Close to my Heart

2 Page layout using Chantilly papers and Complements (chipboard) assortment

In mid July I went up to Sydney with a group of ladies to the Sydney launch of Close to My Heart stamping and scrapbooking company into Australia. We had so much fun! Several people from Close to my Heart in the US came to Australia (and New Zealand!) to introduce the company and it's products to new and potential consultants. As well as learning about the business opportunities we got to play and made a cute little Thank You card as well as a two page layout. I couldn't wait to get home to add some photos to my page.

So, the next day I signed up to become a consultant and now my Close to my Heart journey is about to begin.

My kit!

My kit has arrived and I'm currently drooling over the contents and trying to work out how best to launch this new venture. I'll be inviting those of you in Canberra to come along to my open house soon! If you're elsewhere in Australia and want to take a look at the products online you can do so by going to my website. As a new company in Australia things are still evolving a little and the website is still changing from time to time.
