Hi crafters,

This week, we are truly in awe of the talent, heart and beautiful attention to detail you bring to every single project. From thoughtful birthday and anniversary cards to the romance and charm of Valentine’s Day creations, your work radiates love, imagination and intention. Each piece is a work of art, and it fills us with such gratitude to see the stories you tell and the connections you make through paper crafting. Thank you for continually inspiring us and one another. You are the very heart of this creative community!

Let’s take a peek at the beautiful moments you’ve shared this week!

Come be inspired!

Clare said, “As a retired grade school librarian, I am so thankful for Dolly Parton and her generosity! She understands the importance of life and reading. So, when I heard she has a milestone birthday I had to make a card!”

Mary Beth said, “Putting away Christmas… and making Valentines!! I can’t seem to put away the glitter though!! Lots of dies, embossing, ephemera from throughout the years….” 

Yvonne said, “The Maryland Black-eyed SusAnnas had a craft day together yesterday and the rain did not deter us. One of the Valentine’s Day cards I made with the Harlequin Bow in red foil layered with the striped Mascara Rose and pink tonal cardstock.” [

Terry Lubinski said, “Happy Sunday Share, everyone! I’ve been using a mix and match of Anna’s card bases, dies, and flowers to go with some others supplies in my craft stash. Anna and her products ALWAYS play well with others!” 

Terry Shaver Koehler said, “I’m working on my favorite cards to make all year – Valentine’s Day! With the Post Box & Folded Kiss dies, Smitten Hearts Cut & Emboss Folders, and the Heartfelt Stickers & Paper.” 

Alice said, “This is a layout I am working on! Just need embellishments and journaling! On my To Do list for today!” 

Shellie said, “Anna, thank you for all-new Birthday Postcard Greetings~ love them, bought them! Also, thank you for weekly tutorials, helping me get Valentine cardmaking started successfully!”

Diane said, “My first Valentines Day card of the season. I used the new Concentric Heart Dies.” 

Evelyne said, “When I saw this die set being aired on members only show, I knew I had to have it. So much fun, and my recipient loved it too.” 

Kim said, “Started my Valentines cards and pulled out this Valentine Slimline Cut & Emboss Folder Set I had never used. The embossing is gorgeous! Makes a beautiful card.” 

Gaila said, “I've never shared using this avenue, but here are things I made for a friend's recent birthday. I really love the rub-ons! Thanks again for all your lovely products!” 

Sherry said, “I have recently become an empty-nester and my first act was to transform one of my son’s bedroom into my very own AG craft haven! I just love the new Smitten cardstock so this is my version of a Valentine’s wreath.” Welcome and what a sweet start!
