Meet Designer Anna Griffin!     Growing up in a family of artists on both sides, Anna Griffin's inclination toward graphic design is no surprise. Her talent, combined with her love of antiques, textiles and prints, has inspired her company's success and remarkable growth. Griffin launched her business back in Atlanta in 1994 by creating one-of-a-kind, handmade wedding and event invitations. The custom design and attention to detail filled a void in the wedding industry by offering a much-needed, high quality alternative to the traditional engraved invitation. In 1996, the business expanded to include a wholesale division and Griffin introduced the first imprintable invitation with a custom look. In 2001, the company launched Anna Griffin Decorative Papers, a line of beautiful papers, frames and albums for the scrapbook market. Designed exclusively for the more decerning scrapbook creator, the line immediately filled a void in the craft industry by offering consumers beautiful, high quality papers with a uniqueness all their own. The colorful botanical images coordinate with solids, stripes and tone-on-tone patterns to create beautiful pages. The product offering also includes antique die cut frames, Victorian die cuts, journaling pages, elegant satin ribbons, stickers and scrapbook albums. The line was a natural progression as Griffin's archives of images easily lend themselves to new product categories. "My line is a reflection of my passion for antiques, prints and fine textiles", reveals Griffin. "The antique botanicals can be found on the walls of my home, while the collection of French fabrics are images taken from local flea markets and my grandmother's curtains! What motivates me in design are luxurious and intricate patterns, antique textiles and florals." In addition to being the creative force behind her own products, Griffin has appeared on DIY Scrapbooking demonstrating her techniques for creating extraordinary scrapbook pages and has her own show, Elegant Paper Crafting, on QVC.   About Us | How to Scrap | Store | Contact Us © Copyright 2005 OakLeaf Acre, Ltd.
