Hi friends,

We certainly received a lot of wonderful mail this week! The Valentine’s Day wishes have continued to roll in, and we can feel the love. Week after week, it’s amazing to see how you create cards. Whether you customize stationery, use your Cricut to make cards, or create from scratch, it is always exciting to see your work! We really have created such a beautiful community of friends, and it a joy to see how you all connect.

Let’s take a look at today’s cards!

We love that there’s now a Texas chapter of the Annabelles! Thank you for the gorgeous card, Debbie W., Tammy S., Linda D. and Joy H. Looking forward to all of your future pretty projects!

Eve, it’s so good to hear from you! We love this gorgeous Valentine and hope that you had a Happy Valentine’s Day too!

We’re looking forward to another year of friendship and beautiful projects from you, Robert!

Pink, gold and gorgeous all over! We love the card you sent in this week, Richard.

Regina, you made such a lovely valentine! Your combination of papers, patterns, flowers and texture made us smile!

Cafe Anna is TOO cute, Joy! This creative card is adorable; it makes you want to sit here and sip coffee all day!

Wow, what a great Fan Mail Friday! If you would like to send in a card or project to be featured in Fan Mail Friday, you can send it to Anna Griffin Inc 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 Attn: Fan Mail Friday. Have a fantastic, crafty weekend!

Love,

Anna

  • As hard as I try, and after many years of Anna watching and creating…I am continually surprised at the genius of my fellow Griffinites. Remarkable, talented and generous. I’m often so jealous of their creations but it just inspires me to keep making great cards. It’s my way of spreading sunshine. It’s “my thing.”

  • I absolutely adore the Cafe Anna card! That is so ingenious. I love all the creativity and I’m always inspired by everyone’s cards!

  • Thanks to all for most creative cards ever! I always enjoy see your creations using Anna’s products.

  • The cafe card is darling!
    And the castle cards are awesome!
    Looking forward to March madness on HSN!
    Thank you Anna ?

  • There are so many talented people here who are not afraid to step out of the box to create such treasurers. I only wish I were that talentsd.

  • Dear Anna,
    I was referring to the photoed cards above in my previous comment. Didn’t realize you had many more super-gorgeous cards to show in the video. Love them and can we get kits?

  • Lots and lots of beautiful cards. Absolutely love that cafe card. Wish we could all meet there and have a coffee klatch with crafting.
    Happy Crafting!

  • Dear Anna,
    Especially love the first and last. Are there kits for them? Would love to purchase.

  • Dear Anna
    Fan mail Friday was great as always. My husband and I make dollhouses for our granddaughters and we are always looking for decorating ideas, Joy’s cafe is super fun!

  • I just love Joy’s Cafe! This is the best forum for sharing what we all make. Thanks so much Anna!

  • How precious the cards are! I truly enjoy seeing everyone’s unique designs. It is inspiring !
    Thank you fir sharing ♥️?♥️

  • Fantastic Friday Fan Mail. Loved all the gorgeous cards. Thank you Anna for sharing all your followers crafty work. It is most inspiring to say the least.

  • I would love to know how to get in touch with the Texas AnnaBelle. Your cards are beUtiful

  • Anna –
    Beautiful creations! ?? I am also glad you finally received mine. I thought it was lost at sea.?

  • What a Fan Mail Friday! Overflowing with inspiration. Now I am headed up to go play with all my goodies!!! Thank you for sharing.

  • I enjoyed all of the cards today. They were all beautiful and such talented ladies!! I am taking the finishing class and have one more card left to make!! My body won’t let me do these fast but I love doing them and watching you Anna. Thanks for sharing everything!!

  • “Oh so pretty!” as you would say Miss Anna. What a beautiful array of cards and crafts. Enjoy every bit of FMF! Very inspirational, indeed. Especially enjoyed the cafe scenery. Would love to learn how to make it. Since we have a cafe at our church, it would certainly create quite a stir! Please, will Joy be so kind as to teach us?

    Looking forward to your show next month Miss Anna!

  • Gorgeous cards again! You are so loved! Mine doesn’t compare to the others, but it shows that anyone can send you cards; they don’t have to be masterpieces. Love and love.

  • Lovely as always. Only bad thing about seeing all these beauties is wishing I could squeeze in more time to do more myself.

  • Beautiful cards! Are there any instructions for that gorgeous cafe card? It’s so perfect for my friend.

  • Wow, Joy’s card is out of this world!!! I am always amazed at how many talented people send you cards. It is an constant inspiration.

  • What an amazing Friday Fan Mail this week. Everybody did a great job with their creations. I loved the Café Card that was really amazing. All I can say everyone is so talented. Great job everybody. Have a great weekend.

  • As always, such talented folks. Inspired! Sent you a FMF this week and forgot to put postage. When it comes back, I’ll send it on. I think I was having a “brain freeze”. Mir

  • Really enjoyed todays FMF , I especially am head over heals for the Cafe card in Miniature as I am a miniaturist as well as a card maker! Love them all!

  • I wanted to share an idea with you. The beautiful cards that are sent to you are so wonderful, just begging to be shared. I make so many cards that just keep building up. I bring them over to local nursing homes and they distribute them to their patients for birthdays, feel better soon, cheerful hello, thinking of you, and so much more. They are very thankful that I drop them off and they end up being a bright spot in someone’s day.

  • Hi Anna,
    Lucky you! Beautiful work
    everyone! Loved the cafe
    card made by joy, it was
    very Inspiring! I have not
    been lucky of late trying to
    stay healthy! I made five
    Valentine’s cards, then was
    unable to do any more ?.
    I could not concentrate! It
    was so frustrating! I have
    some ideas, so hopefully I
    can get going soon ?.
    I hope you and my fellow
    Griffinites have a wonderful
    day and weekend!!!
    See you soon, ♥️ Debbie

  • Just beautiful!!! It is so nice to see the spring colors. Looking forward to the show on HSN.

  • Love all the creativity on fan mail Friday. It’s a snow day in North Carolina cold cold. Seeing all these beautiful creations helps me to pull out my Anna Griffin & get started.
    Many thanks for sharing.

  • Another FMF with such wonderful creations!!! Beautiful works of art, each and every one of them!!!??

  • Anna help. I love to make envelope liners. I need some paper to match your color palette. Card stock is too heavy. I use your liner dies and love the card with a matching liner. Print or plain would make me so happy

    Love all of your products (and I have many) !

  • So many talented crafters! Absolutely love seeing everyone’s beautiful creations. Thanks for showing my first card sent to you Anna.
    Fan mail Friday, and now the Finishing School community, are just wonderful.
    HAPPY CRAFTING EVERYONE ❣️

  • This is truly an amazing Fan Mail presentation. I am in awe of all the beautiful creations, and especially the window card cafe scene. Thank you so much Anna for sharing all of the beautiful things that people send to you. I would love to be so creative.

  • Just love all the cards from so many talented people. So excited for fan mail Friday. Love the outside cafe ❤️

  • FMF is the best day of the week. The cards are spectacular. I just love the 3-D outdoor cafe created by Joy! So clever. We need a tutorial on how to make that. Thanks for sharing, Anna.

  • Just an idea! I find it easier to use large clear shipping labels to do my text with. Because I have such terrible handwriting nobody could read it. It works great! Fran

  • Love fan mail Friday!!! So much talent; so many ideas and inspirations! I want to peculiarly thank the craft gal that used the rub on stickers on the envelope, BRILLIANT!!! I love mail art, and this most perfect idea! I am purchasing them right now. Thank you again!

  • Wow! Beautiful cards again this week! And outstanding work on the cafe’!
    Everyone of you artists who submit are my inspiration.

  • So many lovely cards! I’m in Houston and would love to be a member of the Texas Chapter of Annabelles.
