Follow the Recipe with the Catered Crop

Catered Crop


I am thrilled to be picked as a guest chef at the Catered Crop “Follow the Recipe” link party. That means I get to be a guest chef for the new challenge. Playing with the Catered Crop "Follow-the-Recipe" linking party is easy. Here's how it works: (Copied from the Catered Crop blog)

  1. Use any of the ingredients (themes, colors, techniques, shapes, etc.) in either of my two projects shown on the Catered Crop blog. You don't have to use all the ingredients or the same brands. Just pick a few ingredients and then add your own spices to cook up something uniquely yours.
  2. Add your project using the InLinz (froggy) button and join the party.
  3. Be sure to list your recipe or tell us what ingredient you used from the sample recipe.
  4. Don't forget to link back to this post or include the "I Followed the Recipe" button on your blog.
  5. Here's your FTR18 recipe. With the combined ingredients, it's almost an anything goes challenge, so have fun!
  • Colors – primary colors like red, yellow, blue (and green), and a little brown for dirt
  • Stamps and Stickers – anything that grows from a seed, gardening, back to school, worms!
  • Patterns – circles, checked/gingham, notebook paper
  • Color Mediums – stamping ink, markers (ProMarker, Copics)
  • Embellishments – buttons, ribbon, thread/twine
  • Tools – border punch, die cut shapes, embossing plates
  • Techniques – make a bookmark, mat your panels, tie ribbons through your buttons, machine sewing
  • Theme – garden, back to school

For my project, I used these elements from the recipe:

  • Colors – yellow, blue (and green), and a little brown
  • Stamps and Stickers – anything that grows from a seed
  • Patterns – checked/gingham
  • Color Mediums –markers
  • Embellishments – buttons, thread/twine
  • Techniques – mat your panels, machine sewing
  • Theme – garden

See, it is easy and fun! I hope you will join in, follow the recipe, and link up your creation on the Catered Crop blog.

Thank you for stopping by!
