Layout Contest

As we celebrate Jeanette’s 35 year anniversary, we are reminiscing about so many of her achievements and contributions over the years that have been documented by her memory keeping. This is a perfect time for you to document one of YOUR personal achievements of which you are most proud. What is something you’ve accomplished in your own life that you can document and share? Some ideas may be a wedding milestone, beating an illness, building your CTMH business, school or family goals, etc.


For the layout contest, create a layout that digs deep into the achievement you choose to document. Journaling is a huge part of this contest as we want to see your story details. All layouts must include a title, journaling and a photo.

Use Close To My Heart product in creative ways. Judging will be focused on creativity through titling, journaling, photography, and unique product usage.
