Provide a brief description of the company
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.
