We alll have our own personal favourites when we take time to be creative, sometimes we love a particular product it seems impossible to live without it.
With the wonderful range of products CLOSE TO MY HEART BRING into your home, which products now are your firm favourite, it could be one of their lovely colours from their inkpad range. A particular paper packet, embellishements like brads or maybe its the versatile MY Acrylix Stamp sets which come in the lovely envelope opaque cases.
For me stamping with My Acrylix is a newer concept and i tend to take more time and care with the clear stamps when inking them up but the results are great and usually my artwork comes together nicely so my favourite CTMH product is the visability of clear stamps and i just cannot live without the matching paper packet to stamp set its like the perfect partners one may need the other or visa versa .
Positive posts are most welcome and if you are a CLOSE TO MY HEART consultant PLEASE share your experience with products and what are your favourites. if you are not a CLOSE TO MY HEART consultant no worries feel free to post and say what is your favourite or even favourites the more the merrier so to speak.

I love the level one kits b/c you can whip out great looking layouts in no time! and still have some extra paper left over for more intricate layouts or cards!
thanks Dianne for the post glad you mentioned that Close To my heart do cater for cardmakers as well as focus on scrapbookers .Some people feel they are only a scrapbook company which is not true, i love the level 2 papers and i use them with my stamping to make various card styles.
regards Andrew
My favorite thing about CTMH is the array colors and that the colors go together so well. I really like knowing that the patterned paper is going to coordinate perfectly with the matching cardstock, ink, marker, and various embellishments.
Love the stamps for their ease of use. I also love the My Reflections Level 2 kits as they're so easy to work with due to the coordination. Not long ago my friend who went on the CTMH Mediterreanen cruise with me picked up some non-CTMH papers that had things like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, etc. on them. I had forgotten what a struggle it can be some times to make papers go together when they're not in kit form. UGH!! Give me our kits anyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Level 2 paper, another vote for the texture tools, and the ink. Works great on rubber stamps, but also works fabulously on ALL my clear stamps. My only complaint is the ink pad container. But the colors make up for it.

Hello, I am a lurker (as evidenced by this is my first post ). But my favorite product of CTMH are their how to books. Any of them. Reflections, Cherish, Imagine, Originals, or Wishes. They have saved me so much time, especially the scrapbooking line. If I had a fire in my craft room and could only save a few things, they would be the first I would grab (ok except for my CTMH stamp pads and tower - I have alot of money invested there ;) ).
Oh bless you sthoeny the Originals along with the new Wishes are brilliant arnt they how genious to take one template and turn it around 4 times to make 4 cards with 4 angles and 4 different colour schemes and i could go on thats the genious of Jeannette Lynton.
she created everything to share from the heart and with much love too. The originals has been revamped in 2008 and i have just obtained from America a used copy of the 2001 originals i cannot wait for it to arrive. Monday cannot come quick enough its stuck at the post office depot but will be mine soon.
Another vote for the how-to books, my copy of Wishes has not left my tabel since it got here. I also love the stamp pad design, my pad & marker tower & I will be getting the tote for it. The level 2 paper packs, Varanda is my current fav, the distressing kit, the acrylic blocks are the BEST ever, the stamps ROCK, ok well just the entire catalog lol
I'm going to be signing up as a consultant when the summer catalog comes out, if I can wait that long lol but I want to wait until after school is out for the summer lol
Missourigirl good for you sounds lie you really love CTMH and you are very happy too. So glad you like the wishes and that is a good idea to let everyone know if you have a copy of WISHES keep at close quaters if you can, that way it will be loved and used and become a special part of yourself , because we all create and style differently.
I am sure we all love the stamps or we wouldn't be here but I am curious what are your go to stamp sets, the ones you use all of the time and will never part with.
thanks,
Sandy

My favorite all time stamp set is Friendship Blessings. I do alot of random stamping, and making my own background pages with it. I absolutely love doodles and flowers, and with 3 girls, its easy to use.
For cards, my favorite set is For Every Occasion.
Love the idea books, page kits and stamps, in that order. As far as acrylic stamps, their quality is unmatched. Their images..not so much. Still a great many things to buy from in their catty!
I am not sure I have a favorite set at this point that is why I asked. I have just really started becoming obsessed with ctmh in the last 6 nmonths. Have been buying mostly seasonal stamp sets and those with little kid stamps. Looking to add some sets that can be used for everything to my collection. Am in a monthly club and it will end when the new catty comes out and I am going to sign up. Can't wait.

My absolute most favorite thing that CTMH ever produced is the stubble tool from the texture tool set! I don't really use the others that much, but that one sees A LOT of ink! I also use their acrylic blocks over any other brand, and like the Block Buddies so I don't need a Stamp-a-ma-jig (I'm sorta challenged that way...) Do they still make them? Anyway - there's that... My fave stamp sets are the background/border ones - I have most, if not all, of them. Their sentiments are beautiful, too...
I love both the level 1 and level 2 paper packs. If I really like a kit(like Emporium), I buy both the 1 and 2 so I can mix and match and get a lot of layouts/cards done. Next to Emporium, my favorite is Boom-Di-Ada. The colors are fabulous!
