Turkey/Bear Freebie at PPBN

Dt Member Patti here to tell you all about an incredible new freebie at Paper Piecings By Nikki.  It is the cutest little bear dressed as a turkey.  I just finished making my project with this little guy and want to share it with you.  First, here's a look at the file.

 

When you go to Nikki's store, www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com, you will see that she asks you to 'find' the new freebie among her pages.  Once there, you may not be able to leave the store without grabbing another file or two!

 

 

Here's what I did with this file:

 

 

After I got this all made, I thought, 'Jeez, I should have added an action wobble and the sentiment, "Gobble til you wobble".'  Oh well, guess I need to make another.  :)

 

 

You can also win a free paper piecing - Yep, all made up - from our incredible design team sister, Mary.  Just go to the Paper Piecings By Nikki fan page on facebook and leave a comment under her posting, and you can win it!!!  Here's a look at Mary's finished piecing:

 

Isn't she amazing?  Make sure you leave a comment so you can have a chance to win this adorable piecing.

SNEAK PEEK AT THE NEW STAMPS

Welcome!  DT Patti here to share with you some new stamps!  Nikki sent these pictures to me last night and I have to say I am so excited!  These are all going to be 'must have's' for me.

Here's the first one.  Isn't this AWESOME?  It will be perfect for the Campin' Crazy file!

I definitely have to have this one.  Look at that cute face - I soooooooo feel like this on a daily basis.  Perfect for Nikki's  'A Bunch of Nuts" file.  I think her crazy design team inspired this one!

This is an absolute must have!  I was just saying to someone that I needed a word bubble stamp.  My grandest daughter is always making her piecings say things, and she's obsessed with word bubbles....How perfect is this?

Oh Gosh, need I say more?  I so need to make a key chain with this one!

I feel a scrapbook page developing with this one!

I NEED this one for gift tags! 

Perfect for scrapbook pages, calendar's....journals.....another must have.

Hope you enjoyed the peek at some of the new stamps.  Please visit Nikki's store and get yours today!
