Come be inspired!

Diane shared, "My Sunday Share is a birthday card I made for our oldest son. I used the Summer House Cardstock & Embellishments to make this schooner. I made a treasure box for a gift card holder to slip inside the card. Fun project!"

Shellie said, "With 4 immediate family members (and, as many friends) having birthdays this month, July really is like Christmas! Today, I'm hand-delivering card no. 1 (of 5 altogether, for my beautiful granddaughter who turns 5 tomorrow--YES, I've made 5, because I can! She loves AG glim' and glam,' too!"

Terry shared, "Christmas card-making is underway in my craft room, starting with the Christmas Grace Card Making Kit and Die Set. I'm absolutely smitten with those tiny red bow embellishments!"

Kathleen said, "SundayShare - I created some of the AG antique Perfume Bottles with the AG Music Papers (using the piano keys as the border around the lid!) and the Jasmine Christmas papers! I used a variety of AG foils to really help them sparkle!! I still need to decorate them with Jasmine Christmas ephemera and some foil cut musical instruments, but making lots of progress today!!"

Diane shared, "Grace Christmas card base & sentiment with the new Poinsettia Scroll 3D Dies."

Barbara said, "The advent tags aren't just for Christmas. My friend and I used the In the Garden collection to make lovely summer tags."

Yvonne shared, "Tomorrow, July 20th, is our 52nd anniversary! I truly can't believe the blessing of this. My card to my husband is a bit on the whimsical side. I used the Baroque Die in shiny red metallic as this anniversary is referred as the Star Ruby. Madison papers since it's July and for our country's 250th anniversary celebration. There were are the 52 on a bike 'With Love' in front of us as our guide. There is an older die cut in Jasmine Lux gold foil between the frame and shadow. I added a copy of the original picture from our wedding album."

What a beautiful way to celebrate such a special milestone. Congratulations!

Lu shared, "The Poinsettia Scroll Dies are beautiful! So different from what we have had in the past. The image in the center is from a 1940's Christmas card that belonged to my husband's grandmother. Have a blessed Sunday!"

Helen said, "Just hosted Xmas In July retreat. Lots of fun projects."

How fun! We love a little Christmas magic in the middle of summer.

Tracie shared, "Working from last years AG Christmas Present, staying cool, and feeling Christmas vibes."

Gay Lynn said, "I made a very special birthday card for my father-in-law's very special birthday! Cheers to 81!"

Kelly shared, "Christmas Grace Die with the Shimmer Cardstock and Envelopes."

We are loving all that gorgeous shine!

Sandie shared, "Working on Christmas cards today."

Armanda said, "Scrapping 🥰"

Lorri shared, "July's Mystery Box arrived just in time for me to make this 2 page layout. The photos are from a boat ride we took in 2011 in Maine. The Captain is a friend so it was a nice long ride. Each of my boys got to take the helm for a few minutes. They were thrilled."

Kathleen shared, "#SundayShare - I finished organizing all of my AG Emboss and Die Cuts this week!! At the beginning of 2026, I set aside my Jasmine Box to store each month of the Mystery Box die cuts and July's Mystery Box arrived today! Just love being a part of the Anna Griffin community!! Hugs to you Angel Anna Griffin!!"

Organization can be just as satisfying as crafting! Enjoy every beautifully sorted piece.

Sharilyn shared her latest project with us, and we loved seeing another wonderful creation added to this week's gallery!

Mary shared a heartfelt story: "This week my little blind 3-year-old Beagle mix got out of the house (thankfully, he was found). I was frantic. A friend said I should call the police under the circumstances. A neighbor also assisted. I attach the two thank you cards I made. I'm sure you'll know which was which."

Your thoughtful cards are such a beautiful expression of gratitude, and we're so glad your sweet pup made it safely home.

Mary shared her pretty Tufted Rose card. We love this Members Only die so much!
