By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 61

Hi friends,

Happy Friday to each of you! We hope that you have had a great week, and we are excited to catch up with you today. From birthday cards and thank you notes to Halloween cards and more, there are a lot of gorgeous cards right here on the table today. Thank you all for joining us during our AGTV show this past Wednesday. Getting started on fall and Halloween crafting was so much fun, and so is the Fun Fall Sale that we are having to go along with it, now through August 20th! Fan Mail Friday is always a great place to look for crafting ideas, and this week’s projects are sure to inspire you.

Come see what was sent to our office!

Seeing the love and friendship between the TEX-Annas brings us so much joy! The way that you came together to craft and the community you have created is truly beautiful in the making. Thank you Eve for sending this spectacular shop project featuring you, Martha, Pamela, Roncia, Tracy, Ana, Marion, Sherri, Donna, Annie and Deena.

Look at these lovely ladies!

These smiles say it all!

A photo book with pictures of women in hats and dresses.

Barbie created the most incredible Desert Blooms and Flower Shoppe! Oh Barbie, it is just stunning! The way that you used the Birthday Wishes 3D Concentric Dies was genius! Your storefront with the Flower Shop Dies is too beautiful for words. Thank you so much for making such a special project!

How cute is Valerie’s card using the Holiday Mailbox Dies? That must be our mailbox with the 99 on it! Thank you for such a beautiful card, friend.

Celia’s shaped card is perfect for birthdays. Love this pretty pink truck!

Lynn wrote the nicest note in her pretty Rococo card and sent wishes for a year filled with love and happiness. Back at you, Lynn! We are thinking of you and your family, and we are glad that you love our crafting community.

Vicki won the Christmas Kitsch Papercrafting Kit from our AGTV show, and sent these lovely cards as a thank you. It is so much fun to see this blast from the past on the left, and to see how your wonderful crafting has evolved with us on the right!

Your fantastic cards, letters and projects bring so much happiness. We love nothing more than connecting with our people and catching up each week. Thank you for being so generous with us! If you would like to send something to the office for Fan Mail Friday, you can mail it to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 (just like Valerie’s card!). Next week is going to be a big crafting week! On Tuesday, August 22nd we are on HSN for the Falloween Crafting Event. Our hours are 9am, 10am, 6pm and 10pm; we hope that you will join us! Expect a shopping list on Monday with all available links and our last round of winners! On Friday, August 25th we are on TSC in Canada at 12pm. There will be a blog post on Wednesday along with a shopping list for the show.

Xoxo,

Anna

  • What creativity so inspiring on how to layer and the concentric dyes are the best!

  • Of all things you do there at Anna Griffin (INK) Fan Mail Friday is my favorite. Because #1 it shows off AG’s ingenuity and #2 because it shows off EVERYBODY else’s imagination and constructivity! You should call it the “House of Awesomeness”! Thanks, all of you.

  • Happy Birthday Month Anna!❤️💕🎉💐🥳🍾😘🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎈😇🤗❤️💕🎈🥳
    I love all the beautiful cards! I just can’t believe how many creative people there are.
    I know you, your team and your products help to make these beautiful treasures!

  • It’s amazing to me how talented people are at putting the patterns and colors that work so well together. I love seeing the fan mail and the posted projects and cards

  • OMG! Loving the Flower Shoppe die!!! How beautiful! And I am so excited about the fall releases. I would fill my Anna Griffin decorated Halloween gift bags with my favorite Halloween chocolates for guests to my seasonal parties!!

  • Wow!!! These cards leave me speechless they are so awesome. Everyone outdid themselves and it is so encouraging! Go ladies. Can’t wait until I get my Fall colors delivery. I prepared a lot for Halloween and Fall of what I had left from previous years with you, but I love all the new products you made for Fall & Halloween

  • I know I say WOW every time, but OH MY WORD, WOW!!! I would love to be part of a Griffinite group like the TEX-Anna’s, or any Griffinite group as far as that goes!!!! That was a great memento of their special Create9 event together. The pink floral jacket would be a great find in real life! So much creativity and happiness abounds by using your products Anna. Thank you so much for sharing and receiving the love that is certainly with everyone who crafts and shares Anna Griffin style!

  • Remarkable cards! My favorite was Vivienne’s (Vivian?) Couldn’t find the spelling. It was so beautiful and sophisticated

  • I am amazed at the gorgeous cards sent in. They show so much talent as well as love and joy in their crafting. What a wonderful community. 💕

  • Wow! Wow! Wow! Everyone is knocking my socks off and I don’t even wear socks! Gorgeous!

  • Oh wow, great fan mail day. Love the creativity of everyone. Thanks always for sharing.

  • The Griffinites outdid themselves today. Everything is lovely. A big shout out to the TexAnnas for such a display. The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You. “Hook Um”

  • Wow, that was a fun FMF. I enjoy seeing elements in the cards that I own and like seeing how they interpret and use them in their own unique way. Same dies but totally different card results. I am on board with that Floral Jacket idea for us fans. We’d be able to recognize each other when we’re out and about. Anna is so gracious and the warmth just radiates from her. Finding AG, the products, blog and community was one of the best things to happen. Thanks for sharing everyone 🙂

  • What a wonderful set of cards from the Tex-Annas 🫶🏼 These ladies take it to a whole new level. As Martha would say, “And why not?” I sure love this enthusiasm for all things Anna. Thanks y’all for sharing.

  • The Cards are just beautiful!! Thankyou Anna for such wonderful Products. We can expand our minds to create really wonderful cards!!!!!

  • Every time I think it couldn’t get better, it does!

  • Thanks Anna, I really enjoy FMF, 😉 seeing all the beautiful cards you receive.

  • All are lovely!!!! Such a treat to see others’ cards and craft projects and a great appreciation to Anna for sharing her bounty of treasures. Oh, I am so blessed to have a wonderful group of “new” friends who enjoy crafting as much as I do.

  • Hi Anna! I always have breakfast with you (on the Blog) and thoroughly enjoy Preview Mondays, Tutorial Tuesdays, Win It Wednesdays, Craftspiration Thursdays, but my all time favorite has always been Fan Mail Fridays!
