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.
