Griffinbell Studio is named for my two children, Griffin and Bella. I am a part-time stationery designer, part-time freelance graphic designer, part-time fitness instructor, and full-time mom. I draw inspiration from everything around me which translates into an eclectic style of graphics. Good design should spark an emotional response. Whether I'm working on a wedding invitation or birth announcement, I try to infuse every piece with a sense of joy.

Dear Customer,
From,
Please write a short statement about where you call home and what inspires you as an artist. (Limited to 275 characters or less). This note will be displayed to customers on the product details page of your art prints on the Minted website.
Sample: Annie Clark approaches her art with a graphic designer's eye. A long-time resident of the Mission in San Francisco, she is constantly inspired by the diverse color and texture of her neighborhood.
Lynn Knipe resides in Encinitas, California, a quaint and sleepy beach community. She draws inspiration from her surroundings, her travels, and her collection of art and graphic design books. She lives with her husband, son, daughter, two cats and a dog.
Please write a short note to customers who purchase your art prints. Every Minted Art Print will come with a special folded card that includes your picture and a thank you from the artist, adding a special personal touch that helps customers remember you and your artwork. This is separate from the Thank You Note above and is important to position the art piece as a high-end piece with credibility.
To help us prepare your special card, please make sure that the image of you on the site is a photograph, not a logo, and please draft a thank you note to customers, limiting yourself to 150 characters. No words will be added to your statement, so your statement should be written in its entirety, including your name. Please do not include your contact info or a URL. This information could create confusion for follow-up customer service.
Sample: Hello! I am so honored you chose my artwork to hang in your home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have in making it. Best to you, Annie

Hi Lynn- Thanks for your feedback on my lovestruck design. I scaled down the size of the dots on the backer (now I'm wondering if you meant the opacity?) and made them white instead of red, also added a sage green option too. If you get a minute, will you take a look at the options posted and let me know what you think? Thanks :)
Hi, Lynn! Thanks so much for your comment on my Love Connection bunting. I've scaled down the lines on teh backer just a little (75%) - I'd appreciate your opinion on whether that's enough if you have a minute. THANKS!!!
Hi Lynn, thanks for your comment on my Gimme Shelter design! The seat texture is actually a scan of one of my shirts!

Hi Lynn - Thanks so much for your feedback on my designs! Wondering if you would take a look at my current color scheme for my joy, peace, hope design? I've tried several variations and like the current colors but not sure if they are too much. Love your work and read your profile today. So cute that GriffinBell is a combo of your kids' names. I have a nephew named Griffin and they live in Encinitas too! Such a cool area. :) Monica

Great week for you, made the blog and received first place! congrats on a much-deserved win!
Another much-deserved win! Congrats, Lynn :)
Oh my goodness! Congrats to you too, Lynn (I knew it!!!) :)
I've always been a fan of yours, but your "Pastoral Noel" gift tag has one of the highest scores I've ever seen on Minted! Crossing my fingers for a big win for you. :)
Hi Lynn :) I just signed up with minted, and I have to say your designs are absolutely inspiring to a newbie like me! Keep up the beautiful work!
I thought for sure they'd announce it today! I guess that was just a teaser :)
Lynn!!! I just saw your "Pastoral Noel" gift tag in the top 10 highest scoring designs on the Leaderboard... I know they haven't announced the gift tag winners yet, but I'll bet that means it's the winner (I hope so - it's soo gorgeous and deserving). I'm guessing we're going to see the results very soon - but congrats to you in advance, and wow on having THREE designs in the top ten highest scoring on the Leaderboard - that is awesome!
Hi Lynn, Looking at your designs gives me a happy feeling. Every challenge I have looked forward to seeing what you will create. Good luck with Head Over Heels, you have awesome submissions.
Hi Lynn! I know this is a bit delayed, but I Just wanted to say congrats for your win for "Harmony." I especially love the illustration on the cover! :o)
thanks for the warm welcome:) i really like your work:)))
Thanks so much for your comment on my robots invitation. I'm such a big fan of your work it made my day when I got your comment :) I also added a new version and would love your thoughts if you get the chance.
Also, I meant to add I'm thrilled you'd like it for your family! Plus, your wedding invites are gorgeous :)
Thanks so much! I'm really excited about it. I remember looking through a crate and barrel catalog before I designed and thinking that people may like bright bold colors!
Congrats on your 1st place win! Love that design!

Thanks so much!!! The owning the market on hot air balloons comment gave me a little chuckle...great comeback. I love your work and am now your newest fan!!!

You are a truly gifted designer!!!
Super exciting news on your win!!! Big time congrats!!! In coming to your page to send you this message, I just noticed your hot save the date "away" design. It is amazing! I'm a little embarrassed now as actually submitted a ballon design for the current challenge having no idea about yours. Yours is soooooo handsome, striking and wonderful!!! Yikes...I guess these things happen from time to time.
Thanks, Lynn (and your daughter!) for your nice comment. :-)
