Good morning and welcome to the Ring in the New Year paper piecing blog hop hosted by Nikki of Paper Piecings by Nikki.   I sure hope you are having a wonderful time and get tons of ideas from the creative ladies in front of me!!

Today I want to share a two page layout I made using patterns from PPbN store called Happy New Year pattern 2012.  I love these little guys, and they are so easy to cut and piece!

Here is what the entire set looks like:

I didn't use the entire set, I just cut the baby bears for this layout

Here is the spread with some temporary photos in place for effect

This is page one sans photos - they haven't been taken yet

Close up of baby bear with balloons..I used a mini diaper pin instead of cutting it

Here is a close up of the baby bear definitely after midnight LOL

this is page 2 of the layout

 I hope you all had a wonderful New year celebration and have some resolutions you can actually keep (I don't think I've ever kept a single one)

Your next stop is Mindy

thank you for stopping by

  BUT WAIT there's more! - don't you just love that statement!

 I am going to offer blog candy to start the New Year off right!  All you need to do is comment on each blog in this hop, then make sure you stop in at PPbN fanpage on facebook and tell Nikki I sent you.  That's it, easy huh?

This candy includes; little black bows from Offray, orange brads, paper clips and buttons from Life's little Occasions, stickers from Jolee's boutique, and misc ribbon pieces!

   Until next time, thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin'
