Moxie Monday: Valentina from Anna Griffin

Hello all! Ms. Cath is currently in Key West soaking up the sun (and probably enjoying a few of her favie umbrella drinks) while the rest of us at Paper Crafts are holding down the fort. While I’d love to be someplace exotic and warm, I don’t have too many complaints. In fact, I’m thrilled to be chatting it up with you on the Moxie Fab World blog today.

You know what else gets me pretty excited? Valentine’s Day. Yep, I love this time of year and the rich colors that fill the department store aisles, the delicious candy (heart-shaped Snickers…need I say more?), and the excuse it gives us to express our affection for all the special people in our lives.

If that isn’t enough to love I’ve got one more thing: the Valentina collection from Anna Griffin. This beautiful collection of papery goodness is perfect for love cards, but it's also classic enough to work for anniversary, wedding, thank you, hello, and baby cards. But don’t take my word for it…check it out for yourself:




















Am I right, or am I right? This is one moxie fab collection for sure! If you’d like a chance to play with some Valentina of your own, leave me a comment by midnight MST on Sunday, February 14 letting me know which paper you like best and why and Cath will randomly select two lucky winners!

Wishing you a moxie fab Valentine’s Day,

~Brandy

P.S. If you’re looking for a little more trendy inspiration check out this link for an assortment of projects that use this uber cute collection.
