CATERED CROP RECIPE SWAP......

Hello stampin' friends!!!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far? I'm recuperating from a stomach issue, but happy to say that I'm feeling much better!

I've been meaning to tell you about the current CATERED CROP - NEW AGAIN RECIPE SWAP....

For this challenge just raid your paper stash for anything you think needs a resurgence....don’t limit yourself - just grab anything from your stash that you think might feel a little neglected and give it some new-found love!!!

I decided to dig out some of my SU Silver Label Holder from way back, along with a retired Flourishes Set and some retired SU Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Paper and Design Paper. 

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN PLAY ALONG......

• Include a link to us at Catered Crop or add our button, which you can grab on our sidebar or at our {button gallery}. 
• Link up and link often, but be sure you link up by 8:00 PM EST on Saturday, September 13. 
• In honor of the Splitcoast Stampers thread that started this all you can also upload your project to the Splitcoast Stampers gallery with the keyword *NEWAGAIN*. 
• Keep the party hopping by visiting the other players and leaving comments. 
• Check back with us on September 14 to see if you've won an opportunity to be a guest designer. 
• Our fabulous designers will be back TOMORROW - Sunday, September 7, with their creations. Please don't forget to swing by the CATERED CROP BLOG to see them!!!! 

Here’s a Pinterest Board of suggestions for supplies and tools that might need some new found love: Everything Old is New Again....... 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll see you again on Tuesday! Until then..
