Hello Griffinites,

We hope that you’ve had a wonderful week! There are so many gorgeous cards and projects that you have sent in to the office, and we’re excited to share them with you. From thank yous for Create 8 to beautiful Christmas cards each and every one makes us feel so close to all of you. Reading the mail each week truly connects us together. We are so grateful to know you!

Come see what we received this week.

Look at the beautiful card and handmade bag that our friend Yukari sent us! She said that she enjoyed every minute of Create 8, that it warmed her heart and recharged her soul. We are so glad, Yukari!

Here is the inside of Yukari’s card.

We are in awe of Susan’s Chinese thread book. She said they were, “traditionally used to store thread, needles, paper patterns, snips of fabric, etc.”

Look at all of the amazing compartments inside!

What a magical card, Susan!

Jo Ann makes amazing easel cards, and created this lovely one from our Simply Christmas Card Kit.

Anne with an “e” sent this beautiful gift thanking us for another wonderful Create event.

Look how gorgeous her diorama card is!

Robin called Create 8 epic. She sent this beautiful Christmas card, and some photos she took at the Guo Pei exhibit. Thank you for sharing, Robin. We love how you enjoy design as much as we do!

Lilyan sent this beautiful card as a thank you for the Empress bundle she won from Create 8! She promised to pay the beauty, joy and skill forward.

This amazing card from Ruth truly lifted our spirits! She was introduced to our crafting items from one of her best friends and Griffinite, and has never looked back. Ruth received great health news recently, and we are thrilled to hear of her good report!

Thank you so much for the mail, everyone. If you would like to submit something for Fan Mail Friday, you can sent it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. We can’t wait to hear from you! If you missed this week’s AGTV show on Wednesday, you can watch the replay for it and all other shows right on our website. View the shows here!

Love,

Anna

  • Hi Anna,
    Not doing the best. In the hospital..
    Wanted to peep in. Ruth’s card is my absolute favorite! All the faces! You surfing on your Empress! I loved that during Create!
    The only creative thing I’m learning is how to swallow & then speak. But have names of those that taken extra care with me in the hospital. Love you

  • What an amazingly wonderful Fan Mail Friday! The projects and cards are fabulous! My thank you for Create and Christmas card will be delayed because of two recent surgeries. Love and love.

  • Ruth … your Woodie Wagon loaded with the whole gang is phenomenal! Love it!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    Thanks❤️

  • So much fun to see everyone’s creativity. I thought the Woodie Wagon was so ingenious. I have just used it for a card for a birthday card. It was for a car enthusiast and they just loved it. Thanks for all the ideas! Happy holidays.

  • I just loved all the projects. I especially appreciate Yukari’s work when she sends something for us to see. She is so talented. Susan’s Chinese thread book is intricately beautiful, but I’m still recovering from my first album attempt, so maybe I’ll just admire that until I’m more experienced before I even think of trying something like that.😂 And Anne’s Parisian card just transports us to Paris…it’s perfect! As always, I ‘m in awe of all the talented Anna Griffin crafters.

  • Wonderful projects and cards!
    Anna, thanks for sharing the pictures, too.

    This was a nice break from doing chores. The maid is off today; so I need to get back to it. 😃
    Everybody, enjoy the weekend!

  • I am at a loss for words. These crafters are so very talented.

    I just spent time putting together a tunnel card and I can’t imagine the time it took to create these masterpieces!

  • Love the card from Ruth – so simple and so classy! Black & Pink are my favorite color combination and ALWAYS looks crisp & elegant!!

    Thank you for all you do Anna & Merry Christmas to you & your crew!

  • Hi Anna, I emailed your customer service a note and pictures of a few AG cards sold at our Garden Club Christmas Fair. We sold all 21 cards. I hope you’ll have an Opportunity to read the email. I don’t want you to think I’m not grateful for ALL the wonderful items you gifted me. I also sent you a gift which should be arriving next week. Bless you and your team for everything you do for us. Continued success.

  • So much love and joy being shared today — how SPECIAL !! And Anna… I’m always amazed at the way you remember names and faces — you KNOW these people, even though you have met thousands of fans. What a memory! I think you remember because you really care. And that’s even MORE special. Love and hugs.

  • Wow!!! So inspired by all the incredible cards! People’s love for crafting with Anna’s beautiful products shows in every one of them!

  • All these cards make me feel like an amateur 😂 So that just makes me want to practice improving my creativity even more… Just goes to show you even a 73 years old can learn. Thank you Anna, Anna’s staff and all the people that love Anna’s Atmosphere for keeping me crafting… Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

  • ANNA,

    What did you do different, I could hear you loud and clear and didn’t have to use the CC button here:-) Of course I love all your gifts and yours is in the mail. May you be continually blessed for all you do for us! No snow in Lower Michigan but it’s on the way.
    Merry CHRISTmas Griffinites and Staff!!

  • Anna, I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the “Win It Wednesday” Holiday Home Slider Kit! I’ve been watching WIW since it’s inception and this is my first win. Of all the items ever shown, this is the one I really wanted to win and YIPPEE I did❣️

    Now for this weeks offerings, I’m absolutely amazed by the talent of your fans. I’m so inspired by both their beautiful art and hearts. They make me want to craft and be a better person…a win-win!

  • I think pretty soon you need to give our awards called “Annamees” (Like emees, oscars, grammys for card making) There is award winning projects showing up all over planet. I would watch that show. Jan Linder-Koda

  • Dear Anna,
    Thank you very much for the Christmas Impressions dies. I was so surprised to receive them and intend to use them with my Girls’ group (grades 4-8) after school on Tuesday. We will be making Christmas cards for the parish elderly and shut-ins. I can’t wait to see what they do with the tree, border piece and holly. I think they will have a great time with the dies and learning how to cut and create cards. We are a small Catholic school in the coal regions of PA and have very limited resources so I truly appreciate the set of dies with which I can encourage their creativity.
    God bless you. srnatalya

  • WOW! I am so inspired by all these cards! I wish i had the time and energy to make copies. I love Yukari’s card….i want to make it. And Susan, how i love that. Jo Ann, to remake the simple card into that beauty is awe inspiring. wow. Anne , i haven’t learned how to make a diorama card yet, but i wish i could make one as breathtaking as yours. Robin, that is so cool. And all the rest are inspiring to me. Thank you for starting out my friday with such beauty and wish i could just stop now and try to accomplish what you all do. thank you Anna and your crew for creating this site to let us all dream a little dream.
    Bless you all at this Christmas time.
