Fan Mail Friday – Crafting Family
Hello friends,
We have had quite the busy week, and we are so happy to connect with you today! Fan Mail Friday is the perfect time to catch up on all of the things happening in your lives. Thanks for continuing to inspire us with your heartfelt letters and beautiful cards!
We hope that you will participate with us on our National Craft Month challenges throughout the month on our Facebook page. This week, the focus is gratitude! Show us a photo of your gratitude project, tag the person that is receiving your card and tell us why you are grateful for them. It’s a fun way to be creative and show appreciation for those near and dear to you!
Come see today’s wonderful fan mail!
It’s so good to hear from Wendy! Wendy attended Create 7 and made a friend in fellow crafter Leigh Jean. Leigh Jean shared her large Empress plates, and helped Wendy to make 6 ribbon bound journals for Christmas. Wendy, thank you for sharing your story of kindness and friendship! The hashtag that she used during the event and on this card is #WeAreAnnaGriffin.
Check out this blast from the past from Teresa! She has had this paper saved for almost 20 years. As Teresa says, “It’s time to laugh and have fun!”
We’re lucky to know you, Sue! We love the way that you combined the green plaid papers, gold foil embellishments, shamrocks and more!
Craft Day is like the Super Bowl for Valerie! She loves our product previews, products and card ideas. We can’t wait to see how you use those amazing Clock Dies!
Take a look at Edyne’s lovely violet card. Her cards feature violets, and violets mean loyalty, modesty and humility. They are also the February flower! Edyne was inspired by Cindy by the Sea to create something every month for Fan Mail Friday.
Barbie sent this lovely thank you card! She is working on birthday cards, Christmas card and her junk journal from Create 7.
Raeanne wants to wish us a fabulous National Craft Month! What a pretty and inventive card! We hope that you have a beautiful and creative month.
We love being able to host crafting events for you to participate in and get to know one another. If you are looking for our next incredible event, we hope that you will join us for Create Crop at Home 2! It’s going to be 3 days of learning, crafting and creating with each other May 13th- 15th with the most amazing crafting products- made just for the event! Here is a little more about the scrapbooking event of the year!
It really is so wonderful to have you all as our crafting family. Want to keep in touch and share in our love of creating? Send your cards and paper projects to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. We can’t wait to hear from you!
Love,
Anna

What a perfect sentiment to describe Anna. 🙂
Thank you for the beautiful ideas and inspiration.
Beautiful. Please consider me for “Win It Wednesday” Thanks
I love to see all the cards — all beautiful and an inspiration to me to make some. Thank you everyone for sharing!!!
Love all of the beautiful cards. The purple card stands out. I had not thought of using purple for my cards. Thanks for the great ideas presented.
The creativity is just fantastic! Thank you all for sharing.
Beautiful display of cards! Fans of Anna Griffin are outstanding!
Love Raeanne’s card for cleaverness. I don’t usually copy anyone else’s cards, but would love to use her’s as inspiration. I thought it was clever with great use of color and shape.
All the cards are beautiful!
Happy Craft Month to all.
Such a great community here.
Love them all.
All of these cards are so pretty.
Way to go team Anna!! 😁 I am loving your inspiration!! Happy craft month!!
Lovely makes! I too have papers from years ago. My favorite is She’s card. L.U.C.K. Living Under Christ’s Kindness is what a third grader told me luck is.
Thank you for showing us all these beautiful cards with wonderful ideas and inspiration
Love fan mail Friday..so many beautiful things❤️❤️
What clever creations!
First of all I get silly giddy when I have a card on Fan Mail Friday! But to have it featured in the individual shots… I think I am going to faint! Not really, but close! Do all you famous Griffinites feel the same? I have been a fan of FMF for more than 3 years and I love seeing all the inspiring creations! Thanks for having such a fun outlet for us to watch.
As Anna would say “beautiful in the making” 😆
Have a good day all.
Hello Anna,
You comment struck a cord with me — that is about having paper for almost 20 years. I did not know there could be someone out there who hoards paper the way I do. I have been watching you since you were first on QVC and have some of your very first products, including paper. The paper Teresa hung on to is so pretty and versatile. And I really like on design on the front of the card. Thank you for sharing, Anna. You and your staff are the best.

Such beautiful cards.
Certainly an inspiring Fan Mail Friday,love the purple card. Good Job fans!😁
Love FMF! Tfs, all those loving sentiments as well as their beautiful cards. I just finished my St. Patrick’s day cards and on to Easter. But loved seeing SP in their, love all the card stock you made for us and all the goodies.
Beautiful cards this week. Great inspiration too.
I love that Raeanne made a Happy National Craft Month card….who would’ve thought?! Obviously not too many of us, so kudos to her for celebrating the obvious, and not to mention, most fulfilling of months! Great job everyone ☺️
Happy Fri-Yay!! All of your Griffinites provide us with such beautiful inspiration. I appreciate all of them for getting my creative juices going. Thank you everyone, and Anna, for sharing!
Have a wonderful weekend 😀
Another awesome FMF! Gorgeous cards!
It was a smaller but great FMF today. I loved the letters and cards, especially the comment about the March Crafting Super Bowl and how she prepared for it. Each one was unique and heartfelt. I am inspired to send a FMF card soon, Anna. Maybe not as creative but will be heartfelt.
Just got all my goodies from the private sale and wow did I order alot…lol
I hoping to get started on some scrapbooking projects soon!
All the projects today are lovely.
Nice cards. I was so excited to order some of your new products like the Crosses, Basket Dies, Cake Easel Card Dies, the 12 x 12 Double Sided Cardstock, Petal & Leaf 6 x 8 Cardstock and the Matte Foil Cardstock Layers ll And the Easter Egg Cut & Emboss Dies, I even went back on the day after HSN Craft Day and ordered the Auto Ship of the 3D Baroque Frame Dies and a Birthday Gift for a friend in the China Cabinet Finishing School Craft Box. She will love it as I did. And I also decided on the Clock Dies after seeing your examples on HSN. I feel as if it will be Christmas all over again when I get these shipped by UPS. Love your products and the easiness of the way they cut out so beautifully in the Empress.
I love seeing signs of spring in all these beautiful cards…very uplifting!

Wonderful ideas!
Once again so many lovely cards!! I would love to know where to find the tea cup and tea pot dies or embellishments! I meet with a group of ladies for Bible study, crocheting at the Smith-Byrd House Bed and Breakfast and Tea Room! I have been wanting to make cards for the ladies and I want to make a thank card for the owners because they open only for us on Tuesday mornings.

I see the tea pot is part of the tea party die set on this Anna griffin under shop.
Anna:
Liked all the cards, they were bright and full of joy.
I loved the verse inside Reanne’s card. I need to remind myself not to be so judgemental
about my cards.
Have a safe weekend. Enjoy.

I love seeing all these pretty designs!
Love the St Patrick’s card. Its is my granddaughter’s 15th birthday and her name is Ireland.
Gives me some ideas for her card
I always love Fan Mail Friday! It seems to bring all of us closer to you and all the other crafters. Today’s mail is so beautiful and inspirational. 🥰
I responded with my Gratitude picture and story of why I gave my card to my friend Susan but I am not sure that you saw it. I posted it a day later. 🙂
I am grateful for this lovely email and the beautiful projects that are shown.
Bobby’s card is absolutely beautiful and certainly an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
