Come see what crafters from all over have made and shared this week!

Gay Lynn posted, "The Flower Cart Easel Card kit makes such cheerful Mother’s Day cards!"

True words, Gay Lynn!

Jane said, "Mother's day card I crafted for my Grandma. She called as soon as it arrived to tell me she absolutely loved it. That made me feel so happy that I could craft something thoughtful for her. Anna Griffin Inc. Create 9 Photo Frame dies + flower dies + cardstock."

Lorri posted, "Happy Mother’s Day ladies! I was still in scrapbooking mode after CAH4. It took me almost 9 years, but I finally did pages for my son’s graduation. Luckily I printed the pictures before we lost them all last July."

Fifi wrote, "Love the combination of a Victorian frame with botanical flowers and vellum."

Diane shared, "I had such a great time making this card. I cut and pasted the scenery from Anna’s Seafarer Papers and the Celebration Chest Die, adding an AG birthday sentiment and red rhinestones from my bling stash. I modified the dress collar into a sailor dress because the dress itself reminded me of a dress my mom made me in my younger years. Yes, it was a big circular 50’s dress with yards of material and a poofy itchy red net petticoat underneath."

What a cute idea!

Celia posted, "Happy Mother’s Day Anna, Staff and Griffinites. I am working on scrapbook layouts using the CAH4 leftover treasures! of course I loved the kit so much that I ordered another one! Thank you Anna."

Suravi said, "I made bouquets  to celebrate Mother’s Day with my friends."

Leslie wrote, "Here's a box card I did from the Anna Griffin Box Card collection on Cricut Design Space. The flowers printed so beautifully."

Michele said, " I made a few cards yesterday for a few family members. This was my favorite."

Very pretty!

Arlene shared, "Happy Mother’s Day! This week my card is once again a Pulley Card, I used various collections from All About Her to the flowers in the Flower Shop Collection."

Jan posted, "My Sunday share is a custom ordered graduation card. Thank you to another AG member who mentioned using the patterned strip that comes with Anna's paper packs. It made the perfect belly band and signature card for the back."

Love how you customized this!

Barbara shared, "A Mother’s Day card I made for my mother-in-law. The Happy Mother’s Day sentiment is on the inside!"

Melissa shared, "Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful mommies out there  This is my Sunday share. Happy crafting everyone."

Kimberly wrote, "A very fun card to make."

Carrie posted, "I made this Mother's Day card for my beautiful Mother, using the shoe dies & used the Luxury Icon Purse Dies to make a matching purse (gift bag). My Mother loved them & THAT made me very happy!"

Mary said, "Modified a Gazebo card, to make it an easel card. I would love a real gazebo like this someday."

Sally shared, "I made this masculine layout using the green tonal card stock from the Virginia Collection from Crop at Home. The Botanical Engraving Stickers matched perfectly!"
