Regatta Paper Packet

I really love the color combo used in the Regatta Paper Packet!  You can use the paper for just about anything, not just ocean/beach themed projects.  Here are few projects I have been working on for our upcoming Craft Night.  We will be learning how to make easy pop up cards.

Pop Up Cards Outside
I like to keep these pretty simple because the real wow is inside!

Inside the card.  Each element is popped up to add fun and dimension to the card.  I had to add googly eyes to the octopus.  He was just too cute.


Layout:  We are taking a family vacation to the beach this year.  I can't wait to put our beach pictures on these pages.



A non beach themed card.  See how the patterns and colors work so nicely with any theme?  Love it!

Join the Crew!


I don't think I have ever shared my feelings about being a Close to My Heart Consultant.  I have talked about the wonderful products and shared all the fun things I have made, but not WHY I do what I do.

Why did I join CTMH 11 years ago?
  • I LOVED the product!  I had never used CTMH products or even stamped before, but I loved what I saw in the catalog and went for it (I have learned a lot since then!)
  • I had just had my first baby and I wanted to stay home with him, so earning extra money for my family doing something I loved was very appealing.  
It was as simple as that!  I found a consultant, Lori.  She was great to answer all my questions.  I used my Christmas money (the consultant kit cost a lot more back then) and I signed up in January of 2005. Little did I know how that decision would change my life for the better!

Why Do I Stay?
  • Crafty Friends!  I have made life long best friends!  They have supported me not only in my business, but my personal life.  I love being able to play with them at team meetings and corporate events.
  • Girls Night!  When I "work" I get to play with my customers who have become my friends as well.
  • Close to My Heart stays on trend and gives consultants first dibs on the new products to play with!  It is like Christmas every time a new idea book is released.
  • The endless supply of ideas CTMH provides for consultants.  A little secret I will let you in on, I don't come up with all my creations on my own (gasp!).  I use the tools and ideas CTMH provides and then share them with you.
  • My craft supplies are paid for!  I NEVER use my family budget on my crafting supplies.  I get a discount and they are delivered right to my door!  CTMH offers so many supplies I rarely need to go to an actual craft store for supplies to finish my projects.
  • A mental health professional once told me that finding a hobby is the best thing you can do for yourself and your mental health.  Making money while enjoying your hobby is even better.
There is just something magical about Close to My Heart that I can't put in to words.  It is something you have to experience for yourself.  It sounds so cheesy, but it's true!

Just some of our amazing team of consultants at convention 2015.  
These ladies have become some of my bestest friends

I invite you to join the Close to My Heart family and to see for yourself what a special company it truly is.  There is no harm in trying the company out for yourself.  If you don't love it as much as I do, that's okay we will still be friends.  If you don't try, you will never know.


April is the perfect month to join!   Close to My Heart has updated their consultant kit to make it even better!  And why did they do that?  Because consultants ask them to, and they did it!

This is the kit and it only cost $75!  Plus you get $50 special product credit to spend how YOU want!

What is included in the kit?
  • Medium Organizer

  • cardstock sampler, fundamentals paper sampler, and pattern paper sampler
  • Petite Perks stamp sets (little sets you can use as giveaways)
  • Party Invites
  • Desk Pad

Let's talk about the Select Product credit.  You get $50 of select product credit which means you can CHOOSE any stamp sets, paper packets, stamp pads, shin han markers, compliments, cardstock, PML cards, and workshop kits!  This is AMAZING!

During April ONLY when you JOIN Close to My Heart you can earn a FREE Cricut Cartridge OR another $100 in select product credit WHEN you submit $350 in sales within your first 30 days!  Don't be scared, CTMH has some wonderful tools to help you and I am here to help you reach your goals!
