About Griffinbell Paper Co.

Griffinbell Paper Co. is named for my two children, Griffin and Bella. I believe 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.

Oh my gosh. Thank you, Kimberly for pointing that out. I'm so embarrassed to say that I've always just saved at the default. How many years have I been submitting and evidently making a rookie mistake for that entire time? Yikes...It was wonderful to finally meet you in SF!!! Hope to see you again next year!!!

Hey Lynn, I was just admiring your handsome Modern Monogram design, and noticed it is showing at a smaller size on site than it optimally should. Did you save the longest side at 1100? Also, it was lovely to visit with you at Camp Minted!
