. So big hugs to all and hope to have your visits soon. Your visits and comments will be so truly appreciated...
Have some creative fun, go play,

Today I was actually able to finish my second Birthday present for one of my daughter's friends. I did the first one last weekend.
I decided to try and give handmade things for all the next presents coming up this month. So I am hard at work on them since my daughters have been invited to five birthdays so far...I made a video of both of them. Please visit my YouTube channel or press on the video below to watch.
I will try to post some pictures I took of the last set before I had to wrap it. I hope you get just as inspired to make some gifts too.
Come back and visit soon, have a wonderful week, Evy

When I do have the time I am just way to drained to do my crafting or anything to time consuming. So ,so sorry for that. <br />
<br />
Anyways I have been working in my art just as a way to relax and to keep some type of creation going and I would like to share some of that with you today. To satrt with my update I made a video of my art journal for the trip to France...It is still in the works but I am almost done with the bulk of it. <br />
If you woul like to see it please press on the link below and take a look at the video.<br />
<iframe width="360" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7LdUpUIsnKc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
The other projects I have been working on are a couple of sketchbooks and many little painting excercises that I love doing when I do get some free time. It really helps me to relax and feel like I have done something for my creative juices to keep flowing. Finally, I have this week off from work...YAY!!! so I am loving that I could dedicate some time to my craft room and some small projects. I missed it way to much...I only wish I could do it more often. <br />
<br />
So that is what I have been upto on my creative journey for the fast months and I hope to be able to do a lot more during this upcoming summer vacation...<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for your visit to my blog and I promise I will make a bigger effort to keep it way more active....Hope you are all well and having a positive and creative time. <br />

It was such an uplifting trip, full of creative time for myself and getting in touch with my art background. I spent 10 full days dedicated to my art and in direct contact with the beauty of the south of France in the Ardeche region...AMAZING.<br />
<br />
The group of teachers that joined me on this workshop was amazing and so full of support and encouragement that the whole experience was truly more of a retreat. After the workshop I spent some true quality time with a big group of my family memebers that met at the location and that was just icing on the cake....<br />
<br />
So these are some pictures of my trip... I hope you enjoy them...I am also back to work this week too so my posts might not be as regular as during my summer vacation...but I hope to keep in touch and creating, so that we can keep sharing and getting to know each other...hugs to all and hope to hear from you soon...<br />

<br />
The Ardeche region was magical and the workshop was so uplifting and inspiring...I was able to reach back into my artistic core and truly enjoy the sorroundings and see everything from a new perspective. I am organizing the pictures and working on my journal so I hope to share some of it soon. It was truly an amazing trip and I loved it. <br />

I don't know if some of you did see it but just in case. Here it is:<br />
<br />
<iframe width="400" height="257" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mW7wGdJXUIo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
Besides that I just finished some invitations for my beautiful new nephew's Baptism and with that my last project before I left. Tried to take some pictures but they came out horrible. I need to get a better camera and set up some time soon. (very delicate and simple but I love how they turned out). I will double check them again and see if I can show you how they looked. But they are now on their way to Williamstown, Ma so if the pics I got do not work I missed the chance...je,je.<br />
<br />
I hope I get some type of internet connection on this trip, so that I can keep in contact, but I have no idea how that will work or how much free time I will have during this trip, so I will tell you all how it went when I get back (hopefully with some great pictures). I so look forward to making this blog a friendly environment where we can share, meet and enjoy ourselves. I hope to make this blog just that, a great Creative Spot where we get to spend some time getting to know what we like, what inspires us and developing some great new frienships. I truly enjoy your visits and finding all your comments so please keep them coming and I will be back soon...hugs and thanks for stoping by.<br />

There are some details that I want to find out before I announce it. So please, those of you who have already done this, if you could PM with your advise or just leave me a comment I would be so thankful.<br />
Have a Sweet and Happy Day,<br />

I hope that I may inspire you in some way and look forward to all your responses, feedback and shared inspirations.<br />
<br />
Now on to my new project...making an art journal was on the top of my list of things I wanted to do this summer...and it is finally on its beginning stages. YES!!!<br />
<br />
The true reason behind it is that I was offered a truly special opportunity this summer and as part of my job I will be attending an Art Teachers Workshop in Ardeche, France. So coming up are some wonderful days sorrounded by gorgeous lanvender fields, a very tranquil landscape and some artistic inspiration by joining other fellow art teachers. So I want to create a journal for this special trip and make a true effort to add journaling about it, memorabilia, sketches and just some fun experiments to it. I will keep adding to it once I get back with the final details and embellishments that I find along the way...So today I'd like to share you with my warming up first pages and the cover....<br />
<br />
These are the elements I started with:<br />

That means finding all my products from different stages I have gone through in my designs and as usual finding new ways in which I can combine my things with the new ones I have been buying now...I love doing that.<br />
So first I started palying with my beads and made some pins...so much fun that my six year old girl wanted to play again...What a great partner to play with...then I made some different types of flowers..that was so much fun too and finally on Wednesday I found a box full of projects that I had made a while ago but never got arround to show or sell...so I made a video to show you what they look like....I would really love some feedback on what you all think of them. So here are both videos. I hope you like them...Now I am off to start on my new art journal which is something I want to start doing this summer. I hope to share some of it soon...<br />

(...and Virgina's tempting question to participate also helped, "big smile for that")<br />
So here is what I came up with...no kraft card stock or embellishments or paper for that matter so use what you do have...One Kraft box, one kraft paper bag, some yarn, my knots form the hardware store, some left over ribbon from a project and a 5X7 Brown Cardstock and some cutting and playing around.... (not the best photos, sorry but the camera won) I think you get the idea...I hope : )<br />

It has been so hard to get things done with all three kids wanting my attention full time. Every time I try to work on my projects my kids want to do crafts too and I have to stop and help them. Well yeah I don't blame them with all the goodies finally on display and so accesible, who would not want to play with them..LOL. Specially with Mom doing fun stuff with it. and once they are done they are ready to go swimming and then, and then, well then it's ELEVEN o'clock (PM) and I finally get to do my thing.<br />
<br />
So now onto what is new...I received my online orders for new products that I wanted to try. YAY!!! so many goodies to play with and loving all my new things. Of course I wanted to try everything out FAST..you know how thrilling it is to try something new...oh and scary too...LOL. This time I just jumped right into it without giving it too much thought and it has been so much fun.<br />
<br />
What I have been playing with is....(little drum roll please)... three altered canvases inspired by a dress form die cut set I bought from Bona....(Thank You Bona, I am loving them!!!!). Then my promise to mix it up with my old things to keep it challenging and productive. I am almost done with all three and will be uploading a video and maybe some pictures, but to give you a small clue they are dress forms in three styles (a) classic, (b) girly and (c) artsy, basically based on three sides of me. The artsy one is the one I started yesterday for an altered canvas challenge they are having this month (July) at A Little Scrap of Heaven.<br />
<br />
Now I am off to finish the artsy one...the kids are finally sleeping. Hurray...I hope you come back and take a look at them and let me know what you think...<br />

<br />
1. I live in sunny Puerto Rico, but was born in Boston, MA (only lived there until I was two years old but love that city).<br />
2. I have three little blessings ages 9, 6 and 5 and there is never a dull moment at home.<br />
3. I love this new Blog and YouTube Crafting world that I just found<br />
4. My Husband is my biggest fan and supporter of this creative passion of mine.<br />
5. I can spend all day crafting and creating...It feels like my Disney<br />
6. I love Coke Zero and drink way to much of it.<br />
7. I am such a night owl...<br />
8. I truly hope to get to meet some new friends in this wonderful new online community. So much talent and truly special people all around. I am so glad that I found it and to know that there are so many of you out there having a blast making special things and creating memories to treasure for ever...Thank You all for the true inspiration and joy.<br />

I have been staying up to some absurd hours to keep up with what I want to get done. No chance of doing it while the kids are awake and running around. But I am truly getting things done so I am very happy. I just added a video on the projects I made. (If you would like to take a look and let me know how you like it please look on my previous post Titled "Working with what I have" since I just made a little edit to include the final result). Now I am off to try an make the best of our day...Hope you have a bright one and thank you for passing by,<br />

The colors are inspired by the color scheme I am working on for my altered frame (look at my previous post and you will get a sneak peak at that) and the design is inspired by two blog challenges of the week and my love of design...I am loving how it all comes together and I get the perfect push to create and use what I have.<br />
<br />
So here it is...One of a Kind Tag Card created by using a combination of border punches and regular punches. I created my own original dress and purse fashion inspiration tag card to display in my studio...(inside I will add small pictures of my fashion related creations and the word DESIGNS).<br />

Today I wanted to share my take on filming my video on the Flip and let you know that I liked how it turned out so much better than what I achieved on my iPod Touch video attempt.<br />
<br />
I was able to film two of my kids making a project inspired by my first video and it came out great. Then my attempt at editing the video including music and multiple clips was so much fun. So I am one happy camper!!!!<br />
<br />
I also have to confess that I got bitten by the "haul" bug and did make a couple of online purchases with my birthday money and I am thrilled and inspired to try everything out...so here is the video of my kids (please let me know what you think) and I am off to try my goodies out...Keep creating and having fun and hope to see you back soon.<br />

<br />
The one I did make in time to join was CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC #7, but it is also inspired by a Tuesday Trigger : Rainbow Bright at Moxie Fab World's Blog<br />
<br />
The bright colors in this one I loved and the texture of the thread...well what can I say....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDsPc2VS8tU8tQJPOOyw4vj92I81rmd5nGJw-EyV3IA7vZkVx3Wiqyy9xj8fvpLdXqdW_wzupFQXuz0003jY-Q5qEtp9Te8cy9uly4JMonXYeLrysgTU6WHLxpyy6xplvWME4v4gNE32A/s320/37317995_G6aNfudU_c.jpg" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/06/tuesday-trigger-rainbow-bright.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Tuesday Trigger Moxie Fab World</span></a></div><br />
And this CFC one focused on color blocking made it even more fun to play with....<br />

<br />

I am testing both videos to see the one that will work best for my blog uploads...The first one was not good on my iPod 4G...so new at this posting trend that I did not think of filming it horizontally...So I tested that and it works better...But the one I filmed with my Flip using a trypod worked out great....now I just have to edit the video and see what all of you think...<br />
See you soon with news on that...(growing on my tech abilities every day)<br />
SMILE and have a great day!turquesadothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08035099641621928158noreply@blogger.com0
