Renowned for her fabulous decorative papers, Anna Griffin lends her design expertise to beautiful card and gift tag projects. Gatefolds, dimensional motifs, scalloped borders, embossed embellishments, die- cut frames, and artfully mixed and matched patterns are among the special touches that set Griffin's cards apart from others.

She’s a scrapbooking celebrity, and now Anna Griffin, the well-known designer of stationery, invitations, and decorative papers, shares her ideas and insights with all crafters. Every image in this colorful compilation was inspired by cherished family traditions and the personal stories Anna has collected from scrapbookers everywhere; and every layout features a unique technique, embellishment, and palette to make it truly celebratory. From birthday traditions (such as a beautiful “strawberry pink” cake page in honor of Anna’s mother) to family vacation postcards, there’s something special for every occasion. The many memorable moments so beautifully commemorated include Easter (tabs reveal hidden photos), weddings (with a folded pocket for keeping love letters), and New Year’s “champagne wishes.”
