About Me

Gretel Among

I have been with Close To My Heart for 14 years now and thoroughly enjoy the art of paper crafting. Two things really sold me on the company from the start. My Acrylix with it's clear, compact stamping system. Combine that with the color coordinated paper packs and it was enough to keep me consistently using CTMH products. My three grown children are my continual source of inspiration for scrapbooking. I enjoy making cards and other crafts for many of my friends and family members. Do contact me if you are interested in sharing crafts with those you love as well. Please feel free to browse this website and ask if you have any questions regarding our products, want to learn a new stamping technique or would simply like to share in the fun of creating a lasting legacy for years to come.
