As a child I loved to cut and paste and color. As I got older my passion for art, and colors never faded. I have always been drawn to creative outlets. As a teenager I loved to doodle all over the place and take tons of pictures, then as an adult I loved to paint, after becoming a mom I loved displaying my family’s photographs all over the walls. In High School I was introduced to scrapbooking and did a couple of albums but, time kept me from really keeping up with it, however once I had kids that all changed. I fell in love with colors, papers, and photographs all over again. Scrapbooking gave me the perfect place to enhance and truly document all of the wonderful memories I have created with my family.
Card design and altered art came shortly after as a way to give personalized gifts to people I cared about and as a way to use up all of the scraps I have from scrapbooking. For me card making and scrapping go hand in hand. I could not image my world not having both!
After years of hunting specials, clipping coupons, and hundreds of hours looking for the best price and quality I came across CTMH. I immediately fell in love with the my acrylix stamps. Then came the love for their paper, inks, and B&T duos patterned paper. I was awestruck with the amazing value and competitive prices. Quickly I found the place I had been searching for. I joined Close to My Heart in January of 2011 so that I could bring the same quality and creativity to you.
