Welcome Baby Alex
Here is card I made just now with the Fresh and Fun Freebie challenge layout:
I made this card to send along with the matching Jacob’s Ladder for my sweet SAM Sharie. She is due any day now. I am hoping she will have her baby boy by the time she receives my little gift. I can’t wait to see little Alex. I LOVE babies.
For both the Jacob’s Ladder as well as the card I used Big Deal Alpha and Bundle Of Joy. I inked up the letter/s with Cool Caribbean. For the Album I stamped the ink off once. I forgot that for the card. That’s why they look a bit different. Next I traced the outside of the letter with Taken with Teal marker and stamped the little dots from Bundle of Joy on the stamp. Then I stamped the letter on white cardstock.
The book itself is only covered with Petals & Paisley designer paper. I love this caribean patterned paper out of the pack. I guess that pack won’t make it into our next big catalog because of this paper. I will so stock up next month. I taped the paper on with Stampin’ Up!’s glue stick. I had it at home for a LONG time and just recently got it out. It works great with coasters and paper. I used white organdy ribbon for the Jacob’s ladder.

These colors are so great together. I love how you inked the letters then outlined them. It really looks sharp!

Your card is gorgoeus Beate. I hope your friend Sharie has her baby soon and that she and her baby are both very happy and healthy.
Happy Mother’s Day to you.

Love the dotted and outlined letters. And overlapping — why don’t I think of stuff like that? Better get mine mounted -
