Hello! It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything with my blog, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if I ever would again. I needed to focus on other things, and this blog was something I could let go of for awhile. I also took a step back from my Close To My Heart business, but I decided at the end of 2021 that I wasn’t quite ready to be done. I’ve been with the company for over 10 years, and I enjoy having this business as something I do for myself. The craziness of life ebbs and flows, and although our schedule hasn’t necessarily lightened, I feel like I have the time and desire to put a little more energy back into my hobby and business.
The pandemic has also affected how I run my business, especially with in-home workshops. It’s hard to not be able to get together and craft with people in person, and I miss my friends and customers that I met with regularly. Unfortunately, my in-home workshops won’t be starting back up yet, but I’d love to have people over again sometime later this year. I’m just taking it one day at a time.
But since it’s a new year and a new month, and I’m just getting back into things, I wanted to post a few updates about what’s happening with Close To My Heart! Today’s post won’t cover everything, so be sure to check back over the next few days to read all of my updates.
January is National Papercrafting Month, and Close To My Heart’s True Story album kit is the perfect way to celebrate!
The True Story album kit includes pre-printed base pages, die-cuts, stickers, acrylic shapes, Flip Flaps™ and Memory Protectors™, for creating a delightful mini album with surprises on every page! This album has room for an amazing number of photos and stories thanks to the innovative Flip Flaps, making this album a keepsake you will love paging through time and time again!
This kit is available in two discounted bundle options—
one with just the album kit, and
one that also includes a Black 6" × 8" Everyday Life™ Album for holding your completed pages!
Here are a few sample pages from the album. I love all the interactive elements!
This album is so pretty and fun, and I think everyone will love looking through it and flipping and pulling out all the pictures. And it would make a great gift too!
Be sure to check it all out at the link below. The True Story album kit is available through the end of February while supplies last.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you need help with anything.
Thanks!
Bethany Rielage
