I have been papercrafting for just about seven years thanks to the persuasion of my sister, Jayne.  She wanted to make an album for my upcoming wedding and suggested we take an introductory scrapbooking class together.  I can't thank her enough for igniting my passion for preserving memories and creating one of a kind cards and home decor items.  In fact, she was the one to convince me to attend my first scrapbooking weekend.  The Crop Classix weekend in Harrisburg, PA (our hometown) opened my eyes to a whole new world of papercrafting and introduced me to the products of Close to My Heart.  After our first cardmaking class we were hooked and couldn't wait to pick up the papers, inks, and My Acrylix stamps to duplicate our efforts at home.  Thus began my obsession with Close to My Heart products.  When my husband and I decided to relocate from the Washington, D. C. area, I knew it was time to join the Close to My Heart family.  What better way to make friends then to share this fun and exciting hobby with those around you?!
Yesterday marked my second year anniversary with Close to My Heart.  I am so proud and excited to be a part of such a wonderful company.  I chose to be a consultant with CTMH because of their superior quality of product and ingenious designs.  With every new idea book there is always something new and fresh I can't wait to try.  The current book, Spring 2010 is no exception.  Once you get your hands on it, I am sure you will be hooked.  Contact me via email at grimjennifer@hotmail.com to find out how to get a paper copy and/or view it on my website http://www.closetomyheart.com/Products/Online_Idea_Book.aspx?i=4444&c=1.  Be sure to check back in on Friday when I share with you my "Love You" card (complete with instructions) perfect for Valentine's Day.
