About Me

Holly Veselenak

As a Close To My Heart Independent Maker and Innovator, Holly enjoys sharing her passion for preserving memories through classic scrapbooking, paper crafting, and card making. In 2003, I was a busy mom of three young children and I was searching for a company that could provide “one-stop” shopping. I was very frustrated with the level of service and products, at local scrapbooking stores, and I knew there had to be a company out there that could meet all of my creative needs. I found that with Close To My Heart. I had no intention of making this a business. I just loved the products and wanted to get the generous discount. One thing lead to another and I turned a “hobby” into a wonderful, meaningful career! I'd love to show you how!
