Hello dear friends,

Happy Fan Mail Friday day! We love ending the work week on a sweet note, and your amazing cards and letters let us do just that! Our ongoing correspondence brings us so much joy each week. Our crafting community is the absolute best! From Canton Bleu to CAH3 paper scraps, each card we received is so innovative, heartfelt and gorgeous. Thank you to everyone who reached out to us this week. You have made our day!

Buckle up buttercup, it’s time to dive into our cards and letters.

Our sweet friend Eileen said that she thinks of us when she sees beautiful flowers and unique architectural designs. She sent this beautiful card and stunning books on London and Paris in bloom!

Thalia enjoyed Crop at Home 3 and is looking forward to Create 9. She said that she would love to see a krug champagne paper collection. Adding to our requests!

Tina saved all of her precious scraps from CAH3 and made this gorgeous card. She is eagerly awaiting Create 9!

Martha called Crop at Home 3 an absolute fairytale filled with laughter, inspiration and endless fun! Thank you for the lovely card!

Canton Bleu is Kara’s favorite collection, and blue and white china makes her think of us! She wrote to thank us for all of the beautiful work that we do and for the happiness we have brought her. That’s so nice, Kara; thank you!

  • Wow! I didn’t picture Anna as a Survivor fan! I love those cards. You should be getting one from me this coming week.

  • I can’t wait to view the video on these beautiful frames. I have to complete all the projects from Create 3. Had to do Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards. I do not want to be still trying to complete the Create3 when it is time for the November event. June is the busiest month for me with several family members birthdays and mine as well. I can’t wait to see another idea Anna has to enhance our creativity. She really thinks of everything. I do not know what I would do without being able to purchase her awesome products. Thanks, Anna

  • So many beautiful cards and clever ideas! I am inspired every Friday by each fan mail submission!

  • Love the cards. Just got some of the paper I ordered, after Fathers Day I’ll have my dies out and the table full of new cards.

  • Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful mail! The cookies made me hungry. So, it’s now 1 am and I just got the last batch out of the oven. Whew!

  • Such beautiful creations. Always amazed at people’s talent. I was delighted to see the Georgianna Lane books, and as a side note there is also a New York in Bloom book. Having lived in NYC for 34yrs, and missing it terribly, the blog post today reminded me of it so I perused the pages. It was like a little trip back home. So pretty. AGTV was great today and Canton Bleu is just gorgeous. Absolutely loving all you’re doing this year. Thinking of you this Father’s Day with prayerful thoughts.

  • You must feel pretty special Anna and much loved. How fortunate you are to have such a wonderful following, and I am one of them that loves you.

  • Thank you for linking the books! So many pretty cards! Enjoy the baked goodies!

  • Such beautiful projects.
    Yes, we are ALL part of the Crafting Tribe!
    LOVED the projects in today’s Finishing School. Everything was breathtaking.
    Happy Crafting!

  • I’m enjoying the AGTV live events very much. I’m a gardener & I have spray painted my garden bistro table, benches & other metal items in purple & deep teal which is pretty with pink & lavender flowers. I love Anna’s pinks & greens but would love a paper embellishment kit in purple & teal. It would be dramatic! 💜

    • Josette, I concur with your request to Anna for paper embellishment kit in purple and teal.

  • I always enjoy seeing all of the beautiful creations sent to you on Fan Mail Friday. There are so many talented people in your life. I greatly appreciate you sharing it with us.

  • Lovely fan mail as always. Aren’t those Paris and London books from Eileen beautiful! At first I thought they were new AG journals. I have the botanical journals and they are fabulous. Blooming Paris/London/Europe journals would be fantastic! Hint hint 😊

  • I would love to go to create 9 however I can not afford the ticket. I have bought so many of your products that I have no room or money for any more now. I just had a very large dentist bill that was more then create 9 costs.

  • So nice of Eileen to gift those exquisite books. I love your beautiful top, Anna, with its colors that are my favorites in decor. Can you share where you found it ? Todays Finishing School really impressed on me that Scrapbooking is legacy making. And who better to keep the scrapbooking fires burning than Martha in Texas. Her card just speaks to her ingenuity and warmth. Thalia created a wonderful card both outside and inside, a homage to fine champagne. Kara’s Canton Bleu card is beyond sweet. I can never get enough of that FS box and CAH3. Tina really crafted the scraps into a little gem of a thank you card for CAH3; just seeing her card puts a smile on my face and happiness thinking of that perfect event. Glad to hear you get to escape to the seaside. Enjoy.

  • Loved the FMF cards today and I would love to look at those books! I’m sure there’s lots of inspiration in them. ❤️

  • FMF is fabulous today. I watched it before AGTV LIVE . Loved all the items sent to you. I apologize for not sending a FMF card. I am doing Physical Therapy for back/leg issues 3 times a week, Then I recuperate the day after P T !! Therefore not much crafting! I have been able to watch AGTV , HSN, and Martha’s scrapbooking on YT.
    Now after today’s AGTV and FMF, I am floating around in my Anna Griffin crafts thinking of all the new ways to use frames and borders. It was fun to see Donna Colucci. I treasure my meeting her and many more in Create 2019 in GA.
    Anna, I am so blown away still from the great CAH 3 products and classes. This has been the best event ever ( except for 2019 Create/Ga)
    Thank you Anna, for the friendships and fellowships with you and you community of fun, loving crafters. I am blessed to have so many friends through your crafting Events. Therefore you are blessed for developing quality products and friendships. Love, Annie/Tx

  • BEAUTIFUL AGTV LIVE TODAY!!!
    Anna, are you hiring I need a second Job!!! Hahaha!!! Your SALES this month are filling my craft room, for a summer full of crafting.
    Fan Mail is so pretty today everyone made such creative cards. And the books, I could just sit in the backyard with a glass of wine and totally enjoy them.

  • The ultimate. Trying to figure out how to make popcorn pink!

    Sound always varies on this blog…I have very good speakers but 100% is never enough. depend on captions.

  • Just finished AGTV… what a whirlwind of gorgeous and stunning projects! So many amazing techniques – can’t wait to attempt them. Congratulations to all of today’s winners. Enjoy!!

  • Survivor?? What happened to The Bachelor – or Outlander with her dream date Jamie??

  • The finishing school kits are always great. Also love all of the embellishments in every kit.

  • Anna and Team,
    So glad you received my card, because I am truly thankful for all the enjoyment you bring to all us old crafters.
    Fanmail Fridays are always fun to watch.

  • Happy Fri-Yay, everyone! How lucky are you, Anna and team, to receive such stunning works of art?!?! How lucky are we, your protégés, to have you and your products allowing us to unleash our inner creativity! Thank you. Sending wishes to all for a wonderful and blessed weekend. 😊 💖
