Today's card is a rare no-stamping card for me. I can't remember the last time I made a card without at least some stamping. But this was an early morning creation where I was trying to be super quiet and not wake the boys, so I just pulled out a paper pad and the coordinating ephemera and got to layering.
The Prima Pumpkin and Spice collection was a don't even think about it, just add to cart purchase for me. I love fall, I love Prima, and I love shabby chic. But since most of my design teams moved into Christmas in September, this poor paper pad has just been sitting on the shelf unused! Determined to use it, I picked a few papers, cut them to size, matted with white cardstock and then distressed the edges. I then chose some of the coordinating ephemera pieces to layer behind the focal panel, distressing the edges a bit as well and adding a few stickles accents. Then It was just a matter of gluing it all together, adding a seam binding bow and voila... a no stamping card is born.
Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see what you create!

Love this card with the distressed edges and the sentiment is perfect.
So happy to find you again. I started collecting your sketches in 2011 and had to step away from card making for a while after a few years. Career and family. Was ecstatic to find you again. Have you ever published a booklet with your wonderful layouts?
Great sketch as always Julee and beautiful card too - I always struggle with the vintage look!
