It's Release Day over at the Farm!

HELLO and WELCOME to our MAY release at The Greeting Farm!




We have LOTS to be excited about today as we have a NEW contest, NEW line of stamps now available for purchase in the store, and a NEW Guest Designer!  Please welcome again Jessie Rone, our May Guest! 


And now, it's time to welcome the following new characters to the TGF LINE!

We have another HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT for you today.   Announcing our 2nd annual "CARDS FOR A CAUSE" event!







Last year you really brought us to tears and smiles on our faces with our 1st card drive.  Due to it's success, we are rallying the troops again for a 2nd one and well, we're making it ANNUAL!  





This year, we were moved beyond measure with so many emotions for the people of Japan as we watched live video of the earthquakes and tsunami that devastated so many people on March 11, 2011.   It broke my heart to see videos of families in shelters, children looking terrified and not understanding what happened.  Some of those families lost everything and when our loyal TGF customer Natalie Shaw emailed me a link to a school that we could send in handmade encouragement cards for children, we knew this was going to be something TGF wanted to be involved in!   Our images are PERFECT to cheer up a child and we really hope you will play along!

So today I have made a card with the New Wild Sprout Elena, I thought she was perfect to put a smile on a little Girls Face. So make sure to see how you can get invloved!

  8. Your card is way too cute! I love all the elements you used on it. I could take a lesson or two from you! ;) I always seem to "underdo" it, but I really like the look of a lot of embellishments. Looks much fancier. Thanks for the great inspiration. I'm a new follower.
