I haven't participated in a few months on My Pumpkin Challenge but I have loved seeing the great projects they have created. I haven't felt totally inspired by the paper pumpkin that has come in. Honestly I was just going to make a graduation card like the kit and be done with it but than it hit me to do a coordinating page and card to give as a gift to a upcoming graduate. I need to find a fun frame for the page.

It is both a sad time for Stampin Up because well some beloved things are retiring but the good news is that new stuff is on its way here starting June 1 when the new catalog launches. Another good thing is free shipping from April 21- 25 which means you can get some of your beloved stuff retiring shipped for free. So if anyone orders and you don't already have a demonstrator, make sure to mark me down Rebecca Benson (I sure appreciate it).

Also Project Life Products can be ordered starting May 1 and that is a cool thing as well!

I pulled the Cricut out again and have been making things like crazy with it more because I REALLY want the new Explore that just came out so I am saving my funds for it.

I made this sign using a frame I had on hand and cut out using various cartridges to make the sign.  I love how it turned out and it would be a great gift to give someone.

I have an extra special extra post today for Easter which is this weekend. I made little Bunny treat bags for Mr. L to take to class on Thursday. Are they not the cutest thing- I  love interest!

I have had this set to make placemats but I was uninspired by that so I decided instead to make a set of cute pear shaped hot pads.

I love the challenges going n over at the Technique Twist  as well as Unscripted Sketches so I used both ideas of the Modern Whimsy with the sketch here:
