Sabrina said, "Not a scrapbook page but these frames can definitely be used in one. My son is now 12 yrs but I made this keepsake of his first Christmas photo with Santa."
Adorable!
Fifi wrote, "The new Christmas puppies stickers are so cute that one is not enough."
Barbara shared, "My first Carte Homme card! I made this for my brother-in-law and had to include a Mickey icon at the bottom as he is going to WDW later this month. Thank-you Anna for your black adhesive foam squares as they worked perfectly under the suit lapels!"
Lu posted, "Loving the new Christmas Greetings embellishments! Happy Sunday!"
Diane said, "I am sharing a patriotic Ferris Wheel I made commemorating July 4th. Loved using the Phoebe Luxury Foils and Madison Paper Craft Kit’s cardstock & embellishments."
Shannon shared, "I am ecstatic with the Mystery Box treasures from the archives that I have received! I am moving again so I decided to organize my precious carefully curated Anna supplies into their collections. Imagine my surprise to find every Mystery Box has contained something that goes with the items I have already. The rub on sheet from the June box is now with the Sloan items that I am going to kit for a scrapbook project. I am having so much fun playing in my beautiful stash and I am so excited to create with these lovely OG items. I just can’t get enough!"
We're so glad that you are loving the Mystery Box; they are so much fun to put together!
Marie wrote, "I was inspired by Beth Turchi's 3D wing tip shoe and created this for my brother's birthday next month. Beth is such a master crafter and an inspiration!"
Heidi said, "It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. So these lovely inks from Anna were gifted to me during my first Create in person by Kay Burdette Mitchell during her stamping class at Create 4. Guess what? They are all still fresh as day one. I never used them until last night. I know gasp. I have some visions dancing in my head all day and night long to make use of all my Santa inked images. I have 200 inked Santa’s ready for their outfits and cards to be made."
Vickie shared, "Finished the simply bday kit….some of her bases were so pretty I couldn’t add layers, lol! Love this kit! Rose pattern has always been a favorite, and I love the black backgrounds, I especially love the aqua ribbon with yellow/pink roses….so cheerful!"
Barbara posted, "I completed this layout of my granddaughter. I am having fun with the paper and cutting out the squares in different ways."
Stunning layout!
Donna said, "A friend of mine lost a dear friend this week. She asked me if I would make her a sympathy card and this is what I created. Anna’s angels are so gorgeous!"
Diane said, "Lovin’ the new Mr. Claus dies It just looks like Santa is chuckling to himself wondering if he and his bag of goodies will squeeze down that chimney!"
Marcia shared, "The new 3D Birthday Greetings die is so beautiful! A pretty in pink card also using the Perfect Palette cardstock from the mystery box."
Shellie shared, "Keeping scrapbook-making in mind, I'm assembling the birthday party invitations today (3 of 6, as shown) after planning and die-cutting yesterday the 3D Unicorn die set with various florals, metallics, and foiled cardstocks. China Cabinet Flowers Stickers embellishes perfectly!My favorite so far is the 'shape card' (shown center). Using Cartouche Folders and my own computer, I made "You're invited" sentiments, as well as card Inserts with place and date information. Anna, I would like to request a set of invitation-style STAMPS or Mini Sentiment Stickers that read "Party today," "You're invited," "Please join us," 'RSVP,' and more! Thank you for getting my young grandchild's birthday party started, Anna Griffin Inc.!"
These are so cute, Shellie!
Terry wrote, "Hello Creative Friends! You Are the Cat's Meow! Today's share features these products: Madonna & Child & Garden Arch Scene Dies for the background, Trellis Album Dies for the bench, and Door Dies for the banner. Also, the new Champagne Matte Foil Cardstock, Virginia Paper Collection & Fur Baby Cat Stickers."
Wanda said, "Working on Christmas snow globes."
Patti wrote, "One of our son & Dil's wedding gifts who got married last weekend. ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR FADED ROSE COLLECTION!! One of the prettiest collections you've done Anna Griffin Inc. Inspired by pics from your project box peeks to make this!!"
So special!
Penny shared, "Still working on Christmas but planning some pages for a crop in two weeks with Donna Lee Williams and Vivian Kochis!"
Donna posted, "I have been working with the new Birthday 3D Concentric Dies and the Kitty and Dog Christmas Stickers. I made these cards for relatives who have cats and dogs that look like the ones on these cards."
Jo Ann made this gorgeous card with our new Birthday Greetings Concentric Dies.
Angela wrote, "I discovered that you can use the bookmarks for the envelopes for a hand delivered special card."
What a great idea!
Dayle shared, "The new Birthday Greetings 3D Concentric Dies are just so pretty. I used the Anna’s anniversary papers and embellishments collection for this easel card."

I just received the angels embellishments, the Christmas tree 3 die set and the poinsettias paper with the black background among other purchases.
These. Adds are certainly inspiring.
Really amazing paper art. The cards are awesome. So creative. As soon as I get my AGTV and HSN orders I’ll hop on the Christmas train. I would love to see an all occasion big box for the guys. I’d also like to see the storage boxes brought back. They make my craft room a joy to be in. Astrid, Phoebe, Virginia, Christmas Holly, or the Ivory damask would be my choices although any patterns you choose would be fine.
Thank you for sharing all these beautiful cards. They are so inspiring and assist me in doing my Christmas in July cards.
Congrats to all! Beautiful projects!!! It is truly inspiring! Terry’s card is just so adorable! I wished I could be as talented as you all are! Hopefully, one day, I’ll be able to dedicate much more time to this beautiful world of Anna Griffin….The beauty of it all fills my heart with joy…..

These are truly inspiring. I’m going to get right to work!!
