Now more than ever, we encourage you to be bold, be brave and share your talents with the world. You never know how your creation might brighten someone’s day, spark a new idea, or encourage a fellow crafter to try something new! Your handmade masterpiece could be just the thing someone needs to feel inspired.

Let's take a look at what was made and shared this week!

Kim shared, "Loved using the Schooner Easel Dies to create a Fathers Day card for my husband."

Lora said, "This is a birthday shaker card I made using the Anna Griffin Shaker Card Kit for my mother's birthday. It's all Anna's papers including the frame die which I had. I wanted to encircle the centre of the card  with a sort of frame using the gold matte foil. The little "pearls" on the sides are from a collection I have. The title are from the Anna's Perfect Titles Stickers. Did she like it? She loved it!"

Dayle wrote, "Love the way this wonderful die set can be used for both vertical and horizontal photos.  I am so grateful how Anna’s waterfall dies help simplify making our scrapbook pages a wonderful treasure of events in our lives and on our pages.  And just love the simply Wildflower Meadows scrapbook kit for the papers and embellishments."

Kim posted, "These cards are so fun to make!  I Love the colors and tropical vibes!!  Used the Simply Tropical Card kit."

Diane said, "The Lian cardstock and flower embellishments are so vibrant & gorgeous.  All of the new dies in each collection are to “die-for”! I enjoyed learning the technique of quilling in our Create at Home 5 event. Here’s my version of one of the cards we made in the Lian Collection."

Tom shared, "Playing with Simply Tropical this weekend, trying to get in a summery mood. It's been a long, cool Spring here in NJ. I also dug out the 2019 Tropical Papers and the earlier iteration of the Tropical cut and embossing dies."

Shannon said, "Never EVER forgotten! For those who have served and in memory of those who never made it home. Madison Collection never disappoints. My daughter Sarah insisted on having these photos during her Senior prom photo shoot several years ago. She has the biggest heart and serves at a paramedic. Thank you to all those who have served and to those that are serving now. In loving memory who served and lost their lives."

Monica wrote, "I made a 3D Fairy Scene card for my granddaughter’s bday Luisa. She will be turning five and purple is her favorite color. All Anna Griffin products."

Terry posted, "Trains and planes and automobiles, 5-year olds dreaming of wheels…"

Gay Lynn shared, "Really enjoying the Simply Tropical Card Making Kit and now in the mood for Summer!"

Laura said, "Good afternoon my Sunday Share friends! I have truly been enjoying designing with the Lian Collection cardstock and embellishments!"

Sally wrote, "I created a layout using the Simply Paisley Scrapbook kit and the Cut and Emboss Folders for the borders. I did a lot of fussy cutting for the embellishments. When I was finished I realized just how many of the techniques taught at the Crop at Home events over the past 5 years I used without realizing it. Thank you Anna for all the hard work in bringing us those wonderful events that I look forward to every year!"

Tracy posted, "This is a card I made featuring a photo I took to show my mother one of my favorite spots in which to get my steps . I kept it as flat as I could because one of the main duties of this card will be to transport a number of other photos to her . I am absolutely loving the new Paradise Cardstock and Dies and will be using all of it for many projects going forward. I actually purchased two sets of the Cardstock to make sure I don't run out!"

Lu said, "Our grandson graduated Friday. I used the school colors. We need a die set with graduation things! Have a blessed Sunday!"

As we look ahead to Father's Day, we would love to see how you are honoring the amazing dads, grandfathers and father figures in your life. Whether it’s a handsome card, a heritage scrapbook page or a creative keepsake, your projects help preserve treasured memories and celebrate the people who mean the most.
