Who doesn't love a BARGAIN?!

12 years ago, I became introduced to scrapbooking. I had SO MANY albums I wanted to create, and building a legacy for my family was of great importance to me!

I had been to a home demo and left there after making my first scrapbook page knowing I wanted EVERYTHING! My wish list of products was as long as my arm, but I was on maternity leave, we had a 5 month old baby and there was only one income coming in! 

It didn't take a genius to figure out buying the $395 start up consultant kit was going to be a great way to get me started with all my supplies, PLUS enable me to feed my new paper addiction at a portion of the retail price! 

I took a leap of faith and what started for me as a hobby, purely getting my products at cost price, soon grew into a successful business and enabled me to stay at home with my baby whilst contributing to the household income. 

One of the things I love MOST about Close To My Heart is that "Everyone Is Welcome Here." Whether you're a hard core crafter, a memory keeping scrapbooker or a creative card maker, there is something here for everyone. And it doesn't have to be all or nothing! If someone had said to me "You can only buy this kit if you're going to build a business", I would never have joined. A business was the last thing on my mind. All I wanted was the products, at less the full price, who doesn't love a bargain?! 

July 1st has seen the release of 2 new start up kits, one for the scrapbooker and one for the card maker! If you're like me and love to do both, either kit will work for you! From there, you can build on your wish list by ordering direct from Close To My Heart at a minimum 22% off!

Here are our new kits, both for $130 and both with over $500 worth of products!

What are your FAVE craft goodies that you'd love to save some money on?

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi there and welcome to my blog! This is a place where I want to connect with my current scrapbooking and cardmaking customers and welcome new ones! I have been scrapbooking for over 12 years and have always had a passion for photos and the stories behind them and here's why...

Fast forward to 2014 and I have grown a successful business as a Close To My Heart Consultant helping, inspiring and supporting others in telling their stories through scrapbooking. We meet monthly to work on their album projects and they learn new techniques varying from Level 1 through to Level 3 scrapbooking depending on their styles, tastes and designs.

If you are new to scrapbooking or would like to learn how to get started, please feel free to contact me direct or sign up for email updates to keep in the loop with my blog posts. I will be posting regularly with ideas and artwork, specials and promotions and maybe even some giveaways! I look forward to getting to know you and sharing my scrapbooking passion and experience with you :)
