Hi and welcome to a new week! It's been a busy time at my house with new furniture followed by new carpet in the living room and, let me tell you, it's a lot for Rich and me to deal with. We had a little help moving furniture (why is it all so heavy these days?), but we did a lot of it on our own, too. Finally, we're a little more settled and I can get back to regular crafting!
I have fall supplies on my table and I've been playing with them as time allows. Today I brought out a previously enjoyed Cottage Cutz Fall Centerpiece set and a not-yet-used Spellbinders Pumpkin Patch 3D embossing folder from an earlier warehouse sale.
I colored all with inks and brushes and put them together on a sanded card base with textured white backing up the centerpiece. Older sentiments from my stash. Cinnamon Stickles on the sunflower centers.
I'll be sharing here:
Darlene and Diane's Four Seasons Challenge -- October, with a beautiful inspiration board.
I hope to be back here soon and I'll look forward to seeing you. Take care!

What a pretty card. Love the idea of flowers in the pumpkin. Have a great day
Fabulous Autumn card, love the beautiful sunflowers and embossing folder. Time to chill now and enjoy your new room. I am dreading when we finally get to downsize as never moved house before in 75years lol. When I left home(well climbed out of the living room window when all in bed) and moved in with John and his parents with just my clothes and am still here!!! Well just me and my Daughter now.

What a super-beautiful fall card! How fun to get new stuff! Especially when you're all settled afterwards. :-)
Glad you completed the big project. You've made a lovely card for fall, I am smitten with those wonderful colors and textures. The centerpiece is gorgeous, Leslie! I love seeing what you buy and how you combine things. You ARE a master designer!
How exciting! Furniture AND carpeting?! What fun - btw those furniture glides really work!
Your card is full of Autumn blessings and colors, Leslie! So beautiful!

I love that embossing folder, they are lovely, but I have to say that the pumpkin die is the highlight of this card. Great shading and lovely yellow flowers with a touch of brown fall leaves. Glad that you got the new furniture and it is all back in order. I agree with you that things are heavier and jars are very hard to open. What is that???
What a stunning autumn card! All the embossing and colors look so pretty! It reminded me when many years ago I would scrap out little pumpkins and fill them with some of our flowers for decoration. I feel for you and Rich. When our daughter and grandkids moved out a few years ago we had new carpeting put down and fortunately the men moved the heavy pieces but we had to put them back. I was a little more mobile then but never again!
Yay to all of the new stuff! Bet it feels good to have everything settled down now and I'll bet the pups do too! Loving this pretty filled pumpkin of yours, Leslie. It's a lovely way to say Happy Thanksgiving!
Two of my favorites all on one card, Leslie! I love that the pumpkin is serving as a holder for the beautiful sunflower! Love the embossing too and your coloring of it! I hope you can sit down and enjoy your new furniture and carpet.
I love that pumpkin patch ef Leslie...it looks fabulous next to that pumpkin filled with the lovely sunflower and greenery! Sweet, sweet card my friend, and enjoy that new furniture and carpet!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful. Love the embossing folder and of course, your sunflower is gorgeous.
Lovely Autumn card Leslie. Love all the texture and elements you used. Nice to have your living room back to normal. Enjoy!! Take care, sending hugs!
How fun to be getting new carpet and furniture! Talk about a room refresh... Anyway, your darling fall centerpiece is as sweet as can be. The ef pairs perfectly with it. a gorgeous fall card, Leslie! Time to relax and enjoy that new room. ;0)
A beautiful card for fall, reminds me of a flower farm here where they have 'fill a pumpkin', you pick flowers to fill a pumpkin. I too have this die but it is still (after more then a year) in my 'new to be used' basket, what is wrong with me?? Anyhow it is a beautifully created card with the pretty EB folder to match! Thanks too for joining our challenge at The Four Seasons. OH, and I bet the pups will love your new furniture lol, we bought new last fall and I have a bin lid on each piece so Mack will stay off, very attractive, NOT!!
This is stunning, Leslie! We don't really 'do' Fall/Autumn over here in the UK and I really enjoy seeing all the beautiful cards from my friends across the Pond. It's joyous! Jo x
