Help TGF!

* please scroll down for a sweet preview of Cheeky Howdy*

I have some very sad and bothersome news. Since the new year has started I have received an overwhelming amount of email regarding people stealing TGF images, digis, replication, etc. There have been some dishonest persons actually tracing our images and producing them on clear/red rubber as well. It's starting to be a really big terrible issue and I'm having a hard time keeping up.

So I would like to ask that if you run across someone's blog or ebay or etsy auction and you see any suspicious selling our our images, please please please let them know that you are a friend of the farm and request they stop their infringement on our copyrights. I would really honestly appreciate your help in this. Of course you can always email me regarding any copyright infringers as well. :)

Thanks everyone for looking out for us.

Love & Hugs!

Top Crop Tuesday

Hi Everyone
Farmer Tammy here to give you another great lineup for our Top Crop Tuesday.

I've been checking out the gallery all week and WOW I've found some amazing work.
I know you'll be just as inspired as I was when I saw these cards.

So let's check out this weeks Top Crop Tuesday.

This beautiful card from Jenn caught my eye right way.  I love the limited amount of card stock she's used and by adding embossing along with interesting detail of the black strip this card turned out fabulous. 

  I adore how Joy decided to go for a muted color scheme.  So soft and subtle.

This is my birthday month and oh how I'd love to have a giant cupcake!  Serena has created a fun and whimsical card.  Don't you love the added sprinkles to the cupcake icing?  Love it!

I love this card from Liloshaggymoto.  This is the kind of handy man I want around my house.   Did you notice Liloshaggymoto had also altered his shirt.  Very creative in mixing up his wardrobe.

It's always so much fun checking out The Greeting Farm Gallery.  Everyone is so creative and I've walked away with so much inspiration.  I hope you do too.

Have a fantastic day everyone.  Thanks for stopping in at the Farm.

Farm Fresh Friday goes POP!

Hi Everyone
Farmer Tammy here.  I'm so excited to welcome you to another super fun Farm Fresh Friday here at the Farm!

This week we've got a fun challenge.  This one will get those creative juices going I think. 
But before we get to this weeks challenge we are thrilled to see we had at least 40 entries in last weeks challenge!!  That means we have not 1 but 2 lucky winners this week.

Congrats to Joni Wilson ( Jonjinko ) and Awilda Rivera ( Awilda Rivera) You are last week's FFF winners of the Mystery Color Challenge 1.  You both did an amazing job and what a hard decision it was this week.  Everyone did fabulous.

Time for Top Crop Tuesday!

Hello there fellow Greeting Farm Lovers, it's Emma here with my very first post on the TGF Blog, I am sooo excited to be bringing you our Top Crop Tuesday!

I have been looking through the gallery and you wouldn't believe the amount of GORGEOUS cards there are in there, you guys sure ROCK with talent! I have picked out a few that I just loved and wanted to show you.

This first one is just Stunning! I love that color combination of red, black and white and that hair....WOW! Jessica I just love it, such an Awesome bookmark, she is definitely one Naughty Nurse...hehe!

 I have made a couple of these for my kids and they just love them!

Jessica Marin - myscrapdiary-jess.blogspot.com

This next card I was drawn to all those AMAZING Colors! Such a bright and Funky Wedding card, I just love it! Who would have thought to use our Creepers for a Wedding Card, but they sure do make a Fabulous Bride and Groom. You have done an AMAZING job Doreen!

Doreen

Ok so the last card I came across was by the Lovey Tasha. OMGosh I just loved the pastel colors that Tasha has used on this card. All that Glitter and Sparkle, simply Gorgeous! A card that any little Girl or any Girl for that matter would absolutely LOVE!

Tasha Beasley -

Well I have to say that our Gallery is always over flowing with Beautiful work, so keep uploading those GORGEOUS Creations as we are always looking to see what you guys are creating! As for me I am off to my desk to get creative, hubby has taken the older two kids to see the latest Harry Potter and so I am desperate to get back into my crafting after having two weeks off while camping, hope my mojo hasn't left me...hehe! Time will tell!
