Hello and Welcome to My Story!
Do you love scrapbooking, card making or paper crafting? Does the sight of patterned papers, ribbons, and embellishments make your heart beat faster? Do you LOVE being creative? You’ve come to the right place because I love to create as well!
My name is Donna Reed and I am a Close To My Heart Consultant. Many years ago I began my stamping and cardmaking hobby and it took until 2003 before I found scrapbooking. Once I did, I was hooked! I love it so much I just want everyone I know to find out how fun, relaxing and rewarding scrapping and stamping really is. And with Close to My Heart I can do that because CTMH combines the best of both worlds…scrapping AND stamping!
For over 25 years, Close To My Heart has been on the cutting edge of the popular and fast-growing scrapbooking and stamping industry. I would love to share with you our complete line of quality scrapbooking and stamping products. We truly have something for everyone, from our Faster, Simpler, and Easier My Reflections® Scrapbooking Kits and our My Originals® Card Making Kits, to our revolutionary My Acrylix® stamp sets. I would love to show you and your friends how to create beautiful artwork to honor the special relationships in your lives. Please contact me to see the latest exclusive products from Close To My Heart, to place an order (or just use online ordering), to obtain a copy of our fabulous ALL NEW Autumn/Winter Idea Book...full of brand new products...or to schedule a Home Gathering!
Home Gathering - Invite your guests for a time of creative fun in your home. I will show off new products, your guests will make a fantastic project to take home, and you, as the hostess, can earn FREE Close To My Heart products! I can customize the party to fit your guest’s interests and skill levels. Contact me for more info on planning your very own Home Gathering!
Fundraising – I can assist in your fundraising effort by offering my event planning services and attending your scrapbook event as a vendor. I carry a large inventory for your attendees’ shopping convenience. I will also donate items to your raffle table! Call for more details!
Workshop on the Go - Each month features a different CTMH paper pack. The fee includes everything you need to create your project - materials, embellishments, instructions and photos to complete your kit! At any time you can get additional help by phone or e-mail.
Hostess Clubs - When you join one of my Hostess Clubs, you have the ability to earn Hostess Rewards! You and five of your friends make up the club. Each participant commits to spending $25 each month, for six months, on fantastic Close to My Heart. Club members take turns being the “hostess” and she receives the hostess REWARDS for her month. The rewards include a Free Stamp of the Month and at least $25 in select product.
Special Classes – I offer classes and instruction to a variety of groups, (Mommy and Me, Homeschoolers, MOPS, Girl Scouts, Church groups, etc.). Let me know what your group would like to create and I will tailor the class to meet your needs.
