Album Allure!

"Once you’ve put your memories to paper, you can feel good about a job well started—but not quite done. Until your pages have a place to call home—a sturdy, attractive, well-balanced album—you haven’t finished the job. Would you ever plan, prepare, and serve an important meal and then leave it out to spoil? Definitely not! You’d immediately make sure it had a home in some hungry tummies, then promptly seal up whatever is left and refrigerate it to enjoy again later. Your memories need the same kind of tender, loving care."

Jeanette Lynton CTMH Founder

Words spoken from the heart!  And if you haven't seen Close To My Heart's new albums....wow!  You are missing out!  Our albums are an amazing balance of high quality, with in-trend designs and stability, sturdiness and a spark of flair. Available with two style types - there is a perfect match for each and every type of scrapbooker.

And what's better?  Throughout the end of February, you may purchase them at an amazing cost:  Buy 1 get 1 half off!  A great price to stock up for yourself and loved ones!

Here are the details:  Some albums are Ruby and others Lagoon; they're all buy one get one half off - a treat just for you!  During the month of February, when you purchase one of Close To My Heart's alluring coated canvas albums you will be eligible to receive a second album of your choice at half price.  That is a savings of $17 USD!  These albums are available in a gorgeous variety of colors and patterns in both post-bound and D-ring styles-perfect to pair with traditional, Studio J, or pocket scrapbook layouts.  This offer is only available while supplies last, so make certain to get your order in early to ensure you can choose the styles and colors you love.  They're going fast and are built to last; so don't delay-place your order today!

Need more Cricut compatiability? There is more!  From now until the end of the November, when you make a qualifying stamp purchase of $25 you can also purchase the adorable D sized Holiday Wishes stamp set below for just $5.  This is a savings of $12.95!  This stamp was also designed to partner with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for perfect Christmas card, and layout creatibility!
