Blanket Plaid

Hello Friends. Today I'm sharing one last "Ocotober Plaid" post. I call today's pattern, "blanket plaid" because it reminds me of a warm and cozy throw you might snuggle up under on a cold winter evening.

Here's how I created this design:

• Traced a double wide line of brown down a piece of kraft card stock
• Traced three thin lines of teal and then repeated step one
• Turned my cardstock 90 degrees 
• Traced a double wide line of teal
• Traced three thin lines of brown

I couldn't decide which style to use with this plaid -- rustic, classy, vintage???? I finally decided to do a "dressed up" plaid  with some pretty Petaloo flowers and scalloped edging.

Supplies used on this card:

• Markers
• Scallop Basic Edges 2 (My Favorite Things)
• All things are possible stamp set (Heartfelt Creations)
• Meadowbird Branch die set (Memory Box)
• Teastained Teal Flowers (Petaloo)
• Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink (Ranger)
• Burlap String 

There's still one week left to enter the October Challenge so be sure to stop by our Current Challenge and link up any project that includes a product or two from one of the companies Cropstop carries in the store. Remember if you link up something that includes a plaid element your name will be entered twice in the random drawing for a prize!

Challenge #27 - Stitching

This week's challenge is from VickiR and is a stitching challenge.
Here is what Vicki says... "I love stitching on my cards and layouts, although I don't often feel like setting up the sewing machine. So, or should I say, "sew", get out that machine, embroidery floss, or whatever you use for stitching on your projects and show us what you can do!"

Please post your project to the February Weekly Challenge Album by Thursday, March 5th (with challenge #27 as part of the title), in order to be eligible for the Monthly Random Drawing on March 6th.

Remember, every entry gives you another chance to win in the Monthly Draw on March 6th.
