Close to My Heart (CLOSED)
6:00 AM Posted by Angie Vinez
Close To My Heart began as the inspiration of founder Jeanette Lynton, who started her first direct-sales decorative stamp business in 1984, eventually redirecting her success to form D.O.T.S. (Dozens of Terrific Stamps), a company featuring her own exclusive designs. In 1996, Jeanette introduced an exclusive line of scrapbooking products and techniques under the name, "Close To My Heart." In 2000, the stamping and scrapbooking lines were combined under the same name.With Close To My Heart, Jeanette continues to lead the scrapbooking industry with revolutionary new products and a rewarding business opportunity. With recent product innovations including a full line of stunning My Acrylix™ stamps and 9” x 9” scrapbook albums with coordinating papers.
The company has grown tremendously, including an international expansion into Canada in 2003. Powered by thousands of successful sales Consultants and a broad customer base, Close To My Heart is committed to helping each and every individual express their own personal creativity while celebrating the special relationships in their lives.
Thanks to Michelle, a consultant with Close To My Heart, I get to giveaway a fabulous stamp set to one lucky winner!
Want to Try Close to My Heart for Yourself?
Michelle of Close To My Heart is offering a stamp set called "Be Yourself." (Pictured at the right.) It is a size D acrylix stamp that has a retail price of $22.95. (A size D acrylix stamp is one of the larger size stamp sets.) There are 8 women stamps with different outfits and poses. There are 6 different words to go with the women. Some of the words are confident, perfect and beautiful. The stamps come in a nice envelope for safe keeping of the stamps.

I am an avid memory saver. Anything from birthday cards, to little notes my hubby may leave me goes in either a scrap book, or rubbermaid containers I have marked "memories". After my daughter was born, I got her a rubbermaid container just for her memories. I collect photos online, and the extra special ones get printed for photo albums or scrapbooks.

I admit, I'm not the best with pictures. They are all sitting on my computer and I only have a black printer, so there they will stay! I like to save other mementos, such as ticket stubs and cards to remind me of special memories.
