Have you ever wonder how Close to My Heart came about? Did you know that Close to My Heart was called D.O.T.S? Do you want to know more about our founder of Close to My Heart? Who am I talking about, you might ask? I'm talking about our founder and friend, Jeanette Lynton. I haven't met her yet, but I'm inspired by her knowledge, dedication and love for stamping & scrapbooking. Of course, she has a lot of aspirations of how she wants to run Close to My Heart and how she treasures each of us Consultants. But the ability to also share her personal life and the multitude of ideas on how to preserve our memories. Check out her blog at www.jeanettelynton.com.

M.I.A.

I want to apologize to all of my fellow scrapbookers for not updating my blog the past month in a half. Has it been that long? WoW! Things have been a little bit crazy the last couple of weeks, that I neglected to update my blog with all my projects, upcoming events and everything else around me. So why have I been M.I.A these last couple of weeks? Well, let's just say that I am no longer spending my days staying at home taking care of the kids and scrapbooking in my spare time. Ha! Spare time...that's an understatement for a full-time mommy of three! I am back in the workforce! Yes, I am working for a wonderful company close by my home everyday of the week. I have been so busy learning my new position and getting used to working everyday that scrapbooking almost became nonexistant! But now I'm back to my projects and anxious to update all of you on what's been going on! All I can say is that since I have gone back into the workforce, I am blessed to have my family & friends to support me these last couple of weeks. I am also thankful for the company I work for! I love my JOB and everyday I wake up, I look forward to coming into work and doing my best to get my job done before the end of the day.

Topstitch Favorite!




Ever since Close to My Heart came out with the Spring 2010 Idea Book, I can't help but look at the CUTE paper packets we came out with. OMG..the "TOPSTITCH" paper packet is my most favorite one of all! It's so versatile and adorable, I've ordered so much of it, I still can't get enough of it. The project above was made at one of my clubs that I attend every month. We made a Gift Card Holder & Criss-Cross Gift Box. Of course, this very adorable project was made by my upline, Lisa! We had so much fun making this project. I had to show this off to all of you!

Spring

Especially Made For You
(Inspired by Lauren Meader/PaperTreyInk)


Supplies used: Veranda Collection/Paper Trey Ink's "All Boxed Up"

If any of you wonder where I get my inspirations on some of my projects. Here is one that you will love to make for any occasion. This was inspired by a lady by the name of Lauren Meader/Paper Trey Ink. Lauren and couple of other ladies creates these beautiful templates that you can download on their site for a fee. I call this 'Especially Made For You' because I made it for a friend who love's to make personalized cards for her friends. The project was so versatile, I made another one for my daughter with a notebook & colored pens (yet to be finished, but in the works). I used the Creative Basics Veranda Collection & Key To My Heart (Constant Campaign).
