April 2017 Special

Close to My Heart's special for the month of April 2017 is 50% off the Cut Above scrapbooking kits. These kits allow you to make a double page layout in about 15 minutes.


These kits come with everything you need to make two 12 x 12 layouts plus 2 pocket scrapbooking layouts. The pieces are already cut. All you need to do is to glue everything together and add your photos.


The kit includes die-cuts, stickers, photo place holders, Memory Protectors, and instructions. It also includes 12 coordinating pocket cards and 2 divided Memory Protectors for adding more photos.

The Little One kit is geared towards babies. I have also seen it used to document grandparents and their grandchildren. The Forever and Always kit is geared towards weddings, but can also be used for anniversaries.

The kits retail for $14.95 -- this month they are only $7.48.
