Hello and Happy Friday to you all!
{Delighted that this was chosen Winner at The Shabby Tea Room on 10/21/13}
I have hoarded these crochet mats from my friend Jessi forever, so I decided that letting them stay in my drawer wasn't going to make anyone happy. However, I may leave the rest in there until I can come to terms using another. *sigh* Aren't they gorgeous. She makes these by hand. I added a piece of orange and cream patterned paper to the center to be a pretty backdrops for the pumpkins. One pumpkin was a die-cut and the other I created.

I am behind in fall creating lately, so I took a prompt from The Shabby Tea Room to give me some inspiration. I am going to keep this brief as possible today! Lots on the to-do list, so if you have any questions you can email me or leave a comment at any time.
I used some pretty fall papers and added a length of lace trim at the top. A double bow created using pumpkin ribbon from my "antique" stash was added for a decorative touch along with some sunflowers and green leaves. The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties - Occasions stamp set.
As mentioned, I am joining at: The Shabby Tea Room - Fall. We were asked to: INCLUDE A FALL THEME, PUMPKINS AND A STAMPED SENTIMENT!

Pretty textured layers Tammy! Your card is warm and oozes fall!
The crocheted lace is really very pretty ( I can see why you saved it) and the different embossing for the pumpkins is a super idea. I wouldn't have thought of it this time next year. Great colors and layout make this a really special harvest card. Our Canadian Thanksgiving has just past and we are so blessed to see this beautiful work of art, as well as being very thankful for your past posts.
