Hello!
I am pleased to have the wonderful folks at Close To My Heart as an invited sponsor here in on my blog. If you have been to my blog before, you know that I love companies in this industry who have big hearts full of generosity. Well, CTMH is one of them. A good example? This pregnancy hasn’t been super easy on this old body of mine. And a few months ago, I got a card in the mail from the sweet folks at CTMH… signed by many of them. That is classy. What’s not to love?
I had used Close To My Heart a lot in the past (you can see an album I created HERE and HERE, and a layout HERE.) and was excited to use it again a few weeks ago. I used a great set of papers and embellishments from them for these cards. They came together so easily! Colin has loved getting them whenever he does something new and big at school…

He adores getting these, especially when they are personalized. Love the CTMH cork letter stickers…

And another…

Fun, huh? Those embellishments are canvas-y. Love.
If you are interested in finding someone who sells Close To My Heart near you, check HERE. I also recommend you check out their online idea book – it is filled with incredible card and scrapbook page ideas. Good stuff.
Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Cute cards! I’ve never used CTMH but will have to look into it. Hope the pregnancy gets easier for you!
That’s what I love about CTMH, they are real people. I’ve been a consultant for over 12 years and it’s just like family to me. Love your cards, they are adorable!

Jennifer, thank you for spreading the word about Close To My Heart! I love being a consultant for this awesome company. And talk about heart…CTMH is running a contest to see who can raise the most money for Operation Smile. I can’t imagine how many children are going to grow up with smiles on their faces thanks to their generosity.
I look forward to seeing more of your projects using CTMH products!

I love, love, love these cards! I hope you’re doing well and that things are getting a bit easier. Take care of yourself!!
Wow these are really fabulous!!
Love those character affirming cards for Colin, how blessed is he? I remember CTMH back in the day when they were DOTS. I still use a very ancient little lamb stamp as my signature on my cards. Thanks for the reminder. Sending love and blessings as you get closer to meeting your new little darling.
Such fun cards!!! TFS!!!
Great cards and I just love the “online idea book” so may ideas
As a former consultant I am a huge CTMH fan! I love their stuff! Your cards are fabulous!
Love your use of the canvas shapes! Don’t you just love how all the CTMH products co-ordinate? I’m so spoiled, since becoming a consultant, I have a hard time using all the product I collected before CTMH. Love, love, love their how-to books! Makes me look creative even when I’m not feeling it.
Good luck on your pregnancy! Looks like the new baby is coming into a well- loved family from the looks of the cards! Many blessings!
Fantastic stuff by fantastic people! Hope you are doing well!
I love the layouts that you did using the Miracle kit from CTMH . I love how their products all co-ordinate and take the guesswork out of putting a page together. I have been a fan of yours for a long time.
Those cards look great. I’ll go check them out.
Adorable cards you made for your little guy! CTMH products sure are awesome, aren’t they?!?
Great cards!
What the heck!!!! How the heck did I miss that you are expecting????
OMG!!! How VERY exciting is that!!! There is nothing more precious on earth then our children (I know as I hold my own little guy as we speak…)
Congrats to you, even though I may be rather late!
And thanks for sharing the card! Adore it!

I love them, too! I became a consultant mainly to buy their things for my crafting–I like their albums best… I just meet the minimum every quarter just to stay in!

I haven’t heard of them before. I will have to keep on the lookout for their line.
I hope your pregnancy smoothes out! Some are definitely rougher than others!
Your cards are wonderful! As a CTMH consultant I am never surprised by the generosity and heart that our company consistently shows. Not only are their products top notch but every interaction I’ve had with corporate staff has always left me smiling. Thanks for spreading the word about our company and showcasing our products so beautifully with your projects!
These are super cute! Love the colors and the great textures!
Such a nice kit. Love the colors, ribbons, & stamps, especially. Nelda
