Erin, it is clear to see (and hear) how emotional you are about CTMH closing. Your passion and joy is so evident for not only CTMH, but for scrapbooking, memory preserving and the community you share it with. When one door closes another opens and I’m so excited to see what you share with us in the future. I am so happy when I see a new video from you and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. Cheers to a new chapter for you!

I'm hoping that you'll continue to create and share your layouts with us. I watch you because you are an amazing scrapbooker, my number one go-to when inspiration is needed. I truly believe that God closes doors for a reason, usually for something better. I love scrapbooking, it's my number one hobby, constantly thinking of layouts when I'm out on vacation. I'll look forward to watching you. Hugs.

You are the first person I thought of when I heard the news about CTMH, and I held off on reaching out as I assumed it must have been very emotional news to receive and figured you probably needed time to digest before addressing it. I agree with everything that you said, when one door closes, another one opens - you just don't know what amazing thing will be coming your way next, but I can't imagine that your amazing creativity will find a new place to flourish. You are one of my favorite channel to draw inspiration from and I will keep on watching no matter which products will be featured as I am here for the designing tips and those will remain on point - I have no doubts about it. Big, big hugs! ❤🧡💛

All the scrapbook supplies could be taken away and we still could scrapbook. We can make our own papers and embellishments because creativity never goes away. God gave us a talent and we can do it with newspaper if we have to. Thank you again for sharing your talent with us and may God bless you abundantly. ❤

Erin - I’ve only just found your channel in the past year - but I have enjoyed it so much! I even became a VIP in February lol - timing right? I’ve known about CTMH for many years- but never really paid attention until I started watching your videos. I am SO glad that you plan to continue your channel- whatever products you use- I will watch! Over time, I have become a collection scrapbooker and I try to incorporate my stamps and dies into my pages… that is the thing I liked best about CTMH- the stamps intended for scrapbook layouts! Anyway- I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I appreciate you and enjoy your channel.

Dear Erin, You are an amazing inspiration to me. You were the first person I though of when I received the message about CTMH closing. I was so sad to think that I would no longer be able to watch your talent, hear your stories about the boys, and I was going to miss the cat Dave. I am relieved to know that you will continue to make videos. Now, I will need to take very close notes on the products you use and where to purchase them. Kindest wishes and blessings for you going on.

Dear Erin, thank you for sharing this very heartfelt video during an emotional time of change for you. I'm so glad that you will continue your videos and teach techniques and layouts. I never thought I would use stamps in my layouts and because of you, I now do. I have loved CTMH products but what I really love is how you have shown us how to think about ways to preserve memories no matter the subject. You have a gift which so many have been recipients of and we look forward to the ongoing presentation of this gift, no matter the brand or company. We will follow and most likely purchase everything you are using so wishing you the best as you determine what lucky company(ies) are going to be enhanced should you partner with them! Continues prayers for Peace. You got this. 🥰

Erin, I’d never watched you before and today you showed up in my feed, so I watched. I’m glad you waited until some time went on before you posted. I have a friend who was a consultant for CTMH. Lately, she’d been questioning why she’s still doing it, as sales had gone down, and she was also maintaining 3 other jobs. Bottom line was, she loved CTMH. When we heard the news, we were shocked, to say the least, and that first week was crazy! People who hadn’t bought in awhile were coming out of the woodwork with questions and panic. It was a wild and stressful week. It has calmed down a little, but now the panic buying and the panic waiting for restocks is at full throttle. As a customer, I found CTMH only about 4 years ago. I love their designs, I love their kits, I love their storage items, and I love love love their stamps and dies. The packaging for their stamps and dies is second to none. I love the smell of it (yes, I know that’s silly!!), I love that you can clearly see what’s in the package, and I love that the dies are clipped apart and on magnet sheets. The only other company that I’m aware of that does that is Gina K Designs. To me, scrapbooking will never go away. I’m a cardmaker and journaler, but in my mind, those are just smaller canvasses on which to scrapbook. As long as we have the products and creative makers to show us the way, we’ll all keep creating. I hope you find another company to support or other products to feature, but in the meantime, I hope you’ll continue to create using your stash of CTMH products. After all, it’s not about the exact product, but finding the inspiration, learning the technique, and creating and making it our own. It’s also about the friendships we forge along the way. It’s definitely going to be a huge transition for many, but I pray everyone finds a suitable solution for themselves and their families. Keep bringing the joy and the inspiration. I wish you all the best!

I recently have done my first scrapbooking and can truly say that your videos have inspired me a lot. I didn’t have much of the supplies, to be honest - I didn’t know how it would work, so I tried not to buy a lot in case I didn’t like it or it didn’t go well, you know… but I was so impressed, I was so excited to try, that it turned out amazing (as for the first try). And I thought to myself that what you do is not just scrapbooking, it’s pure art! I’m sure you’ll find a way to replace this huge gap in your heart. Just please don’t stop and bring your wonderful ideas into life! I believe we need all this, because in these days, our photos got lost in the phone memories, and scrapbooking helps to revive them and cherish even more

I’m relatively new to CTMH and have only purchased items in the last couple years but I have surely enjoyed the products and how well everything goes together! I even thought about joining but never did. I did become a VIP, though, to enjoy the company’s offerings! I have been a SU demo for quite a few years but really missed the scrapbooking part so thought CTMH filled a gap. Anyway, I love watching your inspired videos and you are definitely one of the reasons I started purchasing CTMH product! You are Uber talented and I’m so glad you have decided to share with all of us scrapbookers out here in KZfaq world! Thank you so much for all your hard work to produce great teaching videos and I do hope that your transition will be as smooth as possible. *hugs*

I got weepy listening to you; your emotions were coming thru. I understand you’re sad as many of us are. I will be here watching all your KZfaq tutorials as I have learned more from you than anyone else and I do love your style. I look forward to more. I feel like I know you. It’s nice to hear about your family as you craft and to see Dave stop by. I look forward to your next chapter; it’s bound to be good!

Hi Erin, thank you for doing this video for us, I understand it must have been difficult to share your feelings for the world. I've been anxiously waiting to hear and hoping you would say that you were going to continue making KZfaq videos...what a relief to hear that you will!. I found you about two years ago through Dorothy and I've never missed one of your videos since. I didn't start buying CTMH products right away, I watched because I enjoyed YOU and your creative style...I feel like you've become a friend. I've actually been scrapbooking for many years but I had to put it aside for a while due to some serious health problems with a family member that needed help so that didn't allow me the time to scrapbook. I was so inspired by your style and that got me back into the hobby again, so thank you! After a while I began ordering some of the CTMH products that you inspired me to use and have really enjoyed them. I'm very sad that the company has to close their doors and my heart and prayers are with all of those affected by this. See you soon! Your scrappin' friend, Diane

I'm so sorry Erin. I found you randomly on YT a few years ago and always like the way you have never rambled on and get straight to the point of your product and layouts. You were the only CTMH person I ever ordered from. Your videos are professional. I did look through the catalog a few weeks ago to see if there was anything I had to have to support you one last time, but either I had it already or I just don't need more of it. It is so sad when a company that has been around for years goes out of business. It is a huge loss.

Erin I have said before how you are my American twin- we r both vet nurses, have horses, scrapbooking businesses etc. Just wanted to let you know that the same thing happened to a lot of Aussies not that long ago, when the company I had been with for 18 years also closed at short notice. However it turned out to be a wonderful opportunity for me to branch out, and I know you will thrive too. Hang in there it's going to be ok. Much love.

Erin thank you so much for letting us know your plans, I started watching your channel over a year ago when the beach layout was the first thing in the catalogue, found you and then I got with a group of ladies here In Arkansas and went on my first 4 day retreat. Your right God has a plan for all of us. Love scrapbooking and I love making memories with my family. Thank you Erin.

Thx Erin. I feel so bad for CTMH. For what it's worth I was following your channel for your work not the brand you were using. Many times I have sourced inspiration from your layouts using my stash. I will continue to follow your channel irrespective of the brand you use or promote because I love your work. Cheers up. It's the beginning of a new era for you 🥰.

I am so relieved to hear that you are going to continue sharing your talents with us! You are so much more than the products you share. I too love CTMH, but I also love products from other companies and love watching content providers who use products from multiple companies. I can’t wait to hear what you have planned!! My heart is with you as you navigate your new normal.

I was a SU demonstrator 20 years ago and then tragedy struck which ended my scrapbooking. I didn't do anything creative for the longest time but eventually started doing fine art again(I've done art my whole life). Then about 3 months ago I decided to make a collage and well one thing led to another and I pulled out all of my stamping stuff after having it packed away for many years. As you all can probably relate to, we are talking a craft store's worth of supplies. So now I'm combining my fine art skills with my scrapbook/journal skills and have so many great memories of those SU days and the relationships forged. Talk about going full circle! So even though I taught using a different company, the fundamental bonds we all share over the love of creating art and sharing it with others will always be there. The creative journey is quite unexpected sometimes. Cheers to the next chapter!

Thank you Erin for your sincere response to what must have been devastating news. I am also grateful for acknowledging that God is your foundation and your future. I have followed you for a long time and although CTMH products are A+, I follow you because your ability to teach is second to none. I look forward to new product, new designs but most of all your warm, encompassing teaching style. God Bless you as you find new direction and remain inspiring and teaching those who love you.

You are so correct, it does feel like a death. I was a consultant for 15 years and while I chose to back off and no longer teach or sell the product I am still a customer. CTMH has been a part of my life since 2005 and I am going to miss the gang.

Your videos with all your teaching elements and the quality with which you make them are awesome. They are so positive and happy and give me joy to watch. I am so sad about Close to My Heart closing--you introduced me to the products and I love them. You are so very talented with designing things--I am looking forward to many more videos. Very sad for all the other CTMH consultants too. Scrapbooking in all its many forms including card making is only going to keep growing. I look forward to watching you in the future.
