Hello everyone! I am Anna Griffin, paper personality and designer of beautiful scrapbook papers and craft products and I am thrilled to be a guest blogger for CK this week! Hopefully, you have all been busy doing fun and fabulous things this summer. I had a great vacation in Napa Valley, where I did lots of wine tasting and many luxurious spa treatments! When I’m not traveling, I’m spending my free time at home enjoying all things reality TV, like “Big Brother” and “The Bachelorette”. I hope Jilly picks the right man! But enough about travels and secret indulgences, let’s get down to crafting! Most of you know me for my love affair with florals, but we have been up to some new and exciting things lately and you might be surprised to see our newest collection, Darcey!
Darcey is an electric collection charged with geometric motifs, bringing urban sophistication to life with bold black and white patterns punctuated by lime green, ruby red and cobalt blue color ways.
The collection boasts mylar sheets that are covered in dreamy watercolor florals (what would a collection be without flowers!) and graphic chevron patterns for a fashion-forward experience. Brilliant colors mixed with floral silhouettes and clean lines give this collection its appeal.
Here’s a great layout using the 12 x 12 diecut sheets from this collection, which are a simple way to add dimension to your crafts.
And finally, here is a card using our BRAND NEW 3-D punch. These are so fun, because they literally POP of the page! 
Now that you have seen my newest collection, I am calling on five Darcey fans to win their very own 3-D bow paper punch (used on the card above). Simply leave a comment from now until Sunday, August 2 and we’ll randomly select five lucky winners, which will be posted on under the “Giveaways” tab on this blog on Tuesday, August 4. (Be sure you check back to see if your name is listed.)
As always, I hope that the world of Anna Griffin continues to inspire you. Thanks for taking the time to check out our new line and good luck!
All the best,
Anna Griffin

WOW!!!! What an amazing range. The punch is great, my minds going crazy with ideas on things use might use it on. I love, love, love the Darcey range, its bold, bright and versatile. Its so new and exciting with that wonderful feminine, floral feel that Anna always brings us. I can’t wait to get my hands on this range for some lovely portraits of my husband and me. Its go a little bit for everyone.
I’m lovin’ Darcey — it’s fresh and upbeat.
Not only is this a very cool line of papers, but what a great way to honor a friend. Love the punch, but I like the mylar sheets even more!
Wow, I love your new line! Your papers are always a top fave!

I have loved your designs since becoming addicted 5 years ago. Fun to see what you come up with next.
I love the papers you create.
Another beautiful collection, can’t wait. Your things are always gorgeous and elegant, love them. Thanks again!
There will always be uses for the classic Anna Griffin designs and now you have added a new graphic direction with Darcey. I love the contemporary twist and yet I still see your timeless style.
I love the color combination – I may try to incorporate that into some future pages. Thanks Anna!
What a great new line. So bold yet soft.
Anna – I have been a fan of your products ever since a number of years ago when a big storm in New York City snowed us in on President’s Day weekend, right after I had just purchased my first stamping kit of yours. I had nothing else to do and didn’t leave our apartment for the whole weekend. I’ve been addicted ever since, but now wish your crafting products were easier to find in Pittsburgh, PA.
Ok…You are one amazingly talented lady….all of your items are just beautiful and I look forward to seeing them in stores….
