If you've seen the Freeze Frames this week at the MFT blog, you know you're in for a treat as we show you teasers for the next five days. Today we're showing you Flapper Doodles - Hold Me Tight, Typewriter Alphabet, and Own Your Story (packaged with Four-Point Frame Die-namics die). I'm showing you Own Your Story and Typewriter Alphabet, but first, a few little things you need to know:

Every day there will be a prize hidden on two of the Creative Team's blog posts. Leaving a comment on every designer's blog post will give you the best chance of winning every day :) Check the MFT blog daily for the winners.

• The April Hop and Shop will begin at 10:00pm April 5th, with the hop also starting at the MFT Blog.

Soooo, here's my card for today. This card is also for the Guest Designer Challenge, which is Shabby Chic. Totally fun and totally right up my alley :) Love me some Shabby Chic.

I used three stamps from Own Your Story on the sentiment focal image: the notebook lines, the sentiment itself, and the pale blue flourish. Then, see the little heart with I{heart}U on it? I did that using the new Typewriter Alphabet set. There are two sizes of letters, upper and lower case for both. I used the smaller size for the heart and did the {brackets} freehand and pinned it to the focal image with a Tim Holtz Memo Pin. Just THINK of the possibilities with this set! 'Course, I did some extreme distressing both with a tool and ink, and sanded the scalloped border. Speaking of which - yep, another new die!! Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics die!! OMGosh! A perfect size scallop!! Love. And also speaking of new dies, the flower--Pretty Posies is a new 5 petal flower die in three sizes! More love. Finally, some lace, some tea dyed seam binding and it was done! Other MFT products I used are Fossil, Whip Cream, Sno Cone, and Gumdrop Green cardstock.

Here's the inside with another fabulous sentiment from Own Your Story. This set has so many encouraging and uplifting sentiments--you'll be reaching for it often, as will I.

What do you think of our new Die-namics graphics. Are they pure MFT, or what!?

That's it for today's teaser--thanks SO much for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with another peek at April's fabulous release.
