The monthly Pals Blog Hop is overflowing with great inspiration for those of us in the card-making craft, as well as inspiration to those who may be thinking about beginning to dabble in papercrafting.  There are so many blogs to visit, I chose to keep my Pals Blog Hop Post shorter this month.  However, that didn’t stop me from creating a couple different versions of the same design layout to share with you.  I just decided to save those versions for another post.

I have to admit, it wasn’t too many years ago I looked forward to the Pals Blog Hop each month admiring all the beautiful and inspiring cards.  There was a period of about a year where I took my employer up on the opportunity to ride the metro transit bus to work.  While riding to and from work on the bus, I visited so many stamping blogs via my smartphone.  All the while thinking, I wish I could do that.  And, years later, here I am giving it a go!

Now, about those other versions.  This next easel card was created using paper from the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, in colors of Night of Navy and Whisper White.  I embellished the shaker with flowers from the Botanical Builders Framelits, and finished them off with the Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

One the inside, I used the “Thank You” sentiment from the Rose Wonder stamp set and cut the frame from the Rose Garden Thinlits.

I’ve enjoyed hearing from so many of you and thank you for taking time to leave your comments.  What do you think of this version?  Which one is your favorite version so far?  Leave me some feedback below and let me know.  Then, stay tuned, tomorrow I’ll share the third and final version of this card with you.

If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to click on the Follow Me Now button to the right to subscribe to my blog.  If I can answer any questions or assist you with Stampin’ Up! products, please let me know.  I would love to assist you.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Lynn
