TCP Tuesday: Mad for Plaid Supply Challenge + Blog Hop!

I'm your TCP Tuesday challenge hostess today, and I want you to go "Mad for Plaid"! I've used some fun plaid paper from Basic Grey (Jovial 6x6 pad) to paper piece my sheep's scarf as well as a layer on my card. If you don't have a scrap of plaid paper in your stash, start thinking outside the box: be inspired by the colors in your favorite plaid pattern, or check out this plaid silhouettes tutorial by Joan Ervin.

It's not only TCP Tuesday, it's our new release blog hop, filled to the brim with goodness featuring something from each of the new stamp sets being released today along with 4 new CutUps dies as well (I've large pinking edge CutUps die on my card above). After you're done here, I want you to hop along to Jackie Pedro's blog for something sure-to-be delicious! So excited to have Jackie playing along with us today!
