Close To My Heart began as the inspiration of founder Jeanette Lynton, who started her first direct-sales decorative stamp business in 1984, eventually redirecting her success to form D.O.T.S. (Dozens of Terrific Stamps), a company featuring her own exclusive designs. In 1996, Jeanette introduced an exclusive line of scrapbooking products and techniques under the name "Close To My Heart." In 2000, the stamping and scrapbooking lines were combined under the same name.
With Close To My Heart, Jeanette continues to lead the scrapbooking industry with a rewarding business opportunity and revolutionary new products, including a full line of stunning My Acrylix® stamps and 9” x 9” scrapbook albums with coordinating papers.
The company has grown tremendously, including an international expansion into Canada in 2003. Powered by thousands of successful sales Consultants and a broad customer base, Close To My Heart is committed to helping each and every individual express their own personal creativity while celebrating the special relationships in their lives.
