Jumping in for some Friday fun with Power Poppy today, and a card that’s all sweetness for a brand new and beautiful baby girl we love! I’ve used the uber-sweet set, Precious Baby for the design, coloured up with Copics. Isn’t that little pea-pod baby girl adorable?
Precious friends of ours (former kids in our youth ministry) have longed to be parents for many years. I think it was about 7 years ago that I started praying for them to have a baby. They were told about 3 years ago that they had a less than a 1% chance of getting pregnant, you can imaging how very painful it was for them. But, that was not the last word! When they told us last December they were expecting a miracle baby in August we were so overjoyed! Just 4 weeks ago, this little miracle girl was born. The day I first held her was so meaningful, and I wept with joy. Saying we are grateful to God for her little life seems to not even cover it. We got to celebrate her last weekend with a baby shower, so this was her card.
And this is the little sweet pea in person. She is just beautiful!
I found some pretty peachy tones of paper and ribbon to pair with the image, added some sewing, a scalloped frame and some sweet banners.
Here’s the sentiment inside. Thanks for sharing our joy!

So happy for the couple, your card is just the sweetest for them!!
A miracle and a blessing and a beautiful card to welcome her!
Oh, Christine! What a miracle indeed and such a beautiful little sweet pea she is. God is so gracious, and I know this couple will love her dearly and raise her to be a strong woman of God. We have friends with a similar story, and they have not only their first daughter but recently twin daughters! What joy and blessing. I love your beautiful card and know that they loved it and especially loved your note inside. Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow. Hugs and love! xoxo
