  • AWESOME craftspiration! Thank you all!💃🏻🎉🤩👏🏽👏🏽

    #WEAREANNAGRIFFIN 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

  • Hi,
    As always, beautiful and great ideas. So colorful and takes me to a different world of such pretty work. Thanks.

  • Just got my ticket for Create 9 & I’m really looking forward to it. This will be my second Create. Last year I didn’t know what to expect, but it was so much fun.
    I love these projects. I haven’t had much time this summer to do much but I love going back to review everything for inspiration. Everyone is so talented.

  • Love seeing everyone’s take on these AG products. Such a creative and inspiring group!

  • The Christmas shaker really puts me in the mood for Christmas! That & cheesy Christmas in July movies on tv. Thanks to everyone for sharing. I am so inspired by the scrapbook pages! Keep up the good work!

  • Anna…thank you for selecting my Sympathy card to share with everyone and including it with so many other great designs. I made this card for a dear friend who lost her 60yo son in a tragic vehicle accident on Father’s Day. He was engaged and to marry in September. It has turned his mother’s life upside down and she is trying her best to navigate through all this as it has become so complicated. I ask everyone to keep Sharon in your prayers. Her son was a partner in her business and he did most of it so she could enjoy her semi-retirement. Her husband was recently diagnosed with dementia, so not an easy road to travel. I tried to select the prettiest papers and create a design of tranquility. The sentiments inside were of prayers to comfort her in times I’d need. May God bless her and her family🕊️🙏🏻🪽

    • Sometimes the tragedies in this world seem unbearable and not able to be understood but God is always present. Prayers for peace and strength in the days ahead for your friend, Sharon. Beautiful card

  • All the cards were beautiful and the scrapbook pages were beautiful too. Thanks everyone for sharing and inspiring me to make these cah3 pages. The cah3 is my first and I’m enjoying following the instructions for my beautiful pages.

  • Eve Yeung your cars in parade took me back to my grammar school days. About 65 years ago ,my small town in Cherokee Co. Ga. had a 4th of July parade. and each school in each community would decorate their cars and see which school would get the most cars. They didn’t win anything except bragging rights that they won. Wish we still had those car parades. I feel like I could really Annafie one. I can see the rosettes now.

    • Linda, that sounds like it was a lot of fun! I’m glad my cars triggered such good memories!

  • thank you for your products and constant inspiration. I love seeing what people do with the same dies I buy. Everyone has such a creative eye, tfs.

  • I am so glad to see the men’s dies again, I went in on HSN to order them and the where gone. I would really love to have something like those. Thank you
    Chris Taylor

  • Each card is a beautiful labor of love, and I appreciate your sharing with us; alw ays inspiring. Thanks, all!

  • Fun seeing all the designs and use of some of products from a while ago. I made a couple scrapbook pages from some older items. Will have to figure out how to post and share. Thanks everyone for sharing! 🌸

  • Beautiful cards and scrapbook pages as usual. Darling children
    on two of them. What a happy baby. I love the many ways
    you all come up with for the vintage card. It is the one easel card
    that I passed up! If the die is still available, I need to get it.
    My father always drove a Model A, and I think I can make it
    look like one.

  • Happy Thankful Thursday! I am truly thankful for Craftspiration. Card making and scrapbooking are my passions. Having the opportunity to see the ingenuity of others is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents!

    I was unable to view AGTV live yesterday; but did catch up with the video. What a beautiful array of cards. Thank you so much, Anna and team, for providing this platform for us to observe new techniques, products and, of course, the lovely you Miss Anna! Having sale prices on spectacular crafting items is just a bonus. Thank you! 😊 💖

  • I just LOVE seeing what y’all are making.

    Anna’s products are the best. When you come across a treasure from 5, 10 or even 15 years ago it will match perfectly with Anna’s products from today. A true testament to quality of her products and the brilliance of her Perfect Pallette.

    Just the other day I die cut the rest of my Kiragami cards frome Create 8. I will finish them and have at least a half dozen Christmas cards done for this year. Rewatching Create 8 is building the anticipation for Create 9.

    Your Create Events are THE BEST!!! Having been blessed to be able to attend ALL of your virtual events I can honestly say they are more wonderful than words can express. And even a techno dummy like me can even figure out how to attend.

    Happy Crafting!

  • I just put a birthday card in the mail. I made the card using all Anna. looking forward to making more cards.

  • I love everyone’s creations. Thank you so much for including one of mine. 🩷

  • Oh my! Love the babies, love the men, love the flowers, love the cars, love the shabby chic. Whatever I missed here, just loved everyone’s talent!

  • Another beautiful Thursday!
    All the crafters show us all how talented they are.
    Thanks for sharing.

  • Very nice projects. I cannot wait for Create 9, if it is anything like the others it is going to be amazing. Everyone have a great rest of your week and God bless you all.

  • I enjoyed todays shares very much!!!
    Thanks 😊 for sharing my card, “Sending Comfort and Love”, even though it wasn’t identified as mine. I cut one of Anna’s Lacy Doily Dies & placed it on adorable paper from Canton Blue, as well as using embellishments from that same kit.

  • Great work everyone. I especially liked Joyce’s Snow People. I have last year’s version and hope to get the new ones on the 25th. Mary’s card with older and newer products is very pretty and shows how Anna’s products are versatile even across the years. I have older things I’m always trying to incorporate, otherwise I can’t justify getting new things when my supplies are still pretty complete. But then Anna goes ahead and comes up with…..fill in the blank…..and I have to have it! Looking forward to all the goodies on the 25th. Happy crafting everyone 😊

  • I just love seeing what was made by others, it’s like I am at a crop and get to walk around and see what everyone else is doing and talk to them. Thank you for sharing.

  • Thank you for sharing, I love seeing everyones creativity with all of the products, especially when you mix in some oldies but goodies. I have quite a few kits I was hoarding from AG early years at CHA and I will definitely enjoy creating with them. Anna’s consistency with her color palette makes it easy to do that.

  • So beautiful! I am always inspired by all these beautiful cards and scrapbook pages. Thanks again for sharing ♥️😊
