fresh & fun

I made another Jacob’s Ladder for one of my downline. She is expecting a baby girl in July. They aren’t 100% sure what they will name her, so I didn’t add a name to the front.

I love making those little books. They are so much fun to make. For this one I stamped the baby carriage from last year’s hostess set Oh My Word in pretty in pink on Shimmery white cardstock.  The next layer is Rose red, the following Pretty in Pink stamped with the Aida Background. Before adding the last layer of Rose Red cardstock I tied white organdy ribbon around the layered image.

All coasters were covered with the pink multi colored polka dot paper from Petals & Paisley Designer paper. I glued them on with Stampin’ Up!’s glue stick and sanded the edges with a sanding block.

I added a faux stitching around the last layer of the Rose red to make it look softer. I stamped precious Moments from Expressive Flexible Phrases on shimmery white cardstock in Rose red and punched it out with the  1 1/4″ circle punch. I stamped the heart from A-Z accents over it in Pretty in Pink. Then I added a dotted border on the outside of the white cardstock and taped it on a 1 3/8″ Rose Red Circle.

I added a 3 1/2″ Rose Red layer on all covered coasters and used white organdy ribbon to make the Jacob ladder. Now Maria will just have to add photos of her soon to be born baby girl and it will be done!
